Norwalk Visiting Team Quote
"Reading __Good to Great__ together helped us confront the 'brutal truth' about our building. You have to look at that ‘brutal truth’ in order to determine your direction and focus."

In your group, appoint a facilitator, scribe, and timekeeper; all others will serve as gatekeepers and secondary facilitators. Working with your group, discuss the following question: The scribe will record your group's "brutal truths" on a piece of chart paper and hang it on the wall. When the discussion is completed, take a "gallery walk" and read all of the notes on every group's chart.
 * ﻿ Discussion questions:**
 * What are our 'brutal truths" at WMS?

Do not put your name on it but hand it in at the end of the meeting.
 * Exit Slip:** As an individual, write a response to the following question:
 * What one action will I take as an individual to make WMS a school where children and adults want to work and learn together?
