The Ontario College of Teachers brought professional misconduct charges against a member alleging physical, sexual, verbal, psychological, or emotional abuse of a student and failure to maintain professional standards.
At the hearing, the parties presented a settlement agreement wherein all charges would be withdrawn, the member would receive a verbal reminder of professional responsibilities, complete a course on teacher-student boundaries, and undergo a psychological assessment.
The Discipline Committee approved the agreement, issued the verbal reminder, and ordered a publication ban on the member's name in the College's official publication.
