The School of Education at Victoria University of Wellington was an integral part of Wellingtons educational domain from 1927 until its disestablishment in 2008. It is now part of the new Faculty of Education at Victoria University. Here, past and present members of the School offer their reflections, recollections and current research. This book is both a way of remembering and a way of looking forward to the Schools continuing influence on education, both in New Zealand and internationally.
