Bosch Jeroen, Giddins Steve. The Chess Instructor 2009: The New in Chess Compendium for Chess Teachers, Coaches and Parents

New In Chess, 2008. — 230 p. — ISBN: 978-90-5691-247-5.The popularity of chess is no accident, as learning chess means improving basic skills (analysis, decision making, strategic thinking, stamina, and dealing with stress) while interacting meaningfully with other pupils. But how do you teach chess, what material do you use, is there a particularly successful method, how do you sell a chess curriculum, how do you motivate your pupils and monitor their progress? This compendium is for chess training at all levels, raises topics for discussion, and gets chess teachers at local schools to learn from top coaches, as well as the other way around. With ready-to-use teaching exercises.
