Substitute Teacher's Legal Advice

Last year I was subbing in a 5th grade class and I was very inexperienced. I knew I was expected to keep the class under control, but when a girl walked in late, while I was already struggling to just get through taking role, things got worse. The youngster was visibly irate and swearing, refusing to sit or do anything I asked. I reached out and took her by the arm, and led her back to her seat. My career has been shit since that day. I have had my case reviewed with the CTC, and now I am in the interim, waiting to find out their decision about the fate of my career and criminal status. Has anyone gone through this process? My criminal record status is preventing me from getting any other job. What do I do now?
