2. School Placements for School-based WIL (Teaching Experience)

Teaching Experience placement takes place when Students Teachers are placed in work
environments (schools) for the purposes of learning. To ensure compliance, Teaching
Experience at The IIE is managed by several supplementary requirements and policies which
are included in The IIE Student Teacher Administrative Log.

As per The MRTEQ (DHET, 2015), The IIE Student Teacher will need to fulfil their Teaching
Experience requirements at a suitable school, as identified by the institution. It is the
responsibility of the institution offering the qualification to formally arrange the school
placement opportunity. At The IIE, the campus Teaching Experience Coordinator (TEC) is
responsible for the placement of all IIE Student Teachers in schools. The campus TEC is
responsible for ensuring that students are placed within school environments that accord with
The DHET’s specifications for the stipulated periods and age/grade for each year of study.

The DHET states that in initial teacher education programmes it is “important for students to
be exposed to the concrete experience of the varied and contrasting contexts of schooling in
South Africa” (DHET, 2015: 18). The IIE Student Teacher is therefore expected to attend
differently resourced schools for their Teaching Experience during the four years of their
degree. The IIE Student Teacher is expected to organise their transport to and from their
placement, not to be reimbursed by The IIE nor the brand at which the student studies (IIE 006
WIL Policy).

The campus TEC works with partner schools to secure student placements and continues to
establish links with new schools each year. Please note, campuses are not able to
accommodate specific student placement requests. We are confident that you will learn an
immense amount from your teaching experiences in the different schools in which you are
placed, and that you will emerge as a teaching graduate who is ready to adapt successfully to
any schooling environment that you decide to take employment in.

The following administrative documents are included as Appendices in The IIE Student Teacher
Administrative Log and are used by campus Teaching Experience Coordinators in the
placement of The IIE Student Teacher.

Teaching Experience Placement Form (Appendix A)

On each year of registration, The IIE Student Teacher will be required to complete the Teaching
Experience Placement Form to provide the campus TEC with the necessary information to
source their Teaching Experience placement (see Appendix A).

school placement for Teaching Experience has been confirmed. The IIE Student Teacher must
ensure that they have this form with them when they visit the host school.

3. The IIE’s Requirements for Access into School-based WIL


(Teaching Experience)

The IIE Student Teacher is required to meet specific requirements for entrance into school-

a copy of the Police Clearance Certificate in the administrative section of their Teaching
Experience File at school. The campus is required to keep a copy of the PCC on file. The student
will bear the cost of the police clearance certificate for each year in which they are registered
for school-based WIL (Teaching Experience).

Provisional SACE Registration Requirement

All final year students registered for an initial teacher education qualification with The IIE are
required to provisionally register with the South African Council of Educators (SACE). Students
will be provided guidance and instructions on how to register with SACE through the campus
Teaching Experience Coordinator (IIE 006 WIL Policy).

Appendix C: The IIE Code of Ethics for Teaching Experience

The IIE Code of Ethics for Teaching Experience

PREAMBLE
This document serves as a set of guidelines for when you represent The IIE and yourself on the
Teaching Experience 2 component of your programme. The Code of Ethics for Teaching
Experience does not replace ‘The IIE Safety, Conduct and Disciplinary Policy IIE015’, which all
students are subject to at any time during their studies.

Excerpt from the IIE Safety, Conduct and Disciplinary Policy IIE015 (IIE, 2022):
“… expects its students to conduct themselves in line with the Constitution of the
Republic of South Africa, the common law of the country, and the preservation of human
rights and dignity… This includes adherence to all rules and regulations of The IIE in
general and as may be specifically detailed from time to time” (IIE, 2022).

The IIE Code of Ethics for Teaching Experience (over and above The IIE Safety, Conduct and
Disciplinary Policy IIE015) is important as part of your professional conduct in schools and for
the integral support The IIE offers to you during your practical preparation and experience as
developing teachers.

Appendix E: The Lecture Attendance Requirements for Modules Aligned


to School-based Work Integrated Learning (i.e., Teaching Experience)
on The IIE Faculty of Education Programmes

This document outlines the lecture attendance requirements on identified modules to grant access on to
School-based Work Integrated Learning [i.e., Teaching Experience (T.E.)].
Regular attendance on the key modules on the programmes is essential to student engagement and
preparedness in Teacher Education Programmes. It is important that Initial Teacher Education (ITE)
students understand the highly participatory nature of the Teacher Education Programmes. Poor
attendance has a negative effect on morale, is considered unprofessional and can lead to students not
achieving the required breadth and depth of experiences (The University of British Columbia, 2018).
Regular attendance in the identified modules (currently prerequisite or corequisite modules aligned to
Teaching Experience) is a professional commitment that should be expected of all teacher candidates and
a requirement of professional practice. As an institution, we have a responsibility to ensure that our ITE
students are prepared to responsibly engage with school going learners.
The identified modules comprise a careful knowledge mix of disciplinary, pedagogical, and practical
learning in preparation for teaching in schools.
The following lecture attendance 7 requirements apply:
Lecture attendance requirements
 Students will be allowed access to the main school-based Teaching Experience per relevant year if:
a) they have met the 80 % lecture attendance requirement for each of the identified modules

identified modules as is aligned to Teaching Experience for that year:

b) Students will be expected to achieve a combined 80 % lecture attendance (i.e average)


across the identified modules on condition that no single module attendance falls below 70

of this document, for the following programmes:

7
On Education Programmes offered in the Distance mode, lecture attendance is referred to as online engagement.
8In the case of the Bachelor of Education Degrees: There may be students that gain access to Teaching Experience Block 1 (in
semester 1), as the 80 % attendance requirement for the identified modules is incomplete at that point. However, should they
not meet the attendance requirement as of the end of semester 1, they will then be denied access on to main school-based
Teaching Experience (Block 2) in semester 2. In 4th year please note however, the specifics as laid out in that section in the
document.

Absence from lecture sessions

• If the reason for missing a scheduled lecture aligns to one of the concessions or exceptions in the
Assessment Strategy and Policy (IIE009), the supporting documentation needs to be lodged on the
Student Hub within five working days of the missed lecture sessions. The onus is on the student to
manage timelines accordingly.

IIE: 009: Assessment Strategy and Policy

Types of Concessions or exceptions applicable include:

 Permitted General
The following seven life events applicable here are:
viii. Death of an immediate family member.
ix. Own serious illness or injury.
x. Serious illness or injury of an immediate family member;
xi. Official representation in recognised provincial/ national/ international
competitions;
xii. Court appearances and study or resident visa renewal appointments;
xiii. Serious crime and motor vehicle accidents;
xiv. National or Regional Unrests, Protests, Strikes or Vandalism.
 Religious: There are religious occasions that would allow concessions
 Special Concessions: Concessions for Chronic Psychological and Physical Conditions.

 Types of Concessions or exceptions that are NOT applicable include


o scheduled personal appointments, including routine medical or dental care,
o special events, such as weddings, travel, etc.,
o vacations
o students are expected to make arrangements that do not conflict with scheduled lecture
sessions. Students are expected to be fully accountable for any absences that may occur over
the course of their Teacher Education qualification.
 Students assume the responsibility for these types of absences and understand that repeated absences
for these purposes may result in their attendance falling below the 80 % attendance requirement.
 Special Note: If the student is required to complete their School-based WIL Teaching Experience in a
“Special Teaching Experience Period” and the duration of the School-based WIL Teaching Experience
conflicts with The IIE Academic Calendar, then the student will not be disadvantaged and the 80 %
lecture attendance requirement will be calculated from when the student ends their “Additional
Teaching Experience Sitting”, at the school.
