Free Chess Curriculum For Parents And Coaches

Chess would be great for my kids, but where do I start?

  • I'd love to help start a chess program at my school, but I'm a math/science/English teacher and I know nothing about teaching chess.
  • I run a homeschool program with limited resources -- so what's out there to help me teach kids chess?
  • I'm a decent chess player and I love Chess.com -- but I know nothing about teaching chess to kids!
  • I'm a coach looking for more resources to boost my already-established chess program -- but most materials cost me an arm and a leg, isn't there anything for free!?

Any of those sound like you?
