Right now I have a couple things in the work that I will be able to add to my blog soon. I have emailed Ms. A a list of questions to answer regarding having Lucas in her classroom. They are:
1. What do you see as Lucas's strengths?
2. What are some things that Lucas struggles with?
3. What are some methods you have found that help him concentrate and focus more in class?
4. Has his family provided any suggestions for how to help engage Lucas in class?
5. How did you learn about Lucas's oppositional behavior disorder? Did he come with some information or did you do a lot of research on your own?
6. How do you modify lesson plans to meet Lucas's strengths and weaknesses?
I have yet to hear back from Ms. A but when I do, I will be sure to post her responses. I am also in the process of getting some of Lucas's class work. Ms. A has taken a lot of their work home with her and did not have it for me to look at but she said that she would bring some this following week. She did share with me his most recent test. On the test he had written his name and then a question mark on every single problem. There were no signs that he had attempted any problem. I will have to ask her some more follow up questions on this to see how long he sat with the test before turning it in. He may have at least thought about the problems before writing a question mark. Ms. A also seems rather reluctant to share with me the actual IEP and behavioral documents for Lucas. She does not want to get in trouble with sharing with me more than her administration would think appropriate, which I totally understand. What she has verbally told me about Lucas's IEP and behavioral plan was included in the blog entry titled "Profile."
