A Clydebank teacher is facing several allegations, including "grabbing and pushing" a pupil and being homophobic.
The class teacher, who has not been named, has been called in front of a hearing by the General Teaching Council over allegations of his conduct.
The hearing, which is set to take place over eight days, will look at allegations made over a five-year period.
In April 2017, it is alleged that the teacher, whilst at a school in Clydebank, had "inappropriate physical contact" with a pupil by grabbing and pushing them in an aggressive manner, causing them distress.
Between 2021 and 2022, a total of four more allegations were made at an undisclosed school.
In May 2021, it is alleged that the teacher modified and changed a pupil's Graphic Communication Scottish Qualification Authority assessment paper answers without the consent of the pupil.
Following this, on unspecified dates between August and December 2021, the teacher is alleged to have attempted to intimidate the pupil after her reporting of the incident by entering classrooms where "he knew where she would be" after being "told repeatedly not to approach her."

In January 2022, whilst teaching a Mental Health and Wellbeing Class, it is reported that the teacher said to the class, "It’s Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve" or words to that effect.
Additionally, he is claimed to have said "If you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime" or words to that effect, in relation to abortion.
In the same month, he is alleged to have behaved in an angry and aggressive manner towards a pupil during a class and "kicked shut a door."
The hearing, which is ongoing, will look at whether the teachers' alleged actions were dishonest, lacked integrity, were homophobic or were offensive.
The General Teaching Council, the independent regulator for teachers in Scotland, can suspend or remove registrations of an educator.
