Steve Zimmerman, Coordinator of Music and Visual Arts for the Westport Public Schools, was Dan Woog's guest on Where Westport Meets the World this week, recorded live in the Trefz Forum at The Westport Library.

Westport Public Schools (WPS) was recently acknowledged for its innovative approach to addressing the needs of students with language-based learning differences, including dyslexia, at the National Dyslexia Conference in Dallas, TX. Highlighting its commitment to supporting all learners, WPS was recognized as a model district for inclusive education during a session on evidence-based literacy instruction where its collaboration with the Southport CoLab was showcased.

As the leaves begin to fall, WPS middle schoolers are turning their gaze to the skies, tracking some of Connecticut’s most impressive travelers - migratory birds.
