Models Of Respecting Everyone™ (MORE) at School is an anti-sexual harassment and anti-hazing education and training program designed to promote a proactive “culture of connectivity and change management” in public, private, and parochial schools.

The current operational norm in many schools throughout the United States reflects a “culture of disconnect and crisis management.” As illustrated below, the “disconnect” exists between what a school community perceives to be developmentally “normal” behavior among youth, as well as an extension of an increasingly common and unstoppable public phenomenon, and the shared values and practices of that school’s culture which lead to sexual harassment, hazing, and other types of disrespectful behavior.




As a result of this “disconnect,” school officials often respond to an incident involving sexual harassment or hazing only after it has escalated into a crisis, and even then characterize the incident as an isolated case brought about by “a few bad apples.”

The primary goal of MORE is to provide members of a school community with a blueprint for action to foster their shared commitment to building a safer, more respectful learning environment. This blueprint reflects a “culture of connectivity and change management” through which administrators, teachers, students, parents and other caregivers recognize sexual harassment and hazing as manifestations of their school community’s shared values and practices, and are empowered to facilitate positive social change, personally and institutionally.
