In my 31 years as an educator, I’ve seen countless character ed programs come and go. This is the first I’ve experienced that has made a noticeable difference in our schools and amongst our community. Teachers embrace it, students learn and develop from it, and our community is the beneficiary of it.

Proactive Instruction,
School-wide Impact

A strong school culture begins with a strong foundation, which is why P2 is the leader in Tier 1 character education. By proactively building character and relationships, P2 prevents the need for higher-level interventions through:

  • Universally implemented — creating a school-wide common vocabulary by reaching every student, every day
  • Supports the entire MTSS framework – with Tier 1, 2, and 3 lessons
  • Trusted by 800+ schools nationwide

MTSS Alignment

More Than a Curriculum,
It’s a Culture Strategy

P2 isn’t a one-time lesson or reactive program. It’s a daily practice that builds character, resilience, and real relationships — the foundation of a strong school community. With P2:

  • Attendance increases
  • Behavior improves
  • Culture becomes more connected (And yes — academics benefit too)

Family Engagement

The Positivity Project has the potential to shape the culture of an entire school in a way that brings people together, provides identity, and acts as the foundation for many other school efforts.

Boost Attendance Through Belonging

“This past year, there were several comments from parents that my student begs to come to school—even when they’re sick. They don’t want to miss class time. They don’t want to miss being with their friends. To me, that’s a powerful reflection of the positive relationships that have been built and that are now a foundation at Clovis Elementary because of The Positivity Project.”

– Donelle Kellom, Principal, Clovis Elementary

Improve Behavior Proactively

“When a child can have a conversation with another child instead of running to get an adult, they really started to own the relationships that they were building and they started to own their own behavior…that’s huge for a school site…that’s what starts to change the culture on the playground and the culture in the classroom.”

– Lisa Vuola, Learning Director of EL Services, Clovis Unified School District

Strengthen Relationships, Strengthen Culture

“One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen in my 25 years in education is what the positivity project did for our school and our students and our staff and our community… I can’t say enough about the impact, the positive impact it has had for our educators and our students.”

– Erin Waer, Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum, Instruction, and Accountability, Clovis Unified School District

  • Perseverance and Perspective have been major strengths that helped me handle social and educational challenges. Being reminded that things will pass and that I have the ability to grow and learn from them have been incredibly helpful.

  • Kindergarten students were raising their hands and using the words “Integrity,” “Perseverance,” and “Gratitude”…Ms. Saleh’s students use these words with such tenacity and it seems so natural to them.

  • I can honestly say I have never felt so good about a character education program in my teaching career. I can actually see this program working every day.

We have truly seen a transformation in our program since we began using The Positivity Project.
