SLE Reflection
For my Senior Learning Experience I chose to create a video, volunteer, and speak at a
conference. I created a video about Garinger students’ experience with school segregation. I
introduced the video with a brief history of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools’ segregated past and
how they have attempted to fix this. I then spoke to a few students from Garinger about how they
feel about attending a school with a majority of beginner teachers, what they think should be
done to fix the school segregation issue, and what they would like to say to the Board of
Education. I was happy to learn that other students felt the same way that I did about this issue. I
also enjoyed listening to how other students feel Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools should tackle
this problem. The students I talked to had great responses and really showed some of Garinger’s
excellence. I uploaded the video to YouTube, shared it to my Instagram story, and I also asked a
classmate to post it onto The Garinger Rambler’s website. I shared my video on different
platforms to try to reach as many people as I could. By creating this video I was hoping to bring
awareness to an issue that is affecting many students’ lives daily. Aside from the video I created,
I also spoke at professional development and networking conference hosted by Teach For
America called NetSum. This NetSum was about education equity. A few people from the
Leadership Development class at Garinger and Ms. Imhoff spoke at the conference and then
hosted our own class about what the Leadership class at Garinger is doing to create a more
positive school environment and what we are doing to bring more awareness to the inequity in
learning experience. On February 9, 2019, I, along with other people from the Leadership class
and other Garinger students came to school to renovate an empty green area we had in the
school. This area is now called “The Block”. We created small pieces of art, dug out areas to
create the outdoor classroom, planted trees and other plants, and built small chairs and benches.
So far, more and more students are using this area. Teachers are also using the outdoor classroom
