5th-6th Grade Programs
Behavior is the Key: Part 1
(90 min.) Through his “call me Jim” approach, students learn more about bully behavior and are also introduced to Jim. Some important points that identify bully behavior are shared, in addition to facts like “85 % of students are bystanders when some one is being hurt.” Jim advises students that leadership is about reaching out to the victim and taking the power away from the bully. He conducts a confidential survey that helps the school identify how the students are doing emotionally and whether or not they believe that change can occur. Jim uses the sharing of how his son was killed by a drunken driver to motivate students to reach out and to understand that his future is in their hands.
Behavior is the Key - Part 2
6th Grade Program – 90 min.- Students learn the 3 types of victims most preyed on by bullies and how being a bystander gives the bully power. Through Jim’s use of the “Broken Toy” video students gain, not only empathy for a passive victim, but positive steps they can take to befriend the victim and strip the bully’s power by refusing to be bystanders.
