“We must encourage students to ask questions about the world around them and to think critically about what is presented in a lesson.”
Eman Abbas joined Poly in 2020. As a child, the Middle and Upper School science teacher was always interested in science and loved how each class she took made her think more deeply about the world around her. “I was blessed with teachers who loved their work and made their students as deeply immersed as possible through experiments, field trips, and in-class demonstrations,” she says. “Their dedication was very inspiring to me, because even the more difficult topics became seen as a fun challenge to overcome.” In college, Eman tutored high school students in biology and chemistry. After earning a bachelor’s degree in human biology and beginning to teach full time, she started work on her master’s in adolescence education in biology. When not teaching, Eman is very interested in landscape photography.
