Barbara Henriques
Coordinator for School Partnerships and Visiting
Assistant Professor of Educational Studies
At some point during
her career as an elementary school science teacher, Barbara
Henriques came to the conclusion that she would have a much
greater impact on the lives of students if she studied the most
effective ways for schools to operate and for teachers to teach.
Once she made up her mind to do just that, she began a journey
that has taken her from that classroom in Holyoke,
Massachusetts, to Yale Divinity School, to Bank Street College
of Education in New York City, back to Massachusetts to complete
advanced studies at UMass, to Skidmore College, across the globe
to Lithuania, and, finally, to Trinity College—where she arrived
in 2000.

What they’re reading…
Scott Reynolds
Secretary of the College
“My first clue
that Thomas Friedman’s The World is Flat was a book to take
seriously was the receipt of multiple copies for my birthday
this summer. I now have no copies, as I found the book so
on-the-mark that I have given all mine away as well as
urging many others to read it. In short, Friedman describes
how the Internet, collaborative horizontal business
practices, and the entry of Russia, India, and China into
the mix have converged to remove barriers to business
activity. Those who read his column regularly won’t be
surprised to find him critical of U.S. public policy and
thus our future as a country in this new, flat world. Those
who read his column will also find the clarity and
simplicity he brings to complex issues.” |
