Impact and Outcomes

What People are Saying About our Workshops

"I believe we all must do our part to stop the epidemic of bullying in our schools. I am proud to support this incredible program, because I know that The Respect For All Project has made a real difference in other communities where these workshops have taken place. I look forward to seeing the benefits of these workshops and resources in our local school communities."
– Nebraska State Senator Gwen Howard

"THANK YOU! The capitalization of those two words does not begin to express the gratitude that we have for the presentation, and for the curriculum guides and video. Your trainer provided our staff with an outstanding presentation covering sensitive topics… the staff responded well to the video and curriculum guide. I had a few ask to borrow the video to take home and watch with their children. I think that was a huge first step!"

"Reviewing your curriculum guide, I feel that it is very appropriate and lends to discussions at all elementary levels. The starter sentences really cover the span of age-appropriate discussions. "Once again, I would like to thank you for the high-quality presentation and an outstanding presenter."
– Mike Guevara, principal, Delaine Eastin Elementary School

"Thank you for the time you spent presenting to the Circle of Sisters staff. The facilitators really enjoyed learning more about the many different types of families in today’s society. The work you do is inspirational and very important!"

"Your dedication and commitment to helping youth, their families and communities is essential. I hope that more programs like the That’s a Family! curriculum will be developed to help broaden the minds and understanding of diversity issues… The videos and lesson plans are wonderful additions to our program."
– Amy Chevrolet, LCSW, program specialist, Circle of Sisters

"I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful materials. The presenter was excellent, and he fielded all questions and concerns with grace and dignity. The discussion and teaching guide is a wealth of tools and information, and will greatly facilitate the use of this program in our classrooms."
– Audrey Ledesma, resource specialist, Mt. Vernon Elementary School

"The Let’s Get Real training was very valuable, as it provided a firm foundation for our school’s long-term effort to create and maintain an ever more respectful community environment. Since the training, we have been able to refer back to specific aspects of the workshops with students, such as scenes in the video and classroom discussions, to reinforce lessons and to highlight our commitment to helping our student body feel secure and protected. Several students have said that by participating in the workshops, they feel encouraged by the acknowledgment that many others [are] affected by teasing, and that they have more in common with some of their peers than they first thought … Overall, there has been a greater appreciation on the part of parents, students and faculty for the need to address instances of teasing and bullying in an immediate and thorough way."
– Lisa Richter, teacher, San Domenico School

The Respect For All Project Evaluation – California

In 2005, an independent evaluation team, BTW, assessed three years of The Respect For All Project (RFAP) professional development events in California. Analysis from surveys and interviews with participants determined that:

88% of all RFAP workshop participants agree that RFAP videos are effective tools for discussing these difficult, but important issues with youth.

84% report an increased awareness, ability and motivation to teach on issues of diversity or to prevent or better respond to name-calling and bullying.

69% of Let’s Get Real follow-up survey respondents report that the workshop promoted internal policy discussion related to name-calling and bullying at their institutions

80% of educators using That’s a Family! found that their students and youth had increased their comfort and familiarity with youth from different family structures.
