vision activity for CPD

I have been thinking a lot about communicating a shared vision - and also ensuring that ths is not a one way process. I'd be grateful for comments on this CPD idea: first few minutes, work alone and circle the ten things most important in the wordcloud (see below). Then in small groups, dicuss your reasons and come up with a collaborative version on a new copy. Finally feedback to whole group ..

and what words have I left out that should be in it?

Thanks for any help.

I did a similar activity in reverse. Staff in groups wrote what they saw as the current reality of our school's vision and five words that they thought described our school's priorities. I then used their ideas to create a wordle from the keywords, ensuring the frequency was relative so as to show the common ideas. We have it on the staffroom wall and it does get commented on
