  Case: Ants in Pants
In my internship there is a student that can not sit still, and is often a distraction for the other students. The teacher often allows him to stand next to his desk while he is working. This seemed to work for a short while, but now his constant fidgeting has become even more of a distraction. Has anyone found any helpful tactics that could help?

Maybe you could try doing a reward system. Try putting a visual reminder on their desk to stay seated. Set a timer for x amount of minutes and tell the student if they stay seated for that time, they get a pass to stand up or walk around for say 5 minutes.
