Tanya Fitzgerald is Professor of Educational Leadership, Management and History at La Trobe University, Australia. Her research interests span the fields of history of women's higher education, and higher education policy and leadership.  Sally Knipe is Associate Professor of Teacher Education at La Trobe University, Australia. Her research interests include the history and development of teacher education and the historical rise of education data.

The authors describe the history of teacher preparation in Aotearoa New Zealand and its evolution from a focus on teaching as a practical craft emphasizing classroom management and the mastery of knowledge to be taught to a learned profession. They discuss the social, historical, and political context of public education to explore issues in approaches to teacher preparation and training, emphasizing changes in nomenclature as teacher education moved from the pupil-teacher system to training colleges to colleges of education within universities. They discuss the shift from schools for new settlers and immigrants to a provincial and national system that prepared students for citizenship; the increasing bureaucratization of the teaching profession through regulation, inspection, and control of teachers' work; conflicts between the state, education boards, training colleges, and universities to control teacher preparation programs; training colleges and the transfer of teacher preparation programs to universities; and educational reforms in the late 20th century known as Tomorrow's Schools and their impact on schools and teacher preparation programs.
