Nazia Hiscock
Personal Information
My name is Nazia Hiscock, I am the returning Principal at Timberlea Public School. I've been a proud resident of Fort McMurray since 2010 and am happy to call this beautiful city home. My passions lie within outdoor education, sports, and environmentalism. I'm excited to join the established Timberlea Timberwolves! Building rapport with the students, motivating them to excel, and achieving their personal best will be my goals for this year. I have two beautiful children, a 11-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.
Educational Background
In 2010, I completed my Bachelors in Environmental Politics from York University in Toronto, Ontario. Concurrently, I also received my Bachelor's in Education from York University in Secondary Education, with a Double Major in Geography and a Minor in Canadian History.
Between 2016 - 2018, I enrolled in the cohort, hybrid in-person and online Masters in Education from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta.
In 2021 - 2022, I returned to the University of Alberta to complete my Graduate Certificate in School Leadership, including Alberta Education's Leadership Quality Standard Principal Certification in December 2021.
In July 2021, I also attended the College of Alberta School Superintendent's Start Right Program. The Start Right course is designed to bring participants together as a leadership learning community.
In April 2022, I attended the Alberta Teachers' Association Council of School Leadership's uLEAD convention in Banff, Alberta. uLEAD is a three-day conversation on leadership that will allow delegates to see various models of innovative leadership and discuss the direction we should be moving in as school leaders and systems in our age.
In November 2023, I enjoyed the Alberta Teacher's Association's Leadership Essentials Conference in Edmonton, Alberta. The focus of Leadership Essentials is to assist new leaders with their role by providing them with programs and supports that will help them be successful.
