The venture was an initiative of the three original directors Lois Chick, Kevin Knight and John Langley to meet a need in teacher education for a high quality alternative to the colleges of education. NZGSE’s Graduate Diploma in Teaching Primary and Graduate Diploma in Teaching Secondary programmes are approved by NZQA. An in depth examination of NZGSE’s programmes was conducted by NZQA, the former New Zealand Teachers Council and senior representatives of the teacher education sector in New Zealand. These programmes are approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority under the provisions of the Education Act 1989, and New Zealand Graduate School of Education is accredited to offer them.
NZGSE’s Graduate Diploma in Teaching Primary and Graduate Diploma in Teaching Secondary teaching have been approved by the New Zealand Teachers Council. Lois Chick, Kevin Knight and John Langley formed a company to become this new enterprise New Zealand Graduate School of Education. By the end of the development phase NZGSE had acquired premises and equipment, was registered as a private training establishment, was accredited to work in the field of teacher education and had a Diploma of Teaching programme recognised by NZQA and the Teacher Registration Board now called the NZ Teachers Council . New Zealand Graduate School of Education’s first teacher training programme began on 1 October 1996 with a small intake of eight students training as primary teachers.

During 1995, three teacher educators together decided there was a need for a high quality alternative to the traditional teacher education programmes. Lois Chick, Kevin Knight and John Langley formed a company to become this new enterprise New Zealand Graduate School of Education.
The vision was that NZGSE would be an exemplar for other training providers an organisation that would challenge by example the current practices in teacher education. By the end of the development phase NZGSE had acquired premises and equipment, was registered as a private training establishment, was accredited to work in the field of teacher education and had a Diploma of Teaching programme recognised by NZQA and the Teacher Registration Board now called the NZ Teachers Council . In 2005, the programme was renamed Graduate Diploma in Teaching on the recommendation of the Teachers Council. A fourth director Harry Lim joined NZGSE in October 1996 to provide more business perspective. Rod Browning who was formerly NZGSE’s Secondary Programme Leader was invited to be a Director in 2010 and recently retired from this role.
