1. Having students choose the safe word can encourage positive class culture because the students can feel that their interests and their voice are being heard and taken into consideration.
2. This simple approach can take some stress off of classroom management because like the teacher expressed in this video, you do not have to continuously count down or say "all eyes up here, I need you to get quiet, etc." You can set the expectation with the secret word and they follow.
3. I have involved my students in the process of creating our class rules and asked for their input on what to do when certain expectations are not followed. I have also asked my students what things they prefer for morning work, so that they get the chance to converse with their friends at the start of the day while also getting some things done (such as reading together).
