About the Author

Lindsay Unified School District (LUSD), located in California's Central Valley, serves over four thousand students in the city of Lindsay and its surrounding area. LUSD's implementation of performance-based education has become a model and an inspiration for schools and districts around the country. The district struggled under a traditional system for many years with low levels of literacy, low test scores, and graduates who were not prepared for life. Envisioning and building a new, mastery-based system from the ground up allowed LUSD to radically improve student engagement, student achievement, and college and career readiness. LUSD is widely recognized as a leader in performance-based education and has been featured in Education Week and the Wall Street Journal, among others. The district's leaders encourage others to follow in their footsteps through presentations at national conferences and organized site visits to Lindsay schools.
