Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), the nation’s third-largest school district, remains steadfast in its commitment to delivering a world-class education to every student. Synergy 2025: The Coherence Effect is a powerful continuation of that commitment, serving as the district’s premier summer professional development conference for school leadership teams.

This year’s theme—The Coherence Effect—emphasizes the transformative impact of alignment across systems, strategies, and people. When leadership, instruction, and culture operate in harmony, the result is stronger outcomes for students and more empowered teams. Synergy 2025 offers school leaders the space to reflect, connect, and plan with purpose.

Participants will engage in overarching conference strands designed to build coherence and momentum for the 2025-2026 school year:

Strategic Planning – School-site leadership teams will develop the blueprint that will guide their academic and school culture priorities. Through rigorous data analysis and collaboration, teams will craft key components of their School Improvement Plan, including Areas of Focus, Targeted Elements, Evidence-Based Strategies, Action Steps, and Measurable Outcomes.

Content-Specific Workshops – Attendees will participate in high-quality professional development sessions across all core content areas, centered on instructional best practices, curriculum innovations, and effective pedagogical strategies.

Professional Learning – A broad menu of over 800 sessions will be offered by key district offices and partners, tailored to meet the unique learning needs of teacher leaders and administrators. These sessions support professional growth and align to district goals.

As we lean into coherence and collective action, Synergy 2025 will equip leaders with the tools and inspiration to lead with clarity, amplify impact, and shape a unified vision for success.
