The Ontario College of Teachers brought discipline proceedings against a member for professional misconduct and incompetence, alleging failures in lesson planning, student supervision, record keeping, and maintaining professional boundaries.
The member did not attend the hearing but submitted a plea of no contest and an agreed statement of facts, admitting to two unsatisfactory performance appraisals.
The Discipline Committee accepted the plea, finding the member guilty of professional misconduct and incompetence.
Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Committee ordered terms and conditions on the member's certificate, requiring her to complete courses in French language instruction and classroom management, and to provide two consecutive satisfactory performance appraisals upon returning to teaching.
