SEL for Every Student – A Guided Pathway from Kindergarten to High School
BrightStartU is a structured, CASEL-aligned learning system that helps children master emotional intelligence, leadership, and resilience from an early age.
What is the BrightStartU Discovery Series?
The BrightStartU Discovery Series is an innovative Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) system that guides learners of all ages through self-discovery, emotional intelligence, resilience, and leadership development. Designed under the BuildingBlocs Education platform, this series integrates CASEL-aligned SEL principles into structured books, courses, and interactive learning experiences that grow with the learner.
Unlike traditional SEL programs that focus only on early education, BrightStartU Discovery Series supports development from childhood through adulthood, ensuring that social-emotional skills evolve with the learner at each life stage.
