The
International Studies School at Garinger High School
in Charlotte, NC. The Center began working with ISS
in the Fall 2008 on curriculum planning as well as
teacher professional development on teaching methods to
engage and support diverse learners. Currently, the
Center has worked with ISS to create a Professional
Learning Community for teachers to explore issues of
need at the school.

During the
Fall 2008, the Center worked with students at the
International Studies School at Garinger to use digital
technologies to create a video expose about the school
titled, Garinger: Perception vs. Reality.
| We
got the idea for our exposé while studying Jacob
Riis. He was an investigative journalist also
known as a “muckraker”. His book “How the Other
Half Lives” takes a look into the lives of
immigrants who came to America. It gave people
insight into these people’s lives. After looking
at images from his book, our class decided to
make a video of our own to show the perceptions
and realities of life at Garinger High School
and the surrounding community. (From the video,
"Garinger: Perception vs. Reality." ) |
