Dr. Jessica Wise

Dr. Jessica Wise began her educational career in Gwinnett County, Georgia, as an elementary school teacher. After seven years of teaching fourth grade, she transitioned into the role of an intervention teacher and instructional coach, where she found her true passion in education.

Becoming a school-based instructional coach opened new possibilities for how to support education. After serving her school for two years as a coach, she joined the Curriculum & Instruction department where she served as a Literacy Instructional Specialist, and then a Leadership & Staff Development Instructional Coach. Jessica’s true passion exists in the learning spaces where adults can explore instructional coaching and facilitation that prioritizes people and energizes educators.

Jessica received her doctoral degree in School Improvement from the University of West Georgia where her focus was facilitation of adult learning.

When not working, Jessica enjoys hiking, movie night with her family, and working on DIY projects around the house.
