Sydney Teachers' College is a higher education institution that trains school teachers in Sydney, Australia. It has been around since 1906 until the end of 1981, when it became the Sydney Institute of Education, part of the new Sydney College of Advanced Education (Sydney CAE). On January 1, 1990, the Sydney Institute of Education merged with the University of Sydney which eventually became part of the School of Education at the University of Sydney.

History
The college was founded in 1906 with Alexander Mackie appointed Principal in November of the same year. Mackie firmly believes that the college can partner with the University of Sydney. Before that there was a teacher-student system in New South Wales, followed by two training academies, Hurlstone Residential College for women and Fort Street high school for men. Public discontent with the teacher-student system led to the establishment of a non-residential co-education training college in the part of Blackfriars primary school on Parramatta Road (now Broadway). In 1905 people moved from Fort Street to Blackfriars, and in 1906 the women moved from Hurlstone College to Blackfriars. In the first year there were 189 students (this, 178 were serving teachers). Mackie was appointed a Lecturer in Education at the University (while continuing as Principal of the Teacher Academy) in 1909. In 1910 he also became Professor of Education and Principal of Higher Education (a position held by his successor Christopher R. McRae). In the same year, the University Senate approved the Diploma of Education, taught jointly by the University and Teachers College.
An Act was passed in 1912 for the construction of a new Teachers College at the University of Sydney's yard. However, the construction of the First World War was delayed, and the foundation stone was not laid until 1917. The building was officially opened in 1925 (but the students moved into a partially completed building in 1920).
In 1933, the course offerings have become fixed: (a) a regular 2-year course: to prepare teachers for primary and kindergarten work, teaching science in technical and domestic junior science schools, manual training, commercial work, agriculture and general instruction; (B) 4-year course and graduate from University or 3-year course (2 years at University and 1 in College) for secondary school's specialist teacher; (c) 5 years of study for some students (mostly honors students in science).
A short course was made in 1938 to prepare traders to teach trade in a Technical Education Branch of the Department of Public Instruction in that it eventually expanded into a division within the College and later became the Institute of Sydney CAE.
The 1940s also saw the expansion of post-college post-college training and postgraduate courses for practicing teachers; special courses offered for the officers of the Department of Child Welfare, the Ministry of Health and the Housing Commission; courses developed in broadcasting, visual education, counseling, librarianship and religious education. This obviously causes a dramatic increase in campus size. A temporary Annex founded at Enmore Public School as a student in 1951 was 2339. But in 1954, Enmore Annex was closed and its function was transferred to Newtown Newtown High School on Carillon Avenue. An additional campus was established for Technical Teacher Education at GAZAL Building, Bulwarra Street, Ultimo and an advanced campus for Elementary School Teacher Education at Salisbury Road, Newtown.
The 1970's saw college undergoing many changes. In September 1971, Sydney Teachers' College became a Higher Education College in the Department of Education. The Higher Education Act (1969) was replaced by the College of Further Education Act (1975) which determined the operation of Teachers' College from that date. The Bachelor of Education course was established in 1975 for students who intend to become teachers of the Home Economy Fine Arts Industry. A few years later the Bachelor of Education program expanded to include Humanities, Science, and Mathematics.
The Teachers' College continues to offer: (a) Diploma of Teaching; (B) Graduate Diploma in Education; (C) Graduate Diploma in Education Studies; (D) Graduate Diploma in Adult Education; (e) Conversion Diploma Course in Technical Teacher Education. College staff work with staff from Royal Prince Alfred Hospital (RPAH) to develop basic nursing and post nursing basic education programs, and participate in the undergraduate nursing training program.
In 1981, the College has set up a center in the field of specialists. In that year, they included: (a) Research Center; (b) The Sydney Human Performance Laboratory; (c) Audio Visual Center; (d) The Sydney Education Museum Center; (e) Curriculum Center; (f) Multicultural Education Projects.
On December 31, 1981, college no longer exists. It was replaced by the Sydney Institute of Education which was part of the Sydney College of Advanced Education and, in 1990, the Sydney Institute of Education became part of the University of Sydney.
