A “Team” is defined as a group of people
working towards a common goal.

Therefore, “Team Building” is the process

of enabling that group of people to reach
their goal.

5
 It is a fact!

People working as a team can

achieve better results than
individuals working alone.

Case Study
6
Conflicting Data has always been a confusing issue for schools. Your school has
decided to take a closer look at Conflicting Data and how it is resolved at your
school. To help with this, the school decided to complete the Conflicting Data
Activity Found in the Verification Assessment.

Knowing that the sources of Conflicting Data probably involve more than one
office, several questions come to mind.
7
1. Who should we ask to be involved in the Conflicting
Data Activity?

2. How do we develop the team?

3. What is the best way to make the process as productive

as we can?

4. What is the best way to get this process going?
