This paper indicates eight problems faced by the teaching teams at Fremont Junior High School, including insufficient planning, lack of trust and openness, lack of correlation within the teams, inadequate assessment of pupil needs, insufficient change in teacher behavior, uneven level of total staff commitment toward the school, self-contained classrooms functioning within the open space concept, and manifestation by students of staff frustration. Characteristics or conditions which would indicate successful elimination of these problems are listed. A questionnaire that would guide an analysis of team effectiveness is included. (MJM)
