> They are role models for the next generation, constantly ensuring that our children and young people are reaching their full potential.
> 
> 
> That is why I am excited to announce that one of the new categories for this year’s awards is the Pupils’ Award for Best Teacher who has made a huge difference in their lives.

Rhian Morgan Ellis from Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhondda received the coveted Headteacher of the Year award at last year’s ceremony as a result of her transformational leadership in her school and community.


Speaking at the launch, Rhian said: 



> I was very proud to have won the award because I have always preached to the children at school that they are as good as anyone and that they can achieve anything they want to do. 
> 
> 
> “When I won this award I felt on behalf of our pupils' self\-worth that it proved to them that someone from this school can be as good as anyone, anyone in Wales, Europe or the world.


Born in the Rhondda Fach to a non\-Welsh speaking family, and attending a Welsh Medium school in the 60s, it was always Rhian’s vision to provide the same education for all children in the valley.


Nominations are open until 22 November, with the winners being revealed at an exclusive Awards ceremony in May 2020\.

Cafodd Gwobrau Addysgu Proffesiynol Cymru dros 100 o enwebiadau ledled Cymru y llynedd, gyda’r enillwyr teilwng yn cael eu henwi yn y seremoni fis Mai diwethaf. 


Gyda naw categori gwobrwyo, gan gynnwys *Athro Newydd Eithriadol, Gwaith Ieuenctid mewn Ysgolion* a Defnyddio’r Gymraeg mewn modd sy’n ysbrydoli, gallwch enwebu gweithiwr addysg proffesiynol rhagorol am sawl rheswm.


Mae tri chategori gwobrwyo newydd yn 2020, sef *Athro Gorau’r Disgybl/Disgyblion*, Athro’r Flwyddyn mewn Ysgol Gynradd ac Athro’r Flwyddyn mewn Ysgol Uwchradd. 


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Addysg, Kirsty Williams: 



> Mae’n fraint ac anrhydedd cael cyhoeddi bod Gwobrau Addysgu Proffesiynol Cymru yn ôl am y bedwaredd flwyddyn.



> Rydym yn lwcus iawn o gael gweithlu addysg anhygoel, ac mae’n bwysig iawn cydnabod a dathlu eu gwaith caled. 
> 
> 
> Ni ellir gorbwysleisio pwysigrwydd athrawon a staff addysgu. 
> 
> 
> Maen nhw’n dangos esiampl i’r genhedlaeth nesaf ac yn sicrhau bod ein plant a’n pobl ifanc yn cyrraedd eu llawn botensial yn barhaus.
> 
> 
> Dyna pam fy mod i’n llawn cyffro i gyhoeddi mai un o’r categorïau newydd eleni yw Gwobr y Disgybl (neu’r Disgyblion) ar gyfer Athro Gorau; gwobr a gaiff ei dyfarnu i rywun sydd wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth enfawr i’w bywydau. 
> 
> 
> Rwy’n edrych ‘mlaen at flwyddyn arall o ddathlu’r unigolion arbennig hyn ac yn falch o gyhoeddi bod yr enwebiadau nawr ar agor. 
> 
> 
> Rwy’n gobeithio y bydd pobl ledled y wlad yn cymryd eiliad i ddathlu’r gweithwyr addysg proffesiynol sy’n mynd yr ail filltir dros eu proffesiwn.”


Enillodd Rhian Morgan Ellis o Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhondda y wobr *Pennaeth y Flwyddyn* – sy’n wobr uchel ei pharch – yn y seremoni y llynedd o ganlyniad i’w harweinyddiaeth drawsnewidiol yn ei hysgol a’i chymuned.

> O’n i’n hynod falch fy mod i wedi ennill y wobr achos fi wastad wedi pregethu wrth y plant yn yr ysgol bod nhw gystal ag unrhyw un a bod nhw’n gallu cyflawni unrhyw beth maen nhw eisiau gwneud.
> 
> 
> “Felly pan enillais i'r wobr hon o’n i’n teimlo ar ran hunanwerth ein disgyblion ni bod e’n profi iddyn nhw bod rhywun o’r ysgol hon yn gallu bod gystal ag unrhyw un, unrhyw un yng Nghymru, Ewrop neu’r byd.


Mae’r enwebiadau ar agor tan 22 Tachwedd, gyda’r enillwyr yn cael eu datgelu mewn Seremoni Wobrwyo arbennig ym mis Mai 2020\.
