Join Claire Thompson as she sits with Eleanor Whitsett, a first-year 8th grade science teacher and talks about her journey and school life! This podcast talks about struggles that come with being a first-year teacher, leading students, classroom management, balancing a work and social life, and much more! Eleanor Whitsett is a recent 2022 graduate of North Carolina State University where she spent time student teaching in the Raleigh area, was an active member of her sorority, Alpha Delta Pi, and studied Science Education with a concentration in Middle Grades.
