The Discipline Committee held a penalty hearing for a teacher found to have committed professional misconduct by physically, verbally, and emotionally abusing Grade [XXX] students over several years.
The member did not attend the hearing.
The Committee ordered a reprimand, a six-month suspension of her teaching certificate, and terms requiring her to complete coursework in classroom management and anger management before returning to teaching.
The Committee also ordered the member to pay $12,000 in costs to the College due to her failure to participate in the proceedings, which necessitated a full hearing with multiple witnesses.
