America’s Anti-Bullying School Speaker

CT School Programs

Connecticut Anti-Bullying Programs for District, Independent and Faith-Based Schools

Bullying prevention assemblies for Connecticut elementary, middle and high schools

Connecticut combines compact travel with sharply different school communities, including urban districts, shoreline towns, suburban systems and small northeastern communities. Close geography makes multi-school planning possible, but local expectations, building sizes and student-support structures still require individual preparation.

State-Specific Planning

Building the right anti-bullying program for Connecticut

Connecticut schools can use a coordinated day to align student sessions, faculty language and family outreach. The planning team should decide how examples will change from elementary to high school and how the speaker’s message will connect with existing climate, SEL and reporting procedures.

Jim Jordan’s programs are organized by developmental stage rather than delivered as one generic speech. The goal is to give students language they can understand, give bystanders several safe choices and help every audience connect the program with the trusted adults already available in its own school.

District, charter, independent, Christian and Catholic schools can ask about student assemblies, educator training and parent presentations. The booking conversation establishes what fits the school; this page does not imply a previous partnership with any named Connecticut district or campus.

Programs Available

Age-appropriate anti-bullying options for Connecticut schools

Choose one audience or build a coordinated day in which every group receives examples, pacing and participation suited to its role.

Grades PK-2

Primary Anti-Bullying Assembly

An action-packed, age-appropriate anti-bullying assembly built for pre-K through second grade. Magic, storytelling and audience participation teach young learners how to be a good friend, how to speak up, and how to ask a trusted adult for help.

Grades 3-5

Intermediate Anti-Bullying Assembly

Intermediate students learn to recognize the different forms of bullying, to intervene safely as bystanders, and to report without fear. The program shifts attention toward the majority of students who want bullying to stop and shows them practical ways to help.

Grades 6-8

Middle School Anti-Bullying Assembly

Middle school is where social dynamics get complicated and where bullying moves onto phones. This assembly meets students where they are, with a high-energy presentation on cyberbullying, digital citizenship and the courage to intervene.

Grades 9-12

High School Anti-Bullying Assembly

High school students do not need to be told bullying is wrong. They need a reason to act. This assembly challenges students to own the culture of their campus and gives them practical ways to influence it.

Faculty & Staff

Anti-Bullying Teacher Training

Teachers are central to a safe school culture. This professional development session defines staff roles in bullying prevention, explores response and investigation practices, and discusses how to support students and work constructively with families.

Parents & Families

Parent Anti-Bullying Presentation

An evening keynote for parents and guardians covering bullying prevention, cyberbullying, digital safety, communication at home, and warning signs that may warrant a closer conversation. Parents leave with practical next steps rather than generic advice.

After the Assembly

Keeping the message active in Connecticut schools

Because districts may have several buildings close together, leaders can coordinate shared staff resources while giving each campus its own next steps. A short post-assembly lesson, visible help pathway and 30-day review keep the message from becoming a single-day event.

Effective follow-up does not require students to disclose personal experiences in front of classmates. Schools can use fictional scenarios, private reflection and clear adult referral options. When a concern involves safety or an individual student, it belongs with trained school personnel following school and district procedures.

Before the Assembly

Preparing Connecticut educators and families

Staff should know the purpose of the program, the grade-specific language students will hear and the support contacts available after the event. Families benefit from a concise explanation of the topic, the school’s reporting route and a few questions they can use at home.

The school can also identify accessibility, language, sensory, mobility and schedule needs during planning. Those details help the program reach more students without putting individual children or their experiences on display.

Tour Routing

Scheduling an anti-bullying speaker in Connecticut

Connecticut visits can often connect Hartford-area, New Haven-area, Fairfield County, shoreline or neighboring New England dates. Exact campus addresses and dismissal times help prevent avoidable scheduling conflicts.

Provide the full campus address, preferred date range, grade levels, expected attendance and whether the request includes primary anti-bullying assembly, educator training, a parent evening or several student sessions. The office can then respond with actual availability and pricing.

Policy and Local Procedures

Connect the presentation with current Connecticut and district guidance

An educational assembly is not legal advice and does not replace school policy, investigation procedures or required student supports. Before the event, the planning team should review current state guidance, district rules and the school’s reporting process. Review the federal StopBullying.gov summary of Connecticut anti-bullying laws and policies as a sourced starting point, then confirm current requirements with the state education agency and the district before the program.

These attributed comments help Connecticut decision-makers assess the presentation experience; they are not represented as endorsements from Connecticut schools.

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.

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.

Connecticut FAQ

Questions about booking an anti-bullying school speaker in Connecticut

What makes an anti-bullying assembly useful for Connecticut schools?

Connecticut schools can use a coordinated day to align student sessions, faculty language and family outreach. The planning team should decide how examples will change from elementary to high school and how the speaker’s message will connect with existing climate, SEL and reporting procedures. The school should connect each student message to its own trusted-adult and reporting process.

Can Jim Jordan present in Hartford and other parts of Connecticut?

Connecticut visits can often connect Hartford-area, New Haven-area, Fairfield County, shoreline or neighboring New England dates. Exact campus addresses and dismissal times help prevent avoidable scheduling conflicts. Schools in Hartford, Eastern Connecticut and the other communities listed here should send their exact city, grade levels, audience size and preferred date range so the office can confirm what is possible.

Should a Connecticut school use one presentation for every grade?

Usually, separate age groups create a stronger learning experience. One useful Connecticut planning priority is to coordinate buildings without merging age groups. Primary, intermediate, middle and high school students also need different examples and participation choices.

How should Connecticut educators prepare before the speaker arrives?

Staff should review the school's own definitions, reporting routes, support contacts and response responsibilities. For this Connecticut plan, the team should also align with existing climate work and brief adults on the language students will hear.

What should happen after an anti-bullying assembly in Connecticut?

Because districts may have several buildings close together, leaders can coordinate shared staff resources while giving each campus its own next steps. A short post-assembly lesson, visible help pathway and 30-day review keep the message from becoming a single-day event. The assembly can create shared language and momentum, but it does not replace the school's ongoing prevention and response work.
