Brenda Flynn

Flynn’s innovative teaching idea, “Dashing to Higher Achievement,” focuses on providing the necessary materials to develop opportunities for the students of Jefferson Elementary School to grow in the 4Cs (critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity). Students involved in the program will demonstrate growth in the areas of coding, project planning, problem-solving, as well as team building and social skills development. These skills will be taught using the guidance of Dash & Dot robots from Wonder Workshop, providing a cross-curriculum learning environment for the students. Through the use of new and advanced technology along with participation in group activities, students will have an opportunity to develop skills that will make them better leaders and more effective communicators as well as provide proficiencies in time management and project planning.
