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 knowledge and experiences and discuss ideas on various 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:
From The Mechanical Turk to fair play
Chess stories and anecdotes in the classroom to teach ethics and fair play

Guest speaker
Dominika Stochniałek (Poland)
Dominika started teaching chess years ago when she was still a secondary school student. Currently, she is a teacher in Elementary School no. 52 in Poznań, a coordinator at Szachowa Gildia Swarzędz, a certified coach by the Polish Chess Association, National Arbiter and Treasurer of the Wielkopolska Chess Association. 

Dominika has gained the ECU School Chess Teacher Certificate and is working toward a Diploma from the Academic Training course Chess in Primary Education from the University of the Aegean. She will introduce her Unit 2 essay from the course, "Cheating, Accusations and Fair Play in Chess" and will talk about the importance of teaching fair play and ethics through storytelling, discussions and activities in the chess classroom.
