Dr. Lindsey Wise was named the new Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning during the October 17 Board Meeting. Dr. Faviola Cantú, Chief Academic Officer, shared, “Dr. Wise is dedicated to the students and staff of Aldine ISD. Her involvement, support, and communication of our many innovative programs and district achievements have been invaluable. Dr. Wise has a proven track record of excellence. She has supported student and teacher growth at the building and district levels. Lindsey will provide key leadership to ensure success for our teachers and students as we continue building on program changes and enhancing teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes. I look forward to her continued leadership and collaboration on our administrative team.”

Wise will join the district’s Executive Leadership Team and transition over the next couple of weeks from her current position as director of learning recovery tutoring and student initiatives, a role she began in 2022 in the Schools Office. In her new capacity, she will be responsible for providing guidance, supporting staff, and implementing initiatives that will align with meeting Aldine ISD’s overall strategic vision, mission, goals, and objectives.

​​Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney believes Wise’s background in curriculum implementation, working with diverse student backgrounds, and passion for student learning made her the top choice.

“I am excited for what the future holds for our district with the addition of Lindsey to our Executive Leadership team. Lindsey’s passion for the district is endless, and I look forward to the partnership and teamwork she will bring to the position to help continue making Aldine a district of choice.”

She has 16 years of experience in education, 15 of those years in Aldine ISD. Leading up to her role as assistant superintendent, Wise brings an extensive background in education. As director of learning recovery tutoring and student initiatives, Wise supported 16 high school campuses (Grades 9-12) with approximately 18,000 students. Wise collaborated with secondary core content program directors to support all high school campuses in their academic needs, developed data analysis protocols while providing coaching through an action planning process. Based on her efforts, the preliminary data for 2023 shows growth in all STAAR end-of-course (EOC) areas of supported campuses.

Wise began as a middle school math teacher in 2007 in Bryan ISD before joining Aldine ISD in 2008 as a math teacher/math leader at Stovall Middle School. Five years later, she moved to Parker Intermediate (now the Aldine Young Women’s Leadership Academy) as a mathematics skills specialist. In 2014, she joined Teague Middle School as an assistant principal of administration before advancing three years later to serve as an AP of administration at Aldine High School. Three years later, she was named to serve as an AP of curriculum and instruction at the same campus, a position she held before being named to her most recent role.

A graduate of Texas A&M University with a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies in math and science, Wise also holds a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction from the same university. Wise completed her doctoral studies at the University of Houston in 2017 by earning her doctorate in professional leadership. She also holds several certifications, including English as a second language (ESL), and completed the superintendent certificate program.

Wise grew up in the Aldine area, attending Magrill Elementary, Parker Intermediate, Teague Middle, and Nimitz Ninth. She graduated from Nimitz High School. The Nimitz alum can often be seen at the school’s football games. Wise is excited about her new role in AISD.

“Throughout my years at Aldine ISD, I have been honored to serve this community’s students, staff, and parents,” said Wise. “This really is #MyAldine. My experiences will support the district while working to secure learning pathways. The district’s teachers and administrators are doing amazing work to make a difference for kids. I look forward to supporting the district in this new role.”

With a passion for quality time, Wise enjoys spending time with her family and watching college football.
