Blueprint is a web-based platform that helps middle school students develop essential life skills—like emotional intelligence, resilience, and responsible decision-making—through engaging, authentic story-driven content.
Using short-form, Hollywood-quality videos and individualized learning paths, Blueprint turns the real-life stories of public figures into lessons students actually look forward to. Students connect with relatable mentors and reflect on their own experiences while building the skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.
What’s Included
Each Blueprint course includes:
Short-form video episodes featuring public figures who share how they overcame adversity.
Individualized learning activities, called Sparks, that help students have a voice in how they learn.
Teacher facilitation guides with slides, pacing suggestions, discussion prompts, and group activities.
Student downloadables and “Dig Deeper” projects for extended learning.
Engagement dashboards to track participation and trends at the school or class level.
