Wedi'u datblygu mewn partneriaeth ag athrawon o bob cwr o Gymru, mae'r safonau newydd yn canolbwyntio ar y nodweddion hanfodol hynny sy'n rhan o waith athrawon – addysgeg, cydweithio, arwain, arloesi, a dysgu proffesiynol drwy gydol eu gyrfa. Bydd y safonau newydd yn:  
  


* Disodli 55 o hen safonau â phump o safonau a disgrifyddion newydd sy'n caniatáu i athrawon eu defnyddio mewn ffordd sy'n briodol i'w swydd.
* Ysbrydoli, herio a chefnogi pob ymarferwr, o'r athrawon dan hyfforddiant i'r penaethiaid mwyaf profiadol, i ganolbwyntio ar y sgiliau, yr wybodaeth a'r ymddygiadau y mae eu hangen arnynt i ddiwallu anghenion eu dysgwyr.
* Rhoi mwy o gefnogaeth i unigolion sy'n newydd i'r proffesiwn addysg drwy gynnig gwell cyswllt rhwng addysg gychwynnol i athrawon, y cyfnod ymsefydlu, a'r datblygiad parhaus yn ystod eu gyrfa.
* Cydnabod yr angen i athrawon gydweithio'n fwy effeithiol er mwyn sicrhau bod pob dysgwr yn elwa ar ddulliau dysgu ac addysgu rhagorol.
* Datblygu'r gallu i arwain o fewn y system addysg drwy gefnogi pob un o'r athrawon i ddatblygu eu sgiliau arwain.

Bydd gofyn i'r holl athrawon ac arweinwyr sy'n gweithio yn y maes ddefnyddio’r safonau erbyn mis Medi 2018, yn ogystal â’r unigolion sy'n dilyn rhaglenni addysg gychwynnol i athrawon o fis Medi 2019 ymlaen. Bydd hyn yn rhoi cyfle i'r gweithlu ymgyfarwyddo â'r safonau newydd cyn eu bod yn orfodol.  
  
Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:  

> "Ry'n ni'n gweld gwerth i'n gweithlu addysg yng Nghymru, ac ry'n ni eisiau eu cefnogi nhw i fod y gorau y gallan nhw ei fod drwy gydol eu gyrfa. 
> 
> "Yn syml iawn, safon yr athrawon sy'n gwneud system addysg dda. Ochr yn ochr ag athrawon a rhieni, rwyf innau'n rhannu'r uchelgais i gael proffesiwn sy'n ymroddedig i'r safonau uchaf, i ddysgu gydol oes, ac i gynnal disgwyliadau uchel ar gyfer pob disgybl.
> 
> "Diben y safonau newydd hyn yw sicrhau bod athrawon yn datblygu'r sgiliau cywir gydol eu gyrfaoedd. Maen nhw'n grymuso'r unigolion sy'n addysgu yn ein hystafelloedd dosbarth i gydweithio er mwyn gwella deilliannau dysgwyr. Dyma elfen allweddol o'r gwaith hollbwysig i symud tuag at system sy'n cael ei hysgogi gan ddysgu gydol gyrfa. Fy ngweledigaeth i yw cryfhau arweinyddiaeth a sicrhau bod gwell cysondeb ar draws ein hysgolion.

> "Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r athrawon, yr arweinwyr, y consortia, a phartneriaid eraill a fu'n rhan  o'r gwaith o ddatblygu'r safonau newydd hyn. Dyma dystiolaeth o’r hyn y mae modd ei gyflawni drwy gydweithio."

Mae Cyngor y Gweithlu Addysg wedi datblygu ac ehangu'r Pasbort Dysgu Proffesiynol fel y gall athrawon fyfyrio ar eu harferion a chofnodi eu datblygiad yn erbyn y 5 safon.  
Dywedodd Hayden Llewellyn:


> "Fel rhywbeth ychwanegol i'r Pasbort, mae'r Safonau'n cael eu croesawu. Ry'n ni'n annog athrawon i'w defnyddio wrth gynllunio eu dysgu a'u datblygiad proffesiynol yn ystod eu gyrfa."

Bydd y pedwar consortia addysg rhanbarthol yn sicrhau bod gan yr holl athrawon sydd newydd gymhwyso fentor i'w cefnogi â'r gwaith o ddefnyddio'r safonau a chyflwyno tystiolaeth ohonynt drwy gydol eu cyfnod ymsefydlu.







Translation:


 
Developed in partnership with teachers across Wales, the new standards concentrate on the essential elements of every teacher’s work – pedagogy, collaboration, leadership, innovation and career\-long professional learning.  
  
The new standards will:  


* Replace 55 standards with five standards and descriptors that allow teachers to use the standards in a way that’s appropriate to their role.
* Inspire, challenge and support every practitioner, from the trainee teacher to the experienced head teacher to focus on the skills, knowledge and behaviours required to meet the needs of their learners.
* Better support new entrants to the teaching profession by bringing greater continuity between initial teacher education, induction and continued development throughout a teacher’s career.
* Acknowledge the need for teachers to work together more effectively to make sure all learners benefit from excellent teaching and learning.
* Develop the leadership capacity within the education system by supporting all teachers to develop their leadership skills.

The standards will apply to all serving teachers and leaders by September 2018 and initial teacher training programmes from September 2019\. This will provide time to build familiarity with the new standards before they become mandatory.  
  
Kirsty Williams said:  

> “We value our professional teaching workforce in Wales, and want to support them to be the best they can be throughout their careers.
> 
> “Quite simply, no education system is better than the quality of its teachers. Alongside teachers and parents, I share the ambition for a profession committed to the highest standards, lifelong learning and high aspirations for all pupils.
> 
> “These new standards are about making sure teachers develop the right skills throughout their career. They empower all those teaching in our classrooms to work together to raise learner outcomes. This is a key part of a fundamental shift towards a system driven by career\-long learning. My vision is to strengthen leadership and make sure that there is greater consistency across our schools.
> 
> “I am grateful to all those teachers, leaders, consortia and other partners who have been directly involved in developing these new standards – it is testament to what can be achieved through us working together.”

The Education Workforce Council has developed an enhanced Professional Learning Passport so that teachers can reflect on their practice and map their development against the 5 standards.

Hayden Llewellyn said:


> “The standards are a welcome addition to the Passport. We encourage teachers to use them in planning their professional learning and development as they progress through their careers.”

The four regional education consortia will ensure that every newly qualified teacher has a mentor to support them in using and evidencing the standards throughout their induction period.
