Course Goals

To ensure that students are properly trained as they work their way up the rating ladder. Chess becomes increasingly more difficult as you get better. Students will learn from the top coaches in the Southeast and have a competitive advantage over their peers.


Materials

Progression

Considerations for progression include but are not limited to: mastery of topics introduced, completion of homework, class participation and performance.


The CCC's custom leaderboard feature allows instructors to see the amount of effort students are putting in away from class. Instructors will also use the leaderboard tool as a way to monitor student progress.





Once the instructor believes the student is ready to progress, they will notify the parents and classes administrator.


Progress Reports

Parents receive a monthly progress report with key areas of growth and improvement.
