Welcome to our SHTM Teacher's Peanut Butter Wiki!

This is an experimental, informal space to share ideas, concerns, issues - or raise questions for discussion within SHTM. Many of us have developed good ideas for teaching and learning (and other things too) that could be of help to each other. It is a private Wiki, only available to SHTM staff and research students.

"Great teaching requires taking risks. It comes from leaving behind methods that are familiar and comfortable, and trying new ones that may seem strange and ill-fitting. It comes out of being dissatisfied with what is merely adequate, and aiming for that which could be truly amazing." (from San Francisco State University, Center for Teaching & Faculty Development)
