The Ontario College of Teachers brought a discipline proceeding against a member following three consecutive unsatisfactory Teacher Performance Appraisals (TPAs).

The Discipline Committee found that the member failed to maintain the standards of the profession, failed to comply with the Education Act, and engaged in dishonourable and unprofessional conduct.

The member consistently failed to provide appropriate lesson plans, differentiate instruction, manage classroom behaviour, and accurately assess students.

The Committee also found the member to be incompetent, as her ongoing lack of knowledge, skill, and judgment demonstrated she was unfit to continue carrying out her professional responsibilities.
