The CTR works to transform educator preparation and diversify the teacher workforce, particularly for hard-to-staff Chicago Public Schools (CPS) classrooms. The program is a year-long resident teacher training program that combines a Master's Degree and significant classroom experience under the guidance of a trained and experienced mentor teacher. During the program, the residents receive intensive practice and individualized coaching while spending four days a week in CPS classrooms, observing and practicing the skills and strategies necessary to be an effective teacher. The CTR model also engages residents in graduate-level coursework to earn a Master's Degree with DePaul University and become eligible for an Illinois educator license (if not already licensed). As of June 2022, AUSL has graduated over 1,300 teacher residents trained and committed to working in high-needs areas of Chicago. 1251200 567643 School management - AUSL manages a network of schools primarily located in low-income neighborhoods in the south and west sides of Chicago. These schools are under contract with the Board of Education of the City of Chicago. AUSL provides extra support, including curriculum development, data-driven school management and instructional supports, on-going teacher development, support for after-school programs and curricular enhancements, and assistance with parental involvement and community initiatives. In addition to providing new opportunities for students during class time, AUSL establishes partnerships with many community-based organizations and local agencies that provide vital in-school and out-of-school services to their students, from tutoring to athletics and fine arts programming. AUSL's leadership coupled with external partnerships offer our students an incredible range of life experiences to support students' continued growth. Upon a joint review of the successful transformation of the CPS schools under AUSL's management, CPS announced that AUSL would transition management of its schools back to their respective CPS Geographic Network. A transition agreement was entered into between AUSL and CPS that began on July 1, 2021 and will conclude June 30, 2024. CPS cited the "sustained process" of AUSL schools and stated "AUSL has been a critical partner in helping schools and communities in need of additional support, which has led to years of consistent, stable, and improved academic experience for thousands of CPS students." 1538691 1704995 Advisory services - Through its Advisory Services and the LiberatED Way approach, we support forward-thinking school and systems-level leaders to authentically partner with their school communities in defining, calibrating on, and implementing an equity-driven vision for the student experience that leads to whole-child success. AUSL provides services that include strategic consulting with district leaders and a variety of job-embedded professional learning experiences for the district and school-based talent that are coherently aligned to our purpose and value proposition. Specific project focus areas include, but are not limited to, design of an equity-centered vision for a liberated student experience, establishment of foundational school structures for culture and instruction, foster authentic family and community partnerships, and create robust and aligned teacher development systems. 6251761 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 36 0 1 58 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 17 17 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X Amy Jackson 7735340143 3400 N Austin Avenue Chicago IL 60634 Anthony Miller Strategy Committee Chair 0.25 X X 0 0 0 Brian Doyal Finance Committee Chair 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Cardelle Spangler Chair 1.50 X X 0 0 0 Cheri Carter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Goesel Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 David Chandler Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Strobel Director 6.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Wasson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Jodl Advisory Services Co-Chair 2.00 X 0 0 0 James Cowie Advisory Services Co-Chair 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth W Miller Director 3.50 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Axel Vice Chair 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Martin Koldyke Chair Emeritus 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Michael Zafirovski Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Munu Ghandi Marketing/Communications Co-Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Raj Vora Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Robert E King Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Pemberton Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Theodore Dysart Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 William Lutz Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Zaid Abdul-Aleem Governance and Nominating Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Jennifer Chuang Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Donald Feinstein Executive Director 40.00 X 205717 0 2881 Scott Macdonald Secretary/Managing Directo 40.00 X 189090 0 14771 Amy Jackson Treasurer/Dir of Finance 40.00 X 101126 0 11331 Jarvis Sanford Managing Director, School 40.00 X 210184 0 13846 Martin Green General Manager, Advisory 40.00 X 169657 0 7637 Michael Whitmore Managing Director, Teachin 40.00 X 203503 0 7352 Shane Caterino Managing Director, Externa 40.00 X 180000 0 2830 Annise Lewis Chief of Schools 40.00 X 163184 0 7045 Christopher Childers Chief Marketing Officer 40.00 X 122335 0 2423 Cynthia Brunswick Director, Curriculum, Inst 40.00 X 117808 0 6042 Shannon Ulric Director of Partner Engagement 40.00 X 118924 0 7934 Tosha Jackson Deputy Chief of Schools 40.00 X 139925 0 22473 1921453 0 106565 16 0 1 0 0 2042651 946500 2501260 5490411 CPS Program Funding 900099 3153025 3153025 Advisory Services 900099 1704995 1704995 4858020 33750 33750 30440 2042651 213236 -182796 -182796 Other income 900099 103286 103286 103286 10302671 4961306 0 -149046 567643 567643 1561845 1561845 1118383 637623 291768 188992 3023109 2418351 386668 218090 180710 114199 47436 19075 279482 185010 58989 35483 28703 28703 34832 34832 323911 241088 47057 35766 81311 19681 669 60961 54959 43930 9264 1765 107437 57643 34771 15023 252727 252144 583 8727 7334 1393 227993 227993 Recruiting 79546 78079 1467 Prof Development 53536 45567 7969 Miscellaneous 15273 14415 406 452 Community Engagement 7158 6064 1094 0 6235 1145 5090 8013520 6251761 1181062 580697 7593 40385 1427260 1972748 345595 632332 298113 760410 241329 151592 138002 112510 112510 0 0 5630486 5599917 7860639 9385123 687674 847373 4333 100000 898500 0 1590507 947373 X 4024334 5717190 2245798 2720560 6270132 8437750 7860639 9385123 X 2289151 -58857 -62676 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 6042700 7428958 4578654 4400912 8490411 30941635 300000 300000 300000 220000 140000 1260000 6342700 7728958 4878654 4620912 8630411 32201635 4552539 27649096 83963 122913 101024 41789 33750 383439 141010 200174 69791 78732 133726 623433 33208507 22322643 0.83260 0.79360 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18490 18490 0 94020 94020 0 0 X 10492056 -58857 140000 108242 189385 10302671 0 10302671 8324438 140000 170918 310918 8013520 0 8013520 Part X, Line 2: The financial statement effects of a tax position taken or expected to be taken are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination.
