Ask anyone what the goals of an after-school program should be, and you'll likely hear two recurring trends: to support learning and to help students participate in the school community. We at Woodland Middle School strive to create opportunities for our students to connect with each other, building a dynamic school community that encourages growth both socially as well as academically. As a school with a diverse population, we have kids with a plethora of different interests. For these reasons, the Woodland Warriors Chess Club is coming into existence, providing students the opportunity to meet, learn, and grow in a supportive environment. Chess has often been linked to high academic performance, and young learners who play chess gain valuable skills in critical thinking and analysis. They learn to plan strategies and adapt to new circumstances, while gaining confidence in their own abilities. Students who struggle with staying on-task in the classroom gain valuable practice maintaining focus in a stress-free environment. This results in better performance on challenging tasks. Chess players learn to take the long view of a task, applying their planning skills to simplify their objectives. They also find fellowship in a peer group and build connections to the school itself, creating a better overall school environment.
