IoI Education Forum

“Are you a teacher who is suffering from professional dehydration? If so, you might find the Battle of Ideas to be just the tonic. If won’t provide you with any evidence of ‘best practice’, or even the slightest notion of ‘what works’. It will, however, drench you in controversy and steep you in new ideas. And this may again whet your appetite for teaching.”

Toby Marshall, IoI Education Forum


Occupy: illusory radicalism?

"The Battle of Ideas gives a forum for the most topical of debates and the healthy exchange of ideas - in our session what interested most was the contributions from the floor, also just the sheer buzz of the crowds in the foyers."
Jeremy Musson, writer and historic buildings consultant; former architectural editor, Country Life
