Abstract: Broderick and Blewitt (2010) have held that, teachers and school play a significant role in the psychosocial, intellectual and vocational development of adolescents. Teacher, being an ideal person in the school, ameliorates adolescents self, knowledge and skills through holistic educational program. Teachers’ earnest involvement and contribution in school based educational program enhance personality among adolescents. The paper has probed and evaluated teachers’ opinions about the Kishori Awareness Program-a school based Life Skills Education for adolescent girls in the Kannada Medium Government schools in Hubli-Dharwad. This study is based on the premise that for effectiveness of such programs, dedication and commitment of teachers is vital. The findings revealed that commitment and allegiance of teachers was rather low as they were not involved in any other phase of developing or evaluating the program, except its implementation. It is therefore recommended for the teachers’ involvement at all levels of program formulation or a thorough preparatory training to achieve their active participation and keen monitoring of their participation.
