Chess During the School Day - Part 2 (Wednesday March 20, 2024)
Matan Prilleltensky, the Associate Executive Director of the National Scholastic Chess Foundation, will share instructional sequencing and curriculum teachers can use in their own programs. Special focus will be given to how children develop their vision of the board and master the basic skills, with plenty of training material for students to work on. The National Scholastic Chess Foundation is a nonprofit founded to bring the benefits of chess to children of all ages. It currently provides high quality chess instruction in New York, Connecticut, and Florida. Robert McKenzie, member of the US Chess Scholastic Council and a master classroom teacher, will explain how he uses chess to help at-risk young people develop their decision-making skills. There will be many opportunities for audience participation and dialogue between attendees and presenters.
Moderator: Paul Swaney, CIE Committee member
