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.

Case Study: John Muir Middle School, San Leandro, Ca
The Respect For All Project has evaluated the impact of using Let's Get Real to change the overall school climate towards bias-motivated bullying and name-calling. During the 2006-2007 school year, John Muir Middle School (JMMS) in San Leandro, California implemented a comprehensive pilot of Let's Get Real to reduce the negative effect of bullying and name-calling on classrooms and school climate. Through a generous grant from the Walter and Elise Haas Fund, an independent evaluation team, BTW, followed the progress of the school administration, the staff and the students at JMMS as they embarked upon a school-wide effort to create Respect For All.
