"Ms. Darville-Zuk's presentation on transforming an in-school suspension room into a vibrant, culturally-responsive learning space was inspiring and captivating. Her passion for supporting our students who need the most really came across as she shared her experience in a Title 1 middle school in NC. Her program, named BASE (Behavioral, Academic, Social, and Emotional), offers students an option when they have so few options provided to them, and she provides the evidence that it can be done! I left the presentation wishing every school could have a BASE program!" -Equity advocate and Color of Education 2023 attendee
