CHESS IN EDUCATION – US
CONNECTING CHESS TO THE CLASSROOM
Announcement
Chess in Schools is now Chess in Education – US.
Same Dream, Same team, Bigger theme!
Welcome to the Chess in Education – US website.
–> 
Our name change better reflects its mission of connecting chess to education in all its forms. Not all education takes place within the traditional K-12 school setting. Chess in Education – US continues its mission of helping school systems develop programming that allows teachers to use the game as an educational tool – introducing academic and 21st century skills. But chess can also serve as the vehicle to deliver skills for those in the juvenile system or in prison.
Chess in Education – US provides the expertise needed to develop scalable programs that help students of any age be successful in the classroom and in life. With the experience of two state-wide projects in partnership with state departments of education, we look forward to the next opportunity to make a difference.

Confronting a Post-Pandemic School Year: 2022-23
School systems across the country are confronting a post-pandemic learning environment. Educators are examining new funding sources for programming tc deal with issues like learning loss and resilience.
We at Chess in Education – US believe that chess and chess-related activities provide a problem-solving environment spurring the development of logical thinking, promoting self-directed learning, and addressing many aspects of social-emotional learning. Our clients have used Federal funding from ESSER, and Title I, grants to fund multi-school Chess in Education programs. ESSA Title IV grants have also been recommended as suitable funding sources for our CIE programs. Many schools simply use professional development budgets to train to obtain Chess in Education certification for their teachers. [Teachers rave about our PD! Ask us!]
Because of the varying funding criteria, options and limitations, Chess in Schools understands the need to offer a customizable approach to its course offerings. Contact jerry@chessineducation.us to discuss the kind of high-quality training and resources you need to offer students an engaging chess program that builds crucial academic and 21st century skills.
