Her leadership extended beyond the classroom, shaping cross-disciplinary learning frameworks that prepare students to thrive in an uncertain, rapidly evolving world.

She believes that by cultivating creative thinking, critical inquiry, and adaptability, educators can better prepare students for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

Testamonial:
- Tammy K. (student)
I love the way how Ms Chan allow us to think on the grass, or in the playground. It's more like relaxing but it really does help me come up new ideas.

I didn't even know I was good at art. I am really glad she got me to really try experimenting all the time
- Lucy M. (student)
I love hearing about her travel stories and having a huge map in our classroom. I think this really helps open conversations about other practices people do in other parts of the world.
