Peer Teaching
The PME2 Collaborative Teaching & Learning module focused on peer-led learning and drew on the varied skills and knowledge everyone brought to the course. It was built around the idea of students learning from each other through shared practice, ideas, and resources. Across the module, we led workshops, gave presentations, and ran seminars that encouraged open, interdisciplinary exchange.
I developed a deeper appreciation for the range of approaches my peers used and was able to create teaching resources that reflect my own style. I also gained hands-on experience with digital tools like PowerPoint and pre-recorded demos, which helped strengthen the way I present material in class. The module highlighted the value of collaboration in teaching and learning, giving me the chance to contribute to shared activities and build resources that I now use in my own teaching.
I had the opportunity to teach, alongside one of my peers, kitchen lithography—an accessible printmaking method that can be applied to a range of classroom projects. We introduced this technique as a flexible way for students to explore image-making through drawing, mark-making, and simple chemical reactions using foil, cola, and oil-based materials. We highlighted how kitchen lithography supports differentiation by giving students varied entry points to engage with the process, from direct drawing to experimenting with texture and pressure. The hands-on nature of the technique encourages tactile engagement and creative problem-solving. Teaching this method improved my ability to break down complex processes and use visual aids and demonstrations to support learning effectively.
