Vermont Anti-Bullying School Speaker for Stronger School Communities
Bullying prevention assemblies created for each stage of student life
Give Vermont students memorable bystander strategies, give educators a consistent response framework and give families a clear way to continue the conversation.
Local Planning
A prevention visit shaped around Vermont schools
Schools across Vermont do not need a generic motivational talk. They need an anti-bullying school speaker who can help students recognize harmful patterns, choose a safe bystander response and know how to reach a trusted adult. The presentation is adapted by age so the message remains concrete for younger children and credible for adolescents.
A useful planning conversation begins with making reporting pathways visible and easy to remember. That focus helps a school decide who should attend, what staff should reinforce and how families will hear the same core message. Programs serve district, independent, faith-based and charter school communities; no partnership with a particular school or district is implied.

From Event to Practice
Make the Vermont assembly part of a larger prevention program
Before the visit
Brief faculty on the vocabulary students will hear. Confirm how students report in each building, who receives concerns and where students can find private support.
During assembly day
Use separate sessions when developmental needs differ. Student participation, visual demonstrations and direct examples keep prevention concepts understandable while staff observe the language they can reuse.
After students return
Revisit one idea at a time in advisory or class meetings. Ask students to practice safe bystander choices, remind them of reporting routes and review whether adults are responding consistently.
Tour Routing
Scheduling a bullying prevention speaker in Vermont
Travel planning for Vermont is based on compact regional tour routing and coordinated neighboring-state dates. Schools can help by sharing a flexible date range, city, grade configuration, expected attendance and preferred program mix. The office then provides actual availability and pricing rather than an unverified estimate.
A clear request gets a useful answer
Include whether you are considering high school anti-bullying assembly, educator training, a parent evening or several student sessions. Neighboring schools may also ask independently about compatible dates.

What educators say about Jim Jordan's anti-bullying presentations
These attributed comments help Vermont decision-makers assess the presentation experience; they are not represented as endorsements from Vermont 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.
Vermont FAQ
Questions about booking an anti-bullying school speaker in Vermont
How should a Vermont school choose grade bands for assembly day?
Start with the developmental needs in each building, not one generic script. PK–2, grades 3–5, middle school and high school presentations use different language and examples. Our office can help a Vermont planning team fit separate sessions into its bell schedule.
Can Vermont schools combine an assembly with high school anti-bullying assembly?
Yes. A coordinated day can include student sessions plus a focused program for high school students. We plan transitions, room needs and timing with the school before the visit.
What should staff do before an anti-bullying speaker arrives in Vermont?
Review the school's definitions, reporting channels and response roles. Tell students which trusted adults can receive a report, and prepare counselors or administrators for questions that may surface after the program.
Is parent anti-bullying presentation available to schools across Vermont?
Programs are scheduled by date and route. Contact the office with your city, preferred date range, audience size and grade levels so availability and travel can be discussed without assumptions.
How can a Vermont school sustain the message after assembly day?
Use short classroom prompts, repeat the same bystander and reporting language, communicate with families and review progress. A useful assembly gives a prevention plan momentum; it does not replace ongoing school practice.
