About Us
Our Founder's Story
Founded in 2019 by Dr. LaTwyne Wise, Wise Advantage was created to bridge the gap between traditional teacher preparation and the realities of today’s classrooms.
Dr. Wise is an education leader with over 20 years of experience in teacher development and program design. Having worked in every classroom setting from general education to the most restrictive environments for students with behavioral challenges, Dr. Wise has not only researched the unique needs of teachers but has built actionable frameworks that directly address those needs, empowering educators to succeed in diverse and demanding classrooms. She recognized that new teachers often struggle not due to a lack of investment but because they have not been equipped with the practical and adaptable approaches needed to cultivate and sustain effective learning environments.
At Wise Advantage, we believe great teaching begins with empowered educators. Our mission is to provide early career teachers with the knowledge, guidance, and hands-on application necessary to confidently manage their classrooms, engage students, and navigate the complexities of teaching.
By partnering with schools, districts, and universities, we create lasting impact, helping teachers remain in the profession, strengthening student outcomes, and fostering a positive school culture.
Our Core Beliefs
At the heart of our work is the belief in the transformative power of education, not just for students, but for the teachers who guide them. We operate by the mantra: “Before it can happen for students, it must first happen for teachers” (Linda Darling-Hammond). Rooted in equity, growth, and excellence, we are committed to empowering educators and leaders. By investing in their development, I create lasting, meaningful change that strengthens entire school communities and ensures every child’s success.
- Support Teachers, Strengthen Students – Teacher success drives student success. When we invest in educators and equip them with the right support and tools, we create a foundation for excellence that strengthens the entire school community..
- Respect the Whole Child – Every student deserves dignity, respect, and care. By seeing them as individuals, we create an environment where they feel safe, valued, and ready to grow.
- Lead by Growing – Great leadership and teaching come from continuous learning. Embracing growth and change inspires others to do the same, fostering a culture of collaboration and excellence.
Our Approach
Our approach is built on empowering teachers to fully grasp their role, maximize their influence, and take control of the key variables that shape their classroom environment. Whether through a focused workshop, a series of trainings, or ongoing consultation with follow-up coaching, we provide a flexible, structured pathway that aligns with the unique needs of your team. For more in-depth engagements, we begin with a comprehensive audit to assess current strengths and resources, identifying opportunities for optimization. Using a responsive framework, we implement tailored supports that build capacity in key areas, ensuring sustainable growth and impactful results.
