Dear reader,

In this issue, we highlight the new edition of the school improvement planning framework, and how the framework is helping to put children at the centre of school improvement planning. This is the last tdaNews for 2008, and I'd like to wish you all a relaxing winter break – look out for the next issue in January 2009.
