Felly, rwyf hefyd yn lansio heddiw ymgynghoriad ar Ganllawiau Gwella Ysgolion anstatudol. Mae'r canllawiau hyn yn nodi'r fframwaith newydd ar gyfer gwerthuso, gwella ac atebolrwydd, sy'n cyd-fynd â’r Cwricwlwm i Gymru. Mae'r canllawiau'n egluro'r gwahaniaeth rhwng gweithgareddau gwerthuso a gwella ac atebolrwydd. Yn ystod y cyfnod adfer a thu hwnt, dylai'r rhan fwyaf o'r egni a'r ffocws yn y system fod ar wella ysgolion, a arweinir gan hunanwerthuso, cynllunio gwelliant a chymorth effeithiol ym mhob ysgol. Serch hynny, ni ddylai'r system atebolrwydd lywio gweithgarwch gwella ysgolion, er y dylai llywodraethu ac arolygu effeithiol sicrhau bod materion yn cael eu nodi a'u datrys.
We will step up our engagement with schools, giving them time and space to come together in a national conversation to reflect on their experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic, their challenges around learning recovery, and how we can co-construct the approaches and support that will allow us to move forward together. I know that practitioners and learners will not be able to focus on learning unless we create the space for this. We cannot expect schools and practitioners to build an understanding of and vision for the new curriculum until they have worked with their learners to refocus their learning journey. This space must be a long-term commitment, both to support learning and to continue to provide support to progress the Curriculum Implementation Plan.
