America’s Anti-Bullying School Speaker

About

Jim Jordan — Author, Anti-Bullying Expert, Entertainer

An anti-bullying school speaker, not a general motivational speaker

Jim Jordan and his team built a safe school program around one idea: change the mindset of the bystanders and you change the school. He has presented non-stop across the United States to thousands of students, parents and teachers.

The Speaker

A Specialist in Anti-Bullying School Assemblies

Jim Jordan is an international speaker whose work centers on one subject: bullying prevention in schools. He is the author of four books and is known for Plug the Tub, Bullying: It’s Time for a Paradigm Shift and Be a Super Hero.

Most anti-bullying speakers focus on targeted students. That approach is reactive and reaches only a fraction of the room. Jim focuses on the role of the bystander, which speaks to every student in the assembly. When the mindset of bystanders shifts, the majority of students say no to bullying and start speaking up, and bullying drops.

The delivery matters as much as the content. Magic, video and audience participation hold attention through a full assembly, so the message survives past the walk back to class. Schools routinely report students and staff still talking about the program days later.

Programs are offered for Primary, Elementary, Middle and High School students. Teachers consider practical tools for responding to bullying in their building and the secret to leadership that helps them motivate students. Parents learn how to encourage their children and understand their own role in stopping bullying at their child’s school.

Testimonials

What Educators Say

Feedback from schools that have hosted the program.

Wow, that is the best school assembly we have ever had. All the teachers were coming up to me and asking “where did you find this guy?” Great job.
Mrs. WilsonSt. Mary'sTeacher
I will definitely recommend this presentation to other schools. Thank you for exceeding our expectations and bringing our staff and students so many smiles and important lessons today.
Leslie McDermetTeacher
The students and teachers truly enjoyed it. I could tell because there was lots of positive conversation long after the program had ended. A few students even came to me and some teachers to let us know of a few incidents that were going on.
Dorothy HallerTeacher
Thanks again for your inspirational presentation. The staff and students are still buzzing about it.
Judy LamarcheGuidance CounselorCounselor
Thank you for coming to our schools! We received really good feedback from our students. My daughter, who is a junior at PC High School, came home that day and said she really enjoyed the presentation. She said Jim kept the students very interested and engaged. I have been able to apply what Jim presented to my elementary students in my bullying lessons in the classrooms. That has been very helpful! Thank you again! My principal would like you to come back next year.
Andrea McCutchanPetersburg, IndianaTeacherElementaryHigh School
Jim wove his natural speaking talents into moments of magic to draw out a point and to reinforce key elements of his talk. The students were motivated to listen and to respond throughout the presentation. Both staff and parents were very impressed with Jim’s management of the students and the clear messages of responsibility and respect that were his key messages. For any community that is endeavoring to address bullying within their school or may be establishing a leadership team, Jim Jordan is a terrific way to commence your efforts.
Tom DurranPrincipal, St Timothy Catholic Elementary SchoolPrincipalElementary
Jim Jordan’s assembly was a resounding success with my second-graders! His magic tricks kept them engaged and captivated, which was crucial for holding their attention. But more importantly, he delivered a clear, age-appropriate message about kindness and respect. The kids left the assembly understanding how their actions affect others and eager to be upstanders, not bystanders. I highly recommend him for younger students.
Ms. Emily CarterSecond Grade Teacher, Oakwood ElementaryTeacherElementary
Jim Jordan’s assembly was unlike any other anti-bullying program we’ve had. The level of student participation was incredible! He managed to involve every child, making them feel seen and heard. My students are still talking about the magic tricks and the interactive games, but more importantly, they’re actively applying what they learned about empathy and inclusion. A highly recommended program for fostering a positive school climate.
Ms. Jessica BrownPrimary Teacher, Sunnyside Primary SchoolTeacherElementary
I was pleasantly surprised by Jim Jordan’s assembly. I initially worried about reaching our high school students with an anti-bullying message, but he expertly navigated the nuances of bullying among teenagers. He addressed cyberbullying and the impact of social media effectively, making the message relevant and engaging. The students appreciated his honesty and his willingness to address difficult topics. It sparked some valuable discussions in my classes afterward.
Ms. Sarah ChenCounselor, Northwood High SchoolCounselorHigh School
Middle schoolers can be a tough crowd, but Jim Jordan completely won them over. His interactive approach and relatable stories kept them engaged throughout the entire presentation. He addressed the complexities of bullying in a way that resonated with their age group, acknowledging the peer pressure and social dynamics involved. The follow-up activities he suggested are fantastic and have already proven useful in our classroom. A truly impactful assembly.
