Deciding on Lucas and My Goals for Observation

Ms. A's third hour class is a block class, meaning that she has the same twelve students for two class periods.  Of these twelve students, nine of them have IEPs in place.  In choosing who I was going to observe, I asked my CT if she had any suggestions.  She was the one who suggested Lucas to me.  I began to take note of what Lucas was doing more carefully and realized that he was always doing something.  He was chatting with a friend, fiddling with something new, or exploring a new area of the classroom.  I found him intriguing and wanted to learn more about why he did what he did what he did.  
From Lucas, I hope to learn better how to handle a student that has a behavioral disorder.  My goal is to observe how Ms. A explores new ways to try to reel him into the class discussions and see what techniques work and what does not work so well.  My hope is that by the end of this semester, I will know I would handle and build a successful working relationship with a student with a behavioral disorder.
