Chess Curriculum Inventory

I ended my previous Chess in School post, 'Chess Curriculum No.6', saying,

Now that I have six different examples of a chess curriculum, it's time to compare them. That will be a separate exercise.

Following is an inventory of the documents identified in each of four previous posts, using the following structure:-

Title • Author • Number of pages • Filename

Chess Curriculum (26 April 2015)

No.1: ChessKid.com Curriculum - Welcome & Introduction • Daniel Rensch, Co-Director of Content and Professional Relations • 12 pages (Introduction.pdf) • ChessKid_Curriculum.zip (-> Directory:ChessKid_Curriculum -> 5 Subdirectories = 22 PDF documents)

No.2: Teaching Chess the Easy and Fun Way with Mini-Games • Kathy Price, Andre E. Zupans • 84 pages • Randolph-TeachingChesstheEasyFunWaywithMiniGames.pdf

No.3: Think Like A King - A Curriculum Guide for Scholastic Chess • David MacEnulty • 21 pages • school chess curriculum guide.pdf

Not mentioned in the original post:- Highland Park / PDF:-

Chess Curriculum No.6 (07 June 2015; ChessCafe / ChessEDU)

No.8: ChessEdu.org - White Belt Chess Curriculum • Mark C. Donlan • 208 pages • curriculum_wbv2.pdf

That makes four posts, seven (not six) resources, eight documents. What chess wisdom do the documents contain? I'll look at that in my next post.
