Both show resistance to the recommendations provided by the subject teaching facilitators and little or no application of the normative and curricular documents established by the agency. In your school's Design for School Excellence, you must establish how you will implement the technical assistance process and what professional development you will establish to help both teachers. Detail how you would deal with the situation effectively to avoid initiating the process of progressive discipline and disciplinary actions.
