  abstract: The literature indicates an absence of research based
  abstract: character education programs at the secondary level. In
  abstract: times of increased substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, gang
  abstract: involvement, negative peer pressure, and violence among
  abstract: adolescents in this country, schools are struggling to find
  abstract: answers in dealing with these problems. Society expects
  abstract: schools to deal with these problems. Teen Leadership is a
  abstract: course which develops business, leadership, and professional
  abstract: skills in adolescents. Teen Leadership teaches adolescents
  abstract: the importance of living a principle centered life; how to
  abstract: handle peer pressure; how to build meaningful relationships;
  abstract: how to communicate effectively; the importance of values,
  abstract: standards and beliefs; creative problem solving; personal
  abstract: responsibility for one's thoughts, attitudes, and actions;
  abstract: the importance of life goals and visions; and how to make
  abstract: responsible decisions. Teen Leadership was introduced into
  abstract: Somerville High School during the Spring semester of 1994, in
  abstract: an effort to change perceived problems with the moral
  abstract: environment of the school. The research questions in this
  abstract: study were: (1) How do students and teachers perceive the
  abstract: environment of Somerville High School during the different
  abstract: stages of the implementation of Teen Leadership?; (2) How do
  abstract: teachers at Somerville High School perceive and respond to
  abstract: the Teen Leadership process?; (3) How do students at
  abstract: Somerville High School perceive and respond to the Teen
  abstract: Leadership process?; (4) How may the differences in the
  abstract: teachers' perceptions about the Teen Leadership process be
  abstract: described? This research used the naturalistic inquiry
  abstract: process described by Eriandson, (et all, 1993) in Doing
  abstract: Naturalistic Inquity. Purposive sampling was used to
  abstract: maximize information from 203 students and 20 faculty
  abstract: members. Structured and unstructured interviews were
  abstract: administered by the researcher, a participant-observer. The
  abstract: information collected from the interviews, along with
  abstract: critical incidents, was unitized and transferred to index
  abstract: cards. These cards were categorized to reflect the emergent
  abstract: themes. From these themes, the final report was developed.
  abstract: This research approach provided a rich description of the
  abstract: perceptions of the students and teachers of Somerville High
  abstract: School concerning the introduction of Teen Leadership as a
  abstract: character education program.
