Abstract

The role of teachers in schools for the development of students who are at the stage of adolescent development is very important. This is because school is the second environment after the family where students grow as individuals. Teens to be able to develop positively need direction and guidance. Teachers in schools are important figures for students as sources of information, knowledge and behavior models. In the context of developing adolescents positively, unfortunately the teacher still does not have the ability as a companion. This activity aims to improve the ability of teachers to assist students by providing teachers with knowledge and abilities to develop students with the principles of positive youth development which consists of the following abilities: competence, confidence, relationships with others (connection), character (character) , and a sense of care / concern and sincerity (caring and compassion). This activity will be attended by junior and senior high school teachers in Kediri Regency. Activity methods are lectures, discussions, and role play.
