The Ontario College of Teachers brought a discipline proceeding against a member for professional misconduct, alleging verbal, physical, and psychological abuse of students.
The member pleaded no contest to the allegations, which included making racist, demeaning, and inappropriate comments to students, as well as inappropriate physical contact.
The Discipline Committee found the member guilty of professional misconduct.
The member resigned from the College and undertook never to teach again.
The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand and an 8-month suspension of the member's certificate of qualification and registration.
