Bagwell Partnership Spotlight

January 2026

The Department of Inclusive Education and Rome City Schools

The Inclusive Education Department (INED) is partnering with Rome City Schools to support the district in addressing student behavior challenges. This work is part of a broader collaboration between Rome City Schools and the Bagwell College of Education.

As part of this partnership, the Inclusive Education Department (INED) recently delivered a one-day professional development experience titled Cracking the Code: The Science Behind Student Behavior. The program served both elementary and secondary educators, with a morning session designed for PK–5 teachers and an afternoon session for grades 6–12, reaching approximately 400 participants.

Sessions engaged educators in examining their school discipline data, participating in interactive learning around effective classroom management, and exploring Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) strategies to reduce burnout while addressing challenging student behaviors. Participants provided positive feedback and expressed strong interest in continued support. This professional development represents one component of an ongoing collaboration focused on strengthening support for Rome City Schools’ teachers and students.
