MARK WEISS
Operation Respect developed the Don’t Laugh at Me (DLAM) programs, one for grades 2-5, another for grades 6-8 and a third for summer camps and after-school programs. All of the programs utilize inspiring music and video along with curriculum guides based on the well-tested, highly regarded conflict resolution curricula developed by the Resolving Conflict Creatively Program (RCCP) of Educators for Social Responsibility (ESR). Thanks to the generosity of
The McGraw-Hill Companies, Operation Respect disseminates the DLAM programs free of charge. More than 150,000 copies of the program have been distributed to educators since Operation Respect’s inception.To date, more than 40,000 educators have participated in workshops throughout the United States.

Mark Weiss has been the Education Director of Operation Respect for 10 years. He was a New York City school principal for 20 years, founding the first alternative high school in the Bronx in 1979 and leading that school for 13 years. He then founded a New Visions (grades 6–12) public school, School for the Physical City, which was heralded in a 1993 New York Times Magazine cover story as “A City School Experiment That Actually Works” leading that school for more than 7 years.
Mr. Weiss brings his commitment and expertise in building school communities of respect and learning to his work with Operation Respect. As Educator Director, Mr. Weiss works with a staff of trainers who lead workshops nationally and internationally.
“What I love about Operation Respect is that the inspiration of Peter’s music and our approach to introducing social and emotional learning and character development to schools, resonates so strongly throughout the world,” says Weiss.
Mr. Weiss has also taught courses for future school leaders in the Administration and Supervision Certification and Masters Program at Hunter College.
