Herron's Happenings
I am innovation coach, Kimberly Herron. I believe in engaging students and teachers at all levels to develop thinking skills that lead them to problem-solve, create, and communicate their ideas in ways that drive them to new levels preparing them for their life encounters of today and their tomorrow. As they lead me in their explorations I open my door to their opportunities. I am responsible for setting the scene for learning that will stimulate students and teachers to persevere as they proceed in their educational journey.
