Who Am I?
Mrs. Forbes
Something unique about me
During my 30+ years as an educator, I have worked as an English teacher, Resource teacher, GED tutor, Learning Center director, Home-bound instructor, Curriculum developer and Writing Center co-teacher.
Strengths and talents
I am a good listener and I try to look beyond the behavior to get to the reason behind it.
I am really good at finding resources and ideas.
Mrs. Forbes' goals
Goal #1: I would like to heal my Achilles tendon.
a. I will take my anti-inflammatory medicine.
b. I will ice my ankle twice each day.
c. I will do my suggested mobility exercises daily, even when it's uncomfortable.
Goal #2: I hope that all my students will earn a 'C' or better and pass the SOL test.
a. I will help students make revisions until they are happy with their grades.
b. I will be available before and after school every Wednesday and during PRIME on Thursdays if students want extra help.
c. I will work to help students become better organized and aware of the need to prioritize their responsibilities.
In the future...
In five years, I see myself...spending more time traveling and sightseeing with my husband. I also see myself owning a miniature pot belly pig.
In ten years, I see myself...retired from daily teaching, but involved with tutoring, Mobile Hope and Meals on Wheels. I hope to be able to spend lots of time with my granddaughter and hopefully a few more grandchildren.
