Topical Teaching

We all hate being appraised, but it has become a requirement so we might as well adjust to it. I hope this list helps:

1. Come prepared – Prepare for everything that could happen, from defending criticisms to bringing typed lists and evidence of your achievements.
2. Look Those Assessing You in the Eye – Project confidence at all times.
3. Listen – Don’t argue whilst being criticised, it never works. Simply listen, take notes and have your say later. Let them feel “talked out” before you respond.
4. Have goals – Show that you reflect, are thinking ahead and prove to them that you have ambition and inner drive
5. Don’t Just Defend – Come in with something you want from them. Something like better condition, pay or responsibility.

Good Luck!
