She founded the Knowledge Building Community - Singapore and has led the local and international Knowledge Building Community Network Learning (KBC-NL) series since 2016. Each Network Learning bring together teachers and researchers to explore germane issues on 21st century competencies and pedagogies. These network learning sessions have reached out to more than 1000 teachers and researchers (https://nie.edu.sg/about-us/news-events/news/news-detail/knowledge-building-session-a-living-theory-a-growing-classroom). Starting in Nov 2019, a new research and practice platform, the student Knowledge Building Design Studio (sKBDS) was created. The sKBDS embraced an experiential learning model in which students of different age and from different schools were brought into NIE campus to innovate and co-produce knowledge on sustainability issue. The event was moved online due to COVID-19 restriction in 2020 and 2021. We have since gathered about 200 students and teachers in these design studios to work on the theme of “Saving Lives, Saving Planet”.
