Keynote Speakers
Emily Key
Director of English Learner Programs
Language and Cultural Equity, Albuquerque Public Schools
Emily Key is from Albuquerque, New Mexico. Working with English Learners has instilled a relentless passion and dedicated focus for equity in everything she does. She has seen students who come from incomprehensible adversity achieve amazing feats that have humbled her and aided in her own personal growth. Her goal is to increase access to personal and academic success for students with diverse cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds and not only eliminate barriers in every possible capacity. While also working toward a future in education where our marginalized students no longer need resilience and perseverance within our education systems to achieve. A future where our academic institutions honor indigenous knowledge
and amplify diverse voices. She wants all students to have the opportunity to be the analytical, observant, and curious leaders in society that we so desperately need, in a multitude of fields. She has taught 1st through 5th grade. She obtained her master’s degree in Educational Leadership from NMHU and hopes to continue her educational journey in the near future as she considers herself a lifelong learner. She is enjoying pioneering new paths for ELs in APS as the Director of English Learner programs.
