Dear all, Just a reminder to pick up your (*free!*) tickets for next week's Senior Common Room Dinner on *April 4, 2019 at 6 pm*. Our final Senior Common Room Dinner of the 2018-2019 academic year will feature a talk on innovative approaches to pedagogy by *Professor Eric Mazur*, Balkanski Professor of Physics and Applied Physics at Harvard University, Member of the Faculty of Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and former President of the Optical Society. Mazur has written extensively on education and is the author of Peer Instruction: A User's Manual(Prentice Hall, 1997) and The Principles and Practice of Physics (Pearson, 2015), both of which explore new approaches to education. Mazur's lectures on interactive teaching, educational technology, and assessment have inspired people around the world to change their approach to teaching. Professor Mazur will explore these and other issues in his talk on April 4, titled Innovating Education to Educate Innovators. Educators want to prepare students for the 21st century, yet our educational approaches have evolved little over hundreds of years of academic teaching. Professor Mazur will explore how active engagement — both inside and outside the classroom — stimulates both higher-order thinking and motivation to learn. As usual, there will be a 5:30 pm reception in the Graduate Student Lounge (second floor of Dudley House) and a 6 pm dinner, talk and discussion in the Dudley House Common Room.
