Chess House
You don’t need a finished curriculum to start a chess club
The room gets loud when the chess boards come out, then it goes quiet, and nobody wants to stop when the bell rings. A handful of durable sets and a room after lunch is enough to begin. Chess House has equipped classrooms and after-school clubs for decades: club sets priced to outfit a whole room, roll-up demo boards so you can teach thirty students at once instead of crowding them around one table, student workbooks kids move through at their own pace, and small awards that are surprisingly good at getting students back the following week.

The Trauma Informed Academy
When students make mistakes, the goal isn’t punishment—it’s growth. Trauma-responsive teaching encourages reflection, accountability, and repair by helping students understand unmet needs and make things right. The same grace should extend to ourselves. When a lesson, reaction, or day doesn’t go as planned, pause, reflect, and repair instead of judging yourself. You don’t have to be perfect to make a lasting impact—your humanity is one of your greatest teaching tools. TR-EQ Core equips educators with repair-centered strategies that foster resilience and meaningful growth.
