Who we are
Through daily 15-minute lessons, students learn to recognize strengths in themselves and others, building a shared language that strengthens relationships and school culture. Founded in 2015 by Army veterans and West Point graduates Mike Erwin and Jeff Bryan, P2 was created to help schools develop the next generation of citizens through character.
The foundation
We believe positive relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling life, and that character is what makes those relationships possible. By developing it, students gain what they need to grow as people, connect more deeply with others, and succeed in whatever comes next.
Who P2 is for
Bring P2 to a single school and build a shared character vocabulary across every classroom. Daily 15-minute lessons, ready-to-use, and age-appropriate content from Pre-K–12 give teachers a simple framework that fits morning meetings, advisory periods, and beyond.
Create consistency across every campus with one shared character framework. P2 scales from a handful of schools to large districts, delivering daily 15-minute lessons, Pre-K–12 content, and a Tier 1 foundation that aligns with PBIS, restorative practices, and MTSS.
P2 for Families helps parents stay connected to what students are learning each week. Family letters, simple activities, and character strength certificates take the conversation from school to home — without adding more to your evening.
How a P2 lesson is designed
P2 provides universal Tier 1 daily practice that reaches every student, along with character-aligned Tier 2 strategic interventions and Tier 3 targeted supports for students who need additional help. P2 also offers Tier 2 and Tier 3 enrichment opportunities that give students additional ways to deepen and apply their understanding of character strengths.
P2 includes its own Pre-K–12 PBL library: school-wide projects and class-based units where students apply character strengths to an authentic, real-world challenge. Choose scripted or open-ended units you shape yourself.
P2 develops the communication, teamwork, integrity, perseverance, and other skills that CTE prepares students to use on the job.
The Career Readiness Toolbox organizes P2 lessons by workplace theme — communication, professionalism, conflict resolution, interview prep — and sequences them across grades 9–12, built to be flexible with your schedule.
P2 turns your Portrait of a Graduate from a poster into a daily practice, with Pre-K–12 lessons that build the character attributes your community already named as essential.
