About the speaker
Why Schools Book Jim Jordan
Twenty years in front of American middle school and high school audiences, and a program that respects students enough to entertain them before asking them to think hard.
20 years, one audience
Jim has been speaking to students in the USA for 20 years. That experience shows up in small ways an occasional presenter cannot replicate: knowing how long a gym audience will stay with a serious point, when to bring a volunteer on stage, and how to handle the back row of a 900-student high school assembly.
He is a professional performer as well as a safety presenter, which is why magic and audience participation are structural parts of the program rather than decoration. Attention is the prerequisite for everything else.
Proactive by design, never fear-based
Some safety programming trades on shock. Jim's does not. Frightened students do not report more — they disengage. The assembly builds confidence instead: here is a warning sign, here is who to tell, here is what happens next.
That framing also keeps parents, counselors and school boards comfortable, which matters when a school wants to make the program an annual fixture.
What makes the program different
Built for grades 6-12
Separate middle school and high school content, not one script stretched across six grade levels.
Uses your reporting channels
Jim names your school's actual tip line or counseling process so students leave knowing your system.
Measurable follow-up
Quiz material lets staff verify retention instead of hoping the message stuck.
