The Member, a short-term occasional teacher, pled no contest to allegations of professional misconduct relating to several incidents of inadequate student supervision and poor classroom management.
The incidents included leaving young students unsupervised, delaying students' departure causing them to miss their bus, losing track of a student, and yelling at a student in front of peers.
The Discipline Committee found the Member guilty of professional misconduct, including failing to maintain professional standards, psychological abuse, and failing to adequately supervise students.
The Committee accepted a joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, a three-month suspension of the Member's certificate, and the completion of a classroom management course before returning to teaching.
