The half-annual work review session is around the corner. I typically don’t like such sessions because I feel that my good work should speak for itself. When we state the things we do for our students and the impact these actions create, we can’t help but embellish these work accomplishments slightly because the work review is inextricably linked to our performance bonus. I confess that posting my work review here makes me feel slightly better because regardless of whether I get promoted next year, I will earn some petty cents here. LOL.
