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.”
The College began its
first academic year on September 23, 1824, with a total
student body of 9. By comparison, the Class of 2009 arrived
with 575 students.
