The Bagwell College of Education at Kennesaw State University ranks among the nation's
top universities for educator preparation and workforce development, forging strategic
partnerships and embracing innovation. Our collaborative and inclusive culture empowers
students, faculty, and staff to thrive by fostering resilience, building confidence,
and nurturing a commitment to lifelong learning that addresses the diverse needs of
ALL learners. At Bagwell, we go beyond preparing educators; we develop visionary leaders
who elevate the profession and inspire lasting, transformative change in education.
We are proud to shine a spotlight on Barber Middle School, Principal Amlett, and the
dedicated team of Collaborating Teachers for their outstanding partnership and commitment
to preparing the next generation of educators.
Barber Middle School graciously welcomed 18 Bagwell students for field observations,
providing them with meaningful opportunities to experience the classroom, learn from
experienced educators, and connect their university coursework to an authentic school
setting.
Under the leadership of Principal Amlett, Barber Middle School creates a welcoming and supportive environment where our students feel valued from the moment they arrive. The school’s Collaborating Teachers go above and beyond to welcome, mentor, encourage, and guide our students, helping them build confidence and develop the skills necessary for success in the teaching profession.
We are incredibly grateful for the time, expertise, and care that Principal Amlett
and the Collaborating Teachers invest in our Bagwell students. Their partnership exemplifies
what is possible when schools and universities work together to prepare educators
who are ready to make a difference on Day One.
Thank you, Barber Middle School, for opening your doors, sharing your expertise, and
investing in the future of education!
