The NYC DOE is committed to maintaining a safe and supportive learning environment that is free from harassment, intimidation and/or bullying and from discrimination based on actual or perceived race, color, citizen-ship/immigration status, religion, creed, national origin, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, or weight.
The NYC DOE launched the citywide Respect For All program in 2007 to build the capacity of staff and students to actively promote a community of inclusion in each of our schools.
The seeds of Respect For All (RFA) were sown in the aftermath of 9/11, when the NYC DOE began a concerted citywide effort to promote respect for diversity and combat harassment, discrimination and bullying. This initiative provided professional development for K-12 school staff, as well as direct services to students. The goal of this work is to ensure that every NYC school provides a learning environment where all children feel safe, valued and respected,
Mouse over the timeline below to learn more about the NYC DOE’s ongoing efforts to ensure that all students in our City have the opportunity to learn in a safe and supportive environment.

· Full-day professional development on bullying and cyberbullying, specifically designed for counselors in middle and high schools, is implemented.
· The annual Respect For All Award is created to recognize schools for their work to foster positive interpersonal and intergroup relations, and presented during RFA Week to schools that have done exemplary work to promote Respect For All.
