We have been very fortunate to work with Zuica on an ongoing basis this school year. Zuica has led reflective professional development opportunities for staff that has supported our school’s vision statement. She has worked directly with staff , students, and parents to build strong , trusting relationships, positive classroom environments, and to develop systems to meaningfully monitor student data. Zuica has been an integral member of our problem-solving team and offers a refreshing and informed perspective when faced with challenging situations. Zuica is professional, approachable, and realistic. She has been a breath of fresh air for our school team and we truly don’t know what we would have done without her.
