The Videos

CLASSROOM CONNECTION
We started a YouTube channel in 2017 so student volunteers could have another chance to practice life skills in an informal environment. Since then we have created hundreds of videos! We talk through Health Ed, school, and life outside of school for the sake of reflection and feedback.

The videos are part of ongoing instruction we offer to the online community of students and fellow teachers. For internet safety, parents give consent and full names or other identifying details are omitted.​

The students always make great life connections while having fun– be sure to check out some episodes!
