A Manitoba teacher was disciplined after admitting to professional misconduct involving a nine-year-old student with higher needs, amongst other previous offences.
A Manitoba teacher has admitted to professional misconduct following a classroom incident involving young students, with the case now posted to the province’s public teacher registry, introduced last year.
Jason Schneider, who has been a licensed teacher since 1996, was disciplined after an investigation was conducted into an incident in his Grade 3/4 split class in April 2025, according to an agreement released by Manitoba’s Commissioner of Teacher Professional Conduct.
The incident involved a nine-year-old student who required additional learning and behavioural support, which the teacher was aware of at the time, according to the agreed statement of facts.
On April 29, 2025, the student, became upset after being eliminated early from a classroom game and started crying.
When the student laid on the floor waving their arms, Schneider mimicked the student’s behaviour, gestures and expressions, according to the document.
Other students followed the teacher’s lead until an educational assistant intervened and told them to stop.
The investigation began after the Louis Riel School Division reported Schneider to the commissioner on May 12, 2025.
The agreement also outlines comments Schneider made to other students that day.
