Why Arkansas Schools Choose Jim Jordan

Jim Jordan is recognized as the USA's #1 anti-bullying school assembly speaker. With more than 17 years of experience and hundreds of thousands of students served, Jim brings a proven, proactive model that goes far beyond awareness — it delivers lasting behavioral change.

Jim's approach turns passive bystanders into active upstanders. Students leave every assembly knowing exactly what to do when they witness or experience bullying. Teachers receive practical follow-up tools. Administrators get a scalable, repeatable plan.

From large urban districts in Little Rock to small rural schools across the Arkansas River Valley and Ozark highlands, Jim adapts every program to fit your school's culture, grade levels, and specific challenges.

A Three-Part System That Creates Lasting Change

Jim's proactive model is built around three core competencies that students can put into practice the same day as the assembly — no complex rules, no jargon.

1. Recognize Bullying

  • Identify bullying behaviors quickly and clearly
  • Understand physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying
  • Spot warning signs that require adult intervention
  • Distinguish bullying from conflict

2. Report Safely

  • Know exactly who to tell and when
  • Use anonymous reporting options where permitted
  • Understand when to involve parents or staff
  • Build confidence to speak up without fear

3. Act as an Upstander

  • Support targets and protect peers
  • Disrupt harmful situations using school rules
  • Seek adult help before situations escalate
  • Practice upstander lines on stage during the assembly

Six Powerful Tools That Keep Students Engaged

Jim's assemblies never feel like lectures. Every session is built from the ground up using engagement techniques that hold attention from the first minute to the last.

01

Storytelling

Real, age-appropriate stories connect with students across grades and cultural backgrounds — building empathy and buy-in.

02

Live Magic

Visual memory anchors — students remember the key takeaways because they're tied to moments that surprise and delight.

03

Video Clips

Short, targeted videos spark class discussion, validate student experiences, and build deeper insight.

04

Interactive Quizzes

Live audience questions pace the session and reinforce the core lessons through participation rather than passive listening.

05

On-Stage Practice

Students rehearse real upstander lines and scenarios on stage — the skills transfer to the hallway because they've already done it.

06

Parent & Staff Sessions

Add evening parent sessions and staff training for a school-wide plan that reinforces the message at every level.
