West Virginia · Grades 6-12 · Middle & High Schools
A school safety assembly in West Virginia should leave students with more than a slogan. Jim Jordan gives grades 6-12 a sequence they can use the next day: notice what matters, find the courage to say something, and make sure the concern reaches the right person. That is Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard — a proactive framework built for school communities where relationship-based reporting and student courage can make a strong difference.
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.
Grades 6-8 receive a lighter, highly participatory delivery without watering down the safety content. Situations involving close communities, transportation, online conflict, and trusted adults become the bridge to a bigger lesson for West Virginia students: noticing a concern only helps when a responsible adult hears about it.
For grades 9-12 in West Virginia, the conversation moves into screenshots, threats, harassment, leadership, and speaking up even when the concern involves someone well known. Teenagers are treated as leaders. The emphasis is on judgment, evidence, urgency, bystander responsibility, and the difference between responsibly reporting a concern and simply reposting it.
West Virginia students are given a practical next-step ladder: protect immediate safety first, preserve useful evidence when appropriate, then move the concern to the adult or reporting channel that can respond. Schools can identify their own counselors, administrators, anonymous tools, SRO contacts where applicable, or other local procedures before Jim presents.
Interactive, not fear-based
Magic is an attention tool, not a side show. Jim uses visual routines, student volunteers, whole-room participation, short videos and follow-up quizzes so West Virginia students stay involved. Each interactive moment is tied back to Be Aware, Be Brave or Be Heard, helping the fun carry a serious prevention lesson.
West Virginia administrators can use the assembly as a launch point for an existing reporting system. Before the program, the school can identify local pathways students should know. Afterward, discussion prompts and quizzes help bring Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard into advisory, homeroom, counseling or student-leadership settings.
Follow-up matters because students forget one-time messages. Quiz material and discussion prompts give counselors, teachers and student leaders in West Virginia a practical way to keep Be Aware, Be Brave, Be Heard active after the assembly day.
