TUSD Implements K-5 Standards-based Progress Report

Ten years ago, TUSD started piloting a standards-based report card. The report card was cutting edge and designed to support the standards-based movement of the district.

In 1999, when PC computers were purchased for teachers, a committee was appointed to compile information as to the effectiveness of the standards-based progress report and determine any changes that were necessary to the format before producing a PC-compatible version. This committee made recommendations resulting in the current format of the progress report. The central office administration reviewed the progress report and recommended all schools move to a standards-based progress report to align with the state standards.

Many questions are asked as to why TUSD has chosen this option. The following information may shed some light of this decision.
