Bagwell Partnership Spotlight

February 2026

Bagwell College of Education and the Rome City School District

The Bagwell College of Education is proud to renew its partnership with Rome City Schools to support educators pursuing advanced degrees. This collaboration is strategically designed to strengthen professional capacity across RCS while expanding meaningful, no-cost pathways to graduate education.

Aligned with the district’s strategic priorities, the program enhances educator effectiveness, builds instructional expertise, and stabilizes the district’s workforce. By leveraging local and statewide staffing data, RCS identified high-need disciplines to ensure the partnership directly addresses critical workforce gaps.

As a result, participating educators pursue master’s and specialists degrees in key areas such as Literacy Education, TESOL, Secondary & Middle Grades Education (SMGE), Curriculum & Instruction, Special Education, Teacher Leadership and Educational Leadership. Through this focused approach, the partnership drives measurable improvements in teacher retention, instructional quality, and long-term workforce sustainability while cultivating strong internal leadership pipelines.
