Students Must Know the Password to Enter Your Classroom!

Master Spanish teacher and TCI/TPRS expert Bryce Hedstrom walks you through the how and why of using passwords. Turn your Spanish class into an exclusive club. Restrict entry by asking for a password! This practice works well with any approach or curriculum. Details on how to present the word or phrase and what makes a good password, the problems you may encounter and their solutions, to the potent and wide-ranging positive results you can expect and why they happen, are all in the book.

Using passwords:

creates a buzz around the school about your class
gets students speaking the target language before they even get in the door

Fantastic ideas. Well-organized and planned out.

One of the best ideas I have tried

I was intrigued about using passwords and began after reading this book. The students were nervous at first, but just as Bryce says, they start using the language outside the classroom and it is fun. I heartily recommend this technique.

Review of order experience

Ordering books through your company was very simple. I did have to call your help desk since I needed to download my purchases and I was not seeing how to get them downloaded. The helper was very polite and helpful and the process was easy. Thank you.

Great resource! Easy to read, lots of research and ideas, I implemented this as a test just last week and even my most anti-participation student jumped right in!

What's the password?

Aug 14, 2019 | By Elise Carlson

I absolutely love the idea of having a password to enter class! I have been in school three weeks already and have used a new password every week and my high school are really into it. On Monday, if they don't remember the word they are looking it up in their notes or on their phone. They all have it learned by midweek. Definitely a hit!

What's the Password? (Spanish Book)

I had the privilege of hearing Bryce Hedstrom present on "passwords" at the C.I. in the Mitten Conference this past April. I had never heard of this concept before, and so I attended his session with a combination of skepticism and curiosity. Not only did Bryce present the philosophy behind this practice, but he also provided examples and explained how the use of passwords functions in his Spanish classes. Because he well articulated the importance of "meeting students at the door", and because I wanted a concrete way of doing so this year, I decided to try "passwords" for my Spanish classes... and it has been a true blessing. Not only can I teach students words, phrases, and concepts that might otherwise be difficult to work into my curriculum, but it allows me the opportunity to interact one-on-one with each student (and sometimes privately, if needed) before class even starts. Bryce's resource on "Passwords" is an added blessing, because now I can refresh myself on what he shared at the conference (how to incorporate these passwords, possible "pitfalls", etc.) AND have pages of examples for ALL levels-- without me having to try and come up with them all on my own. This has saved me time and mental energy, which we all know are valuable commodities. I highly recommend buying this book and trying "passwords" in your own World Language classrooms. You won't regret the results-- including the smiles on your students' faces!
