    11. Reading First Scientifically based reading research is research that applies systematic and objective procedures to obtain valid knowledge relevant to reading development, reading instruction, and reading difficulties. Uses rigorous, systematic, and empirical methods. Involves rigorous data analyses that are adequate to test the stated hypotheses and justify drawn conclusions. Relies on measurements or observational methods that provide valid data across evaluators and observers and across multiple measurements and observations. Has been accepted by a peer-reviewed journal or approved by a panel of independent experts through a comparable rigorous, objective, and scientific review.

    12. College Preparation Course Westport Central School is one of only a handful of Schools offering a college preparation course. Team taught with Business and English Teacher. Students during the course complete the entire admissions process for a minimum of one college. Over the past three years all seniors taking the course have successfully gained acceptance to a Two-year or Four-year College.
