Jeff Long
Jeff has over 22 years of expertise in software sales, project management, and implementation support in the K-12 education field. He brings this experience to Respectful Ways as our new Client Success Advocate. Jeff’s job is to ensure that every Respectful Ways customer has a positive, constructive experience employing our programs in support of their social-emotional learning curriculum.
Growing up, Jeff lived with a sister with disabilities which led to his desire to work with students with disabilities. Starting in High School, he spent over 20 years as a volunteer with the Georgia Special Olympics, assisted for numerous years as a counselor at a camp for students with mental and physical disabilities, and worked as a career coach for disabled clients.
Jeff’s interest in working with local schools in the Atlanta area, prompted him to become an advocate for better, more accountable schools. He is a community organizer, creating several civic groups with the goals of promoting best practices within local schools and local governments.
Now as a member of the Respectful Ways team, Jeff is looking forward to using his talents and experiences to help educators accomplish their jobs with minimal stress and maximum, productive objectives.

Our 1st graders loved the Be Kind: It Feels Good course. The Kindness Hunt and bucket filling activities were the best. Very engaging.
The Bored, Get Creative module was perfect for our 4th graders pre-winter break. We talked about things they could do if “bored”.
Our 1st and 2nd graders loved the Be Strong and Take it On course because it encouraged a strong mind, and it reminded them that mistakes happen. The IT in Grit was super cute!
