With a focus on leading educational thinking and practice, the Melbourne based Centre for Strategic Education (CSE) is committed to education and educators in the interests of young people's learning. The vision of CSE from its inception has been to support, inform, influence and promote the interests of the teaching profession across all sectors locally, nationally and internationally. CSE offers a range of services, activities and resources including consultancy and advisory services, professional learning opportunities and professional publications. CSE's work highlights educational connections between the teaching profession, education agencies and policy makers and plays a valuable role within the education sector and across broader community sectors. These connections are achieved by working both independently and through partnerships and strategic alliances.
