Mae adroddiad yr Athro Donaldson yn nodi argymhellion uchelgeisiol o ran asesiadau ac atebolrwydd. Bydd y rhain yn destun cryn drafod a gwaith datblygu at y dyfodol. Fodd bynnag, yn y cyfamser, rhaid inni gynnal y system sydd gennym ar hyn o bryd er mwyn cael gwybodaeth ar berfformiad, cynnydd ac er mwyn pennu cefnogaeth briodol. Mae asesiadau athrawon yn ffordd werthfawr o sicrhau dealltwriaeth am y ffactorau hyn; y peth allweddol yw sicrhau bod y ddealltwriaeth yn gyson ar draws y wlad.
Professor Donaldson’s report sets out ambitious recommendations regarding assessment arrangements, which will be subject to much future debate and development. His report reaffirms that teacher assessment is a valuable way of understanding overall performance, progress and support requirements. Therefore, system we currently have must be maintained to provide information on exactly those things, and the key aspect is to make sure that understanding is consistent throughout the country.
