Teaching Chess in the 21st Century Strategies and Connenctions to a StandardsBased World edition by Todd Bardwick Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
I have been involved in teaching chess at the elementary school level for some years now in California.
Pros
1. It has the specialty of being directed at elementary school teachers for practical classroom use (this is the book for you if you are an elementary level teache),
2. It is written by an national master who has many years of teaching experience at a local level,
3. It is well organized,
Cons
1. It isn't comprehensive enough to be a stand alone book for a teacher. At least one additional beginning book for additional materials will be needed by a teacher who plans on running a program more than a couple of months,
2. It is inconsistant to have pictures directed at children (too small to show an entire class) when this is a book written for adults.
3. If you are not an elementary level teacher then this would not be the book for you as there are better books written for a student who is starting in chess.
To put it is a chess nut shell if you are an elementary level school teacher who wants to introduce chess to your class this book would be a fine addition to other instructional materials.
The genius of this book lies not in the material presented, but in how it is presented. The basics of chess are, after all, the basics of chess. They can be learned from any number of chess books targeted to chess novices. Where Bardwick's book shines is in his ability to wrap the most challenging concepts in delightful, kid-centric stories. For example, as someone who has run an after school K-8 chess club, I have struggled to make opening strategy lively for my students. Now I have a new tool at my disposal - Todd's absolutely original use of opening presents at Christmas time as a metpahor for developing the pieces! I also am delighted by the exemplars and class chess games/activities Bardwick presents. These are fresh, focused, and a lot of fun for the kids! The tips for chess teachers are excellent. Most chess teachers have to learn how to teach chess in the classroom by trial and error. This book will smooth out that process for you. Bardwick makes the wisdom he has gained through his own teaching experience yours for the taking. Finally, the illustrations are entertaining and the quotes at the beginning of each chapter are fantastic. Is there anything I would criticize? Sometimes a sentence or two runs on a bit. However, correcting this would be like flicking one last speck off a gleaming sports car. I would definitely recommend taking this book for a spin!
Any teacher would be pleased to have this book in his/her collection. Bardwick explains how to teach chess in a classroom setting, regardless of the instructor's skill as a player, and incorporate basic math skills into the program.
The first two thirds of the book is a complete curriculum for chess, beginning with the basics of piece movement, and going right through to moderately-advanced checkmate patterns.
Each lesson is planned out to make the teacher's job easier (of course, changes could be made to better fit the individual teacher or student), and there are plenty of illustrations and examples (one on nearly every page!).
The last part of the book outlines how chess works with the standard math course of public schools. An example of a second grade curriculum guide is provided (more than half of the requirements and suggestions are introduced or reinforced by chess!), but it could be used for anyone of any grade level.
Bardwick shows great skill at taking his own chess program and converting it to text, along with great stories and metaphors the children can understand, relate to, and enjoy.
This is certainly not the most in-depth look at chess strategy ever written. If that's what you're looking for, try another book (there are many, on many different topics, but I can only suggest those for more advanced students of chess). But if you're a teacher, parent, or coach looking for a good way to teach chess or math (or both), then this is the book for you.
From now on, this will be what I use to introduce children to the rules and strategies of chess, whenever the opportunity presents itself. I strongly suggest you do the same.
The only book you need to guide you in teaching chess to children.Clear, concise and simple. Plenty of examples presented to use in class.
Mr. Bardwick has the rare gift of truly understanding the mind of a chess beginner,so he can instruct the teacher in building
a solid foundation of the basics of chess. Within this framework
the student can then apply future learning and knowledge for his own benefit.
This is the best,surest,and quickest way for a student to advance his chess ability.
Lessons 5 and 7 are particularly helpful.
This is a superb manual then for the intergration of chess into the lessons of math and life.
Excellent!!!! This book helped me through teaching a two week course on chess for summer school. The kids were in grades 2-4. This serves as a help for the question, "What do I teach next?" and as a guide for curriculum. Nice nice nice! Definitely worth the purchase to improve your game. I learned a few things and I've been playing chess for 5 years. Excellent!
I used this book to teach chess to several classrooms of kids. The book makes chess easier for kids to understand the game and helped me explain the more difficult concepts to them. Now all the kids are addicted to chess!
