Class Experience
This class is taught in English.
Students will develop an awareness of executive functioning skills and strategies for using them during chess or other activities. Students will develop an appreciation of chess. Students will naturally practice social skills in a supported setting.
I've been playing chess for twenty years and using chess as a teaching strategy for two.
Learners using iPads may need to download the free jamboard app before class.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
In order to play chess together, we use Google Jamboard. This requires learners to click a link in chat. On the Jamboard, Learners are responsible for keeping track of their own turns and this does require a greater level of focus, skill, and responsibility than playing on a dedicated chess website. Some younger learners may need support practicing Jamboard manners.
