Miami Dade College (MDC) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Pace Center for Girls (Pace), a nationally recognized organization dedicated to empowering girls and young women and preparing them for a brighter future. The signing ceremony took place at the MDC Padrón Campus.
The partnership will provide a proactive solution to the teacher shortage affecting the nation by creating a direct pipeline from MDC’s School of Education to teaching positions at Pace Center for Girls’ 21 centers, ensuring a steady flow of well-prepared educators across Florida. College-level credit courses also will be available for certificate renewal or academic endorsement, reflected on official transcripts.
Pace is recognized as one of the nation’s leading advocates for girls and has an evidence-based program model that has changed the life trajectory of more than 40,000 girls with a high number of risk factors and adverse childhood experiences across 25 communities in Florida, Georgia and South Carolina.
In addition to the Pace team now having access to endorsement courses and courses aligned with state requirements for certification, this MOU will allow for a collaboration between MDC and Pace to co-create courses on how to best support students who have experienced trauma. This ensures that teacher candidates are well-prepared to support diverse student populations. Today’s youth face unprecedented levels of stress and trauma, making it essential for educators to be trained in trauma-informed and trauma-responsive practices.
