During the Chess Coach Certification Class
More than 60 teachers and coaches signed up for this SPF Chess Coach Certification Course. Each participant received a Susan Polgar Chess Kit which includes: a chess set, chess board, demo board, animated DVD, coaching course curriculum, digital chess clock, other gifts, chess bracelets, chess post cards, etc.
In addition to the official course certificate, each teacher also receives official credits! We are working hard to put chess as part of the curriculum in every school in Brownsville. We are also working to do the same for the entire state of Texas. I would like to thank Dr. Cantu, Dr. Z and Mr. Hammons for their full support for this wonderful project!
