First Move teachers are the cornerstone of the program, and are not required to know how to play chess to facilitate First Move. We provide training and mentoring to ensure teachers can easily implement the program.
"The Chess Lady" teaches the lessons on a simple step-by-step DVD. The teacher facilitates and has fun learning along with the kids. Each lesson is taught in manageable segments with activities to help reinforce the concepts.
The First Move chess curriculum is a perfect way for teachers to learn chess alongside their students.
