Dade College’s (MDC) Kendall Campus, 11011 S.W. 104th St., Miami,

More than 1,000 sessions with more than 250

action plans as they prepare to address Florida Standards. During Synergy 2022,
expert educators will provide innovative workshops and courses that will offer
tools, resources and expert panels coupled with timely and relevant content. There
is an expected attendance of more than 2,300 participants.
For the third consecutive year, The
Parent Academy will launch a series of virtual educational sessions to prepare
