Bachelor of Science in Zoology, North Carolina State University
Michael Whitley
I am excited about a new year at Clayton Middle School! I grew up running around barefoot in the muddy creeks of New Bern fishing, crabbing, and swimming. After high school, I came to N.C. State to study Zoology. After graduating I moved to the Colorado mountains where I worked managing a small optical lab, where I made and sold eyeglasses. I eventually bacame homesick and returned to North Carolina. Inspired by a thrilling high school class called Coastal Biology, I decided to become a teacher. I began teacher training at NC State while working in the classroom as a lateral entry teacher. Over the years I have had the privilage to have been trained in STEM and International Baccalaureate pedagogy. I strive to bring a rich, challenging, and exiting experience to all of my students in the classroom. When not teaching, I enjoy gardening, reading, fishing, sailing, and watching N.C. State athletics.
