Speakers should have a plan for follow-up

Speakers should have books, materials, activities, or resources—something they can distribute to the school so that faculty and staff can debrief with the students and thereby continue the conversation after the assembly (and, ideally, on a regular basis throughout the year). The resources should clearly mirror the messages conveyed in the assembly so that everything builds on itself. If the speaker doesn’t have content to share, he or she should be able to recommend the best out there. This simply demonstrates that the speaker knows the proverbial lay of the land, and has taken the time to figure out what can help the school on a long-term basis with its bullying prevention goals.

Ultimately, a great speaker with great content makes for a great presentation. I know that sounds intuitive, which is why I wanted to drill down into the essential components to show you what matters the most. I hope the preceding helps those on the front lines working hard to raise awareness on this incredibly important issue. If we are spending our lives (and the time, attention, and resources of schools) trying to communicate a truly transformative message, we must give it our best—and do it right.
