SMHS Heroes in Education
Trinette Carruthers, Ed.D. '00

Trinette is a Universal Literacy Coach for the New York City Department of Education. Last year, she and others from the DOE partnered with WNET/Channel 13 to bring daily instruction to children ages 3 to 8 via WNET/ Channel 13 and PBS.org due to the pandemic. The goal of this partnership is to provide instruction to those students who were falling behind each day academically because they either didn't have a device or adequate internet connection to access instruction remotely. Last year, Trinette and her colleagues only aired in New York, but this year, new episodes will air nationwide. This daily program will help the country's youngest learners until things return to normal.
