Alaska · Grades 6-12 · Middle & High Schools
For a Alaska school, prevention works best when students know what to do before a crisis. Jim Jordan's assembly makes that practical. Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard is the memorable core; See Something Say Something is the supporting school-safety concept. The presentation is designed for widely separated school communities where students may rely on a smaller circle of trusted adults.
Step 1
Students learn to notice warning signs without treating every unusual moment as an emergency: concerning behavior, online red flags, bullying or harassment patterns, changes in a friend's behavior, threats framed as jokes and situations that deserve a second look.
Step 2
Bravery is responsible action, not confrontation. Students may need to save a screenshot, step away from a risky situation, use an anonymous reporting option or tell a trusted adult even when speaking up feels socially uncomfortable.
Step 3
The goal is not simply to say something — it is to get useful information to someone who can respond. Students learn to separate facts from assumptions, identify trusted adults and reporting channels, and understand that immediate danger requires emergency help.
The memorable student message
See Something Say Something describes the larger prevention idea. Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard gives students the three actions Jim wants them to remember: notice the warning sign, find the courage to act safely and make sure the concern reaches a trusted adult who can help.
Middle school students often know something feels wrong before they know what to call it. In Alaska, Jim connects distance, close peer groups, online messages, and asking for help early to the three-step framework and practices a simple first move: tell one trusted adult clearly and early instead of waiting for the situation to grow.
Older Alaska students already navigate complicated situations online and in person. Jim uses digital evidence, urgent concerns, leadership, and acting before isolation becomes silence to challenge them to think like leaders: preserve facts, choose the right adult, and do not let social pressure decide whether a serious concern gets reported.
Reporting is taught as a skill in Alaska. Students learn to say what they saw or heard, separate facts from assumptions, explain why the concern matters, and use the school's own process. Immediate danger requires emergency help; non-urgent concerns should move to the appropriate school adult or reporting channel.
Interactive, not fear-based
Alaska students are more likely to remember a framework they participated in. Jim combines magic, audience volunteers, direct questions, short video segments and post-assembly quizzes so the program stays energetic without making the safety topic frightening or heavy for the entire session.
A Alaska school does not need to replace its safety process to use this program. Jim can point students back to the school's own counselors, administrators, anonymous channels and emergency procedures. The assembly gives students a memorable framework for using those systems responsibly.
The live event is the beginning. After Jim leaves, Alaska staff can bring the three-step message back through advisory questions, digital-citizenship reminders, counseling conversations, posters and quick quizzes so students hear the same language more than once.
Serving Alaska
This Alaska page focuses on widely separated school communities where students may rely on a smaller circle of trusted adults. Jim's program keeps the core message consistent while giving middle and high school audiences age-appropriate examples and language they can use in their own school setting.
Schools may inquire from communities such as Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, Wasilla and elsewhere in Alaska. Availability depends on the speaking calendar and travel schedule.
