Calming Young Minds with Joe McQueen

Calming Young Minds Show notes

 

This week we meet up with Joe McQueen, an administrator from Galesburg, Illinois, who has over 25 years of experience working with students.  He is currently the director of alternative programming for the regional office of Education in Galesburg, where he oversees two campuses of alternative education students who attend for various reasons, from expulsion, severe acting out behavior, and anxiety or truancy.  

 

Joe wrote the book, Calming Young Minds is a culmination of years of work and love.  This book offers a unique perspective on understanding mental health, de-escalation, trauama, and restorative practices in teens.   This is also a research-based approach to understanding and working with kids who struggle with social-emotional issues.  

 

The book is available on Amazon.com, and Joe can be contacted via his website:

Honestly, this is a must-read! It is inspiring, and answers many questions, while giving insight and perspective whether you’re an administrator or teacher - even a parent, for that matter.
