The member, a teacher, faced allegations of professional misconduct relating to inappropriate physical and emotional interactions with three students across different academic years.
The member pleaded no contest to the allegations, admitting to physically redirecting students, pushing a student's chair causing him to fall, and initiating an unauthorized one-on-one behaviour monitoring program that caused emotional distress.
The Discipline Committee found the member guilty of professional misconduct, including physical and emotional abuse, and failing to maintain professional standards.
Accepting a joint submission on penalty, the Committee ordered a reprimand, a four-month suspension of the member's teaching certificate, and mandatory coursework on classroom management and professional boundaries.
