My name is Tiffany Hill, a wife and mother of three, and a dedicated volunteer in our local schools for the past 14 years. I’ve worked closely with teachers, parents, and students, advocating for improvements such as a new playground at Lakeview Elementary and advancing LCI on the modernization list to better support inclusion needs.
With a father who taught for 37 years and personal experience raising a daughter with diverse learning needs, I understand the challenges teachers face and the importance of strong classroom support. My platform focuses on supporting students, strengthening classrooms, and shaping communities to ensure every child can thrive.
Statement of beliefs
I believe that education works best when students are at the center of every decision. As a lifelong resident, wife, and mother of three, I have spent the past 14 years volunteering in our schools, working alongside teachers, parents, and administrators to make a positive impact on students’ learning and well-being.
I strongly support teachers and the work they do every day, and I believe that classrooms should be strengthened by ensuring resources reach students and educators where they matter most. Education should focus on core competencies — literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking — while creating safe, caring, and accountable learning environments.
I also believe that parents have an important voice in their children’s education, and that schools and communities thrive when families and educators work together. My goal as a trustee would be to support both students and teachers, put learners first, and ensure every child has the opportunity to succeed.
Priority areas
Support teachers with frontline resources for classroom complexity and learning.
Advocate for new & modernized school spaces to reduce class sizes & meet accessibility challenges.
Ensure teachers have proper support, including EAs, and resources for current and new curricula.
Views on funding
I believe Alberta’s education system needs additional funding to ensure all students have access to high-quality learning opportunities. While I am encouraged that we are starting to move in the right direction, there is still progress to be made to fully meet the needs of our growing and diverse student population.
School boards play a critical role in ensuring that funding is used effectively. They are designed to listen to local communities, parents, and educators so that dollars are directed to the areas where they will have the greatest impact — supporting teachers, strengthening classrooms, and benefiting students directly. It’s important that funding decisions are transparent, accountable, and focused on maximizing learning outcomes while minimizing waste.
How learning conditions can be improved
Learning conditions in schools can be improved by ensuring classrooms are well-resourced, safe, and supportive for both students and teachers. This includes providing adequate teaching staff, educational assistants, and up-to-date learning materials, as well as maintaining manageable class sizes.
It’s also essential to support teachers with professional development and practical tools to manage classroom complexity, including diverse learning needs. By engaging parents, educators, and the community in decision-making, school boards can target resources effectively, strengthen classroom environments, and ensure every student has the opportunity to succeed.
How trustees and school boards can best support teachers
The best way trustees and school boards can support teachers is by listening to them. Teachers are in the classroom every day, managing diverse learning needs, classroom complexity, and curriculum demands, and they have firsthand knowledge of what works and what challenges exist. Trustees need to engage with teachers regularly, seek their input on policy and resource decisions, and understand the realities of day-to-day teaching.
Over the past 14 years volunteering on parent councils, I’ve seen the value of truly hearing educators’ perspectives. When teachers are listened to and supported, whether through appropriate classroom resources, access to educational assistants, professional development, or practical tools for new curricula, they can focus on what matters most: helping students learn and thrive. Supporting teachers in this way strengthens classrooms, empowers students, and ensures that education policies are effective and realistic.
Views on the new K-6 curriculum
I believe that regularly updating our curriculum is important to ensure students are learning the skills and knowledge they need in a fast-paced, ever-changing world. However, the implementation of the new K–6 curriculum was not handled as well as it could have been. Many teachers were left with little to no resource support, which made it challenging to deliver the curriculum effectively in the classroom.
I strongly believe that teachers — the professionals working directly with students every day — need to be meaningfully involved in curriculum development. Their input ensures that changes are practical, age-appropriate, and fully supported, so that students receive the best possible education.
