Video Resource Catalog for School Counselors

Continue building your individual, small group, or classroom school counseling lessons using this list of more than 50 YouTube videos.

With many school settings around the world moving from in-person to online, educators are trying to find good resources to use for instruction and practice in their online classrooms.

School counselors that teach online whether it be classroom, small group, or individual lessons, you may have also done your search for quality videos to use for some of your lessons. I know I did!

Let me briefly begin by sharing some info. The “face” of my virtual classroom consists of a 2D model image created using Google slides and Bitmoji. It is the visual representation for my online school counselor room for this school year. It will be linked with my actual virtual classroom on the Google Classroom platform. There, students will see me either in real time or recorded videos.

Below is one of my Bitmoji virtual classroom:

This post is a video resource catalog for all school counselors, social emotional educators, or fellow teachers seeking useful video content. For me, my middle school students from grades 5 through 8, will have access to my mini catalog any day and any time. Additionally, each video in the list below may serve as an introduction, supplement, or follow up to an instructional classroom lesson (live or recorded). Although this video catalog is for middle school students, many videos can be used for elementary and high school students as well!

Feedback is welcome as this list is not comprehensive based on the topics below!
