Move to a new location in the classroom

Why should I do it:

Can help students with focus and attention
Increases attending behaviors
Limits distractions
Saves time taken away to address students
Provides a way to break up monotony and large chunks of time and work
Helps improve learning environment
 

When should I do it:

When a student is unfocused, inattentive, distracted
When a student is not getting along with a student near them
When a student is talking too much with those around them
When a student has been working for a longer period
When a student is fidgety and moving around in their seat
When a student seems bored or unengaged
When a student needs increased attention
When a student needs a break or change in routine
When a student seems tired or sleepy
 

How do I do it:

Simply have one or as many students as you feel appropriate get up and change seats either with another student, with an empty desk in the room, or to another spot, like a table, the teacher’s desk, on the floor, etc
