Tennessee’s Leading Anti-Bullying School Speaker
Bring Jim Jordan’s engaging and age-appropriate bullying-prevention message to your students, educators and families. Help students recognize bullying, reject harmful group behaviour, support targeted classmates and report serious concerns to a trusted adult.
Serving Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, Chattanooga, Clarksville, Murfreesboro, Franklin and school communities throughout Tennessee.
A Bullying-Prevention Message Students Can Use
Students experience social pressure, exclusion, hurtful comments, intimidation, rumours and digital conflict in many different forms. A meaningful school assembly must go beyond telling students to be kind. It should explain what bullying looks like, how an audience can make it worse and what students can safely do when someone needs help.
Jim Jordan delivers direct, relatable presentations designed around the developmental needs of each audience. Students leave with clear actions for responding to bullying in classrooms, hallways, cafeterias, buses, athletic programs, social media and group chats.
Recognize the Behaviour
Students examine repeated aggression, power imbalances, intimidation, social exclusion, humiliation and cyberbullying without treating every disagreement as bullying.
Reduce the Audience
Students learn that laughing, commenting, recording, sharing or forwarding harmful content can reward bullying and increase its effect on the targeted student.
Report the Concern
Students receive practical guidance for approaching teachers, counselors, administrators and other trusted adults with clear, useful information.
Why Tennessee Schools Choose Jim Jordan
Effective bullying prevention requires a presenter who can hold student attention while respecting the school’s policies, professional staff and established reporting procedures. Jim Jordan’s presentations combine memorable stories, age-appropriate examples and practical actions students can apply immediately.
The program does not focus only on the student who initiates the behaviour. It also addresses the role of classmates who watch, react, share content or quietly reinforce the social reward around bullying. Students are encouraged to consider how their personal decisions influence the wider school climate.

Strengthen Your School-Wide Prevention Strategy
A student assembly can build awareness, create shared language and motivate students to make better choices. Long-term prevention, however, also depends on clear expectations, accessible reporting processes and consistent reinforcement by adults.
Tennessee schools may combine student assemblies with educator training, parent presentations or multiple grade-level programs. This helps the entire school community understand the same key concepts while recognizing that students and adults have different responsibilities.
Available Program Options
- Primary and elementary student assemblies
- Middle school prevention presentations
- High school leadership programs
- Educator and school-staff training
- Parent and caregiver presentations
- District-wide and multi-school programming

Four Practical Actions Students Can Remember
Students need more than awareness. The presentation gives them a simple framework for making safer, more responsible decisions when bullying or cyberbullying occurs.
Recognize
Notice repeated aggression, intimidation, exclusion, humiliation and harmful online conduct.
Refuse
Refuse to provide attention or social rewards by laughing, recording, forwarding or joining the audience.
Support
Show appropriate support so the targeted student does not feel isolated or abandoned by classmates.
Report
Share useful information with a teacher, counselor, administrator or another trusted adult.
Supporting Safer Tennessee School Communities
Tennessee provides schools with state-level guidance and resources addressing bullying, harassment and cyberbullying. Schools are encouraged to establish a positive climate, communicate clear expectations and maintain effective procedures for responding to reported concerns.
An anti-bullying assembly does not replace a local education agency’s policies, investigation requirements, counseling services or emergency procedures. It can reinforce those measures by improving student understanding and encouraging responsible communication with school personnel.
Before the event, school leaders may identify local priorities, relevant grade-level concerns and the reporting instructions Jim Jordan should reinforce during the presentation.
