The Positivity Project’s Alignment With Existing School Behavior Frameworks
By Melissa KillingbeckHow P2 Supports Your School’s Success
Many schools already have behavior frameworks in place and want to ensure new programs enhance—not replace—their efforts. The Positivity Project (P2) is uniquely designed to stand on its own or complement your school’s existing initiatives by focusing on character and relationships.
P2 provides a proactive, strengths-based approach that fosters intrinsic motivation, improves behavior, and builds a culture where students and staff thrive. With low-prep lessons and a research-backed framework, P2 seamlessly integrates into any school community, enhancing student outcomes and school culture.
Proven Results
P2 is grounded in positive psychology research, and its efficacy is supported through peer-reviewed journal articles.
- Student-Teacher Relationships: Research shows that P2 improves teacher-student relationships, fostering “higher rates of closeness and lower rates of conflict” compared to control groups. Read the article summary here.
- Students’ Sense of Relatedness: Students in P2 Partner Schools report significantly greater feelings of connectedness, often saying, “It makes me feel understood.” This sense of belonging enhances academic motivation and social development. Read the article summary here.
- Emotional and Behavioral Development: A study found that P2 reduces emotional and behavioral challenges in students over just half a school year. Teachers also demonstrated high fidelity in implementing the program, critical to its success. Read the article summary here.
- Teacher Satisfaction: Teachers express high satisfaction with P2, citing visible behavioral improvements and the program’s practical, strengths-based approach. One teacher described it as “a transformation,” noting shifts from “disrespectful to respectful” and “challenging to cooperative.” Read the paper here.
