Tell us a little bit about what your team do? What are your roles?
Ros Smith ydw i a fi yw Rheolwr Cymorth i Ddysgwyr ac Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol. Mae'r Tîm Gwasanaeth Anghenion Dysgu Hyfforddeiaeth yn cynnwys 8 aelod ar draws 4 rhanbarth: OPH a’r Barri, Hadfield Road, Aberdâr a Phen-y-bont ar Ogwr, Caerffili a Glynebwy, sy'n cefnogi dysgwyr ag Anghenion Dysgu Ychwanegol. Rôl y tîm yw darparu cymorth un-i-un i ddysgwyr er mwyn iddynt gymryd rhan lawn ym mhob gweithgaredd hyfforddi. Rydym yn cynnig cefnogi mewn amgylchedd ystafell ddosbarth, gyda'u cymhwyster neu unrhyw broblemau emosiynol/ ymddygiadol i helpu eu sgiliau cymdeithasol. Mae tîm y Gwasanaeth Anghenion Dysgu hefyd yn darparu cymorth lles sy'n cynnwys trefnu dosbarthu parseli bwyd a chefnogi materion teuluol i ddigartrefedd.
I’m Ros Smith and I’m the Learner Support & Additional Learning Needs Manager. The Traineeship ALS Team consists of 8 members across 4 regions: OPH & Barry, Hadfield Road, Aberdare & Bridgend, Caerphilly and Ebbw Vale, who support learners with Additional Learning Needs. The team's role is to provide one-to-one support to learners in order for them to fully participate in all training activities. We offer supporting in a classroom environment, with their qualification or any emotional/behavioural problems to help their social skills. The ALS team also provide wellbeing support which includes arranging food parcel deliveries and supporting with family issues to homelessness.
Sut mae Tîm ALS wedi addasu i COVID?
How has the ALS Team adapted to COVID?
Rwy'n hynod falch o'm tîm a sut maen nhw wedi addasu a pherfformio gyda COVID. Drwy gydol y cyfyngiadau symud, rydym wedi sicrhau bod lles y dysgwyr wedi bod ar flaen y gad ym mhopeth. Cafodd pob dysgwr ei raddio gyda choch, melyn neu wyrdd, ac roeddem yn ffonio rhai dysgwyr deirgwaith yr wythnos i wirio eu lles. Dros nos, newidiodd ein rôl o gefnogi dysgwyr i gwblhau cymhwyster, er mwyn sicrhau bod ein dysgwyr yn cael eu cadw'n ddiogel ac yn iach. Ar ddechrau'r pandemig roedd rôl tîm y Gwasanaeth Anghenion Dysgu yn 75% lles 25% cymhwyster, ond oherwydd dysgu o bell a'n dysgwyr yn addasu, rydym bellach yn gweithio ar 25% o les a 75% cymhwyster.
I am extremely proud of my team and how they have adapted and performed with COVID. Throughout lockdown, we have ensured that the learners wellbeing has been at the forefront of everything. Each learner was rag rated and some learners were called three times a week to check on their wellbeing. Overnight, our role changed from supporting learners to complete a qualification, to ensuring our learners were kept safe and well. At the start of the pandemic the ALS team role was 75% wellbeing 25% qualification, but due to remote learning and our learners adapting, we are now working on 25% wellbeing and 75% qualification.
