Organised by Stockholms Schackförbund,“…to take school chess in Stockholm to a new level!” the ECU101 – The SMART Method to Teach Chess training course was delivered by Jesper Hall on 7-8 September 2024.
We are always happy to see when Federations are providing an in-person learning experience for chess educators to support them in improving their instructional skills and learn more about how to use chess as an educational tool.
26 educators participated in a dynamic experience with hands-on activities and further developed their skills to teach chess for educational purposes. They acquired the 🎓 ECU School Chess Teacher title from the European Chess Union.
