What's included
1 live meeting
1 in-class hoursHomework
1 hour per week. Students will receive chess puzzle homework sheets in a PDF format to be printed out. The chess puzzle homework sheets will be discussed in class to make sure all students understand what to do.Assessment
A learner is assessed by understanding the answers on each chess puzzle assignment and knowing how to checkmate to win their games. When a student practices chess at home, with others, or on-line, their skills will increase--this will reflect in their knowledge of the game.Class Experience
The students will learn that castling is a very special move that protects the King. It is the only time that two pieces, the King and the Rook, can move at the same time and yet call it one move. The students will learn that it is the only time when the King can move two spaces. They will learn that they have to touch the King first, and then the Rook, according to the United States Chess Federation rules. The students will learn the four special rules of castling, along with how to make the Kingside and Queenside Castling moves.
Learning Goals
The students will learn the importance of castling their King for protection and how it makes their games stronger. They will learn that when playing chess against an opponent, that they will have to touch the King first, instead of the Rook to make this castling move.

I am a retired public school teacher of 26 years and currently am a Supervisor of Academic Programming for the Central New York Chess organization on Outschool (https://outschool.com/teachers/CENTRAL-NY-CHESS-INC?usid=wUq7nkLS&signup=true&authTrigger=follow_teacher&follow=true&utm_campaign=share_leader_link). I have taught children and adults in Beginning and Intermediate 1 Chess classes for 23 years in after school programs, summer Chess Camps, online in my Cool Chess classes and now for Central New York Chess. I love to see how Chess helps the brain to think, to make predictions, to sequence, see patterns, etc. I love to see when a student learns how to checkmate and improves upon their game! I teach One Time Cool Chess classes and Private and Multi-Day Classes with Central New York Chess. I enjoy Art, Chess, Scrapbooking, and Travel! I hope to see you in my chess classes soon!Reviews
