Our Work

We are a charitable trust offering school-based teacher education and learning in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our mission is to support primary and secondary schools to ensure their students have access to exceptional teaching and learning.

Teacher Training

TTI offers two school-based Postgraduate qualifications: Primary and Secondary. Trainees are carefully selected in collaboration with partner schools and TTI staff to enrol in a one-year, full-time programme leading to New Zealand teacher registration. The programme features a unique mode of delivery, with all trainees based in a home school for the entire year, fully engaging in all aspects of school life.

Professional Development

We support schools in enhancing their teaching and leadership practices by providing professional learning and development opportunities. We offer a range of seminars and workshops led by highly experienced specialists both from New Zealand and overseas.

Partner Schools

We are establishing a network of partner schools across Auckland that share our kaupapa and are eager to become home schools for our teacher trainees. Our programmes recognise the essential role that schools play in the pre-service training of teachers and are designed to foster true partnerships with these schools. Our partner schools are not merely practicum sites; they are integral to the programme, working in harmony with the theoretical component delivered by TTI.
