The Ontario College of Teachers brought disciplinary proceedings against a member for multiple incidents of professional misconduct during the 2017-2018 academic year.

The member failed to participate in a compulsory performance appraisal, frequently reported late or not at all for duties, failed to submit lesson plans, and assigned grades without adequate evaluation.

Additionally, the member verbally and psychologically abused a student by refusing to help her and yelling at her.

The Discipline Committee found the allegations proven on a balance of probabilities and concluded that the member was guilty of professional misconduct, including failing to maintain the standards of the profession, abusing a student, and engaging in disgraceful, dishonourable, and unprofessional conduct.
