kick off it's Spring 2016 /DUET Seminar Series/ 
<http://mit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8648a578a875fdf1d4fff9c2d&id=e88dab43e2&e=e1a744ca4f> 
with a talk by Susan Ambrose, co-author of /*How Learning Works: Seven 
Research-based Principles for Smart Teaching 
<http://mit.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=8648a578a875fdf1d4fff9c2d&id=6d1ed7718c&e=e1a744ca4f>*/, 
which has been widely praised for integrating fundamental research in 
the cognitive sciences and practical application. We will /*_raffle a 
few copies of her book _*/after the talk!

We need to balance intellectual exploration & discovery with 
professional preparation & practical skills in the education we provide 
to our students  — because of the changing nature of the workplace and 
the continuing skills gap noted by employers across industries (the very 
skills that we “believe” are foundational in what we do/teach). Dr. 
Ambrose will discuss a variety of the “balances” we need to consider, 
including disciplinary content and intellectual skills; intellectual 
skills and professional skills; HOW students learn with WHAT students 
learn, among others. She will also offer suggestions about how we might 
achieve these balances.

DUET is a /*DUE Education Talk*/ series organized by the /*Teaching and 
Learning Laboratory (TLL)*/. All members of the MIT community interested 
in learning more about education are welcome to attend. DUET’s goal is 
to provide access to educational research that can support individual 
and institutional efforts to enhance residential student learning.
