Chess in Education

Join the Global Conversation!

Every last Wednesday of the month the ECU Education Commission holds a Discussion Group meeting for chess educators to share their experiences and discuss their ideas and knowledge on different topics related to Chess in Education.

Discussion Group Meetings allow participants to learn from each other and gain new insights through different perspectives.

This month:

Chess and Classroom Management

• What role can student input and feedback play in shaping the integration of chess into classroom management? How might we involve students in co-creating strategies and systems around chess that resonate with them?
• Beyond behavior management, how might we leverage chess as a tool for promoting social-emotional learning and fostering a positive classroom culture? What additional activities or initiatives could complement the use of chess in this context?

Discover innovative strategies, such as 'Chess Time' and 'Minus/Plus One' to promote positive behavior.
