KEYNOTE: Shaping Our Shared Future, One Student at a Time

Emily McCarren (Punahou School)

This keynote will focus on the evolution taking place in education and the critical role that our work as world language and culture educators will play in the years to come. As language and culture educators we have devoted our lives to development of essential global competencies in our students and have concrete ideas about our shared future on this island earth. This session will call us to collective action to not just participate in the coming wave of proficiency or mastery based learning, but to be prepared to lead our colleagues from other disciplines in support of creating the schools that our children, and our global communities, so desperately need.

This session will be an interactive discussion about how language educators can and should take on leadership in and beyond our classrooms and our organizations. Come ready to hear and share about our aspirations for leadership (realized and yet unrealized) and strengthen our supportive community of leaders.
