Why Connecticut Schools Are Choosing Jim Jordan
Bullying affects students across Connecticut — from the urban schools of Bridgeport and Hartford to the suburban communities of Fairfield County and the smaller towns along the shoreline. Educators statewide need programs that engage every student, fit every district, and produce measurable, lasting results.
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 nationally, Jim's interactive model turns passive bystanders into confident upstanders — students who know exactly what to do when bullying happens in their school or online.
Jim's assemblies are practical, memorable, and built for impact. Students leave with clear, simple steps they can use that same day. Teachers get follow-up tools designed for real Connecticut classrooms. Administrators receive a scalable plan that is easy to run every year and builds a genuine culture of safety and respect.
A Three-Part System That Creates Lasting Change in Connecticut Schools
Jim's proactive model gives every Connecticut student — from Kindergarten through Grade 12 — three practical skills they can put to use the same day as the assembly. No complicated rules, no jargon, just clear and immediately useful tools for safer schools.
1. Recognize Bullying
- Identify bullying behaviors quickly and clearly
- Understand physical, verbal, social, and cyberbullying
- Spot warning signs that require adult intervention
- Tell the difference between bullying and everyday conflict
2. Report Safely
- Know exactly who to tell and when
- Use anonymous reporting options where permitted
- Build the confidence to speak up without fear of retaliation
- Know when to loop in parents or school staff
3. Act as an Upstander
- Support targets and actively protect peers
- Disrupt harmful situations using school-safe actions
- Practice upstander scripts live on stage during the assembly
- Seek adult help before situations escalate further
