When students are uncomfortable, they are distracted and unproductive. Alternative seating allows students to find comfortable positions throughout the classroom. Comfortable students are calm, focused, and productive.
I often pull my students to test or to assist with remediation in my smaller classroom where the room is calmer and the distractions are limited. When this occurs, they often lose focus and attention because they don't want to be there and the room doesn't provide comfort. I have found that a student being comfortable somehow allows him/her to stay vested in the task, and their behavior is equally positive.
My students will love having the opportunity to earn alternative seating options and will look forward to small group testing and remediation of skills that need mastering away from the general education student.
