The Ontario College of Teachers brought a motion to withdraw allegations of professional misconduct and incompetence against the member.

The College provided evidence that the member had passed away prior to the hearing.

The Discipline Committee granted the motion and authorized the withdrawal of the allegations.

The Ontario College of Teachers brought a motion seeking leave to withdraw allegations of professional misconduct and incompetence against the Member.

The allegations were originally based on three unsatisfactory Teacher Performance Appraisals.

Since the Notice of Hearing, the Member completed four relevant courses and received two positive appraisals in her role as a Special Education Resource teacher.

The Member consented to the withdrawal.

The Discipline Committee granted the motion and authorized the withdrawal of the allegations.

The Member pleaded guilty to professional misconduct for failing to complete remedial courses on classroom management and professional boundaries within the time limit imposed by a 2006 Discipline Committee decision.

The Committee accepted the guilty plea and found the Member guilty.

While the Committee largely accepted the joint submission on penalty, it rejected the proposed reprimand and ordered publication without the Member's name, noting the Member was unrepresented, had no intention to return to teaching, and the breach was not intentional.

The Member's certificate was suspended for three months and he must complete the courses before returning to teaching.

The member, a teacher, pleaded guilty to professional misconduct allegations before the Discipline Committee of the Ontario College of Teachers.

The allegations stemmed from her criminal conviction for accepting a $30,000 secret commission while employed by a school board.

The Committee accepted the guilty plea, finding that the member's actions constituted disgraceful, dishonourable, and unprofessional conduct.

The Committee ordered the revocation of the member's certificate of qualification and registration, emphasizing the need to protect the public interest and maintain the reputation of the teaching profession.

The Ontario College of Teachers brought a discipline proceeding against a member for engaging in a heated exchange with a student in a school hallway, which included yelling and swearing in the presence of others.

The member pleaded no contest to the allegations.

The Discipline Committee found the member guilty of professional misconduct for failing to maintain the standards of the profession and verbally abusing a student.

The Committee ordered a reprimand to be recorded on the register and publication of the decision in summary form without the member's name.

The member pleaded no contest to allegations of professional misconduct, including failing to report a student's disclosure of physical abuse at home, physically disciplining students on four occasions, and leaving students unsupervised.

The Discipline Committee accepted the joint submission on penalty, ordering a reprimand, completion of courses on positive discipline and classroom management, an Additional Basic Qualifications course, a review of reporting requirements with a union representative, and publication of the decision without the member's name.
