New Teacher Workshops 2020

August 6, 2020 / Brendan / Uncategorized

For teachers interested in using chess for it’s associated academic benefits there are two new courses available this year:

The first course, Chess 4 Fun, is for teachers who are new to chess. The focus is on playing mini-games. The games are easy enough for senior infants to play.

The second course, Our school chess club, is for teachers with some chess knowledge who want to give their students the ability to improve their playing skills, organise chess club activities and have a school chess team.

Thanks to our sponsors everyone participating in these programs will be given their own personal chess set. And your school will also get Chessossity.com free.

Contact your local Education Centre or email us at mfl@movesforlife.ie to register.
