Practicing Management and praxis@MIT Sloan: Preparation, Action, and Reflection
To be effective managers - or to transform the world - our graduates need to master the skills, perspectives, tools, and theories that enable them to work with people, with ideas, and with actions.
We want MIT Sloan to transform the world through people, ideas, and action. When it comes to our students, we know that as graduates our alumni are transforming the world. And many of our students have a real impact on MIT - and other communities - even during their time on campus. Why not recognize this impact, enlarge it, and treat it as a real learning experience? This is the idea behind the Practicing Management and praxis@MIT Sloan effort. New courses and educational experiences offer students the tools for active learning as well as the opportunities to define a learning path that best links classroom learning with practical experience. We also equip our students to be lifelong learners and strengthen our links with current and future alumni.
A distinctive aspect of MIT Sloan's Practicing Management and praxis effort is its focus on the real-world challenges of turning ideas into action. We know that we must not only teach students in the classroom, with the leading research and teaching materials in every domain, but link that learning to the world of action. To tie it all together and set the stage for a lifetime of learning from action, we link carefully grounded reflection to preparation and action. MIT Sloan students are at the leading edge of professional learning, taking integration beyond the classroom and into the real world [Practicing Management and praxis@MIT Sloan:the intended comparison is with new efforts at Yale and Stanford, which are more classroom-based].
