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 2021, AUSL has graduated over 1,150 teacher residents trained and committed to working in high-needs areas of Chicago. 2588212 859899 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 progress" 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." 1133646 1000833 Advisory services - AUSL partners with school districts committed to building their capacity to find, grow, and retain a diverse, high-quality teacher force that transforms schools at scale by providing consistent access to equitable, high-quality learning experiences. 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, teacher residency program development, holistic teacher development program design and implementation, and school leadership coaching. Advisory Services remains grounded in social justice, equality, and high expectations for every student. 78732 78732 7991771 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 50 0 1 59 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 21 21 1 0 1 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 Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Shapiro Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Doyal Director 6.00 X 0 0 0 Cardelle Spangler Co-chair 0.50 X X 0 0 0 Carmita Semaan Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Charlie Rose Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cheri Carter Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Goesel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 David Chandler Vice Chair 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Elizabeth Lefkofsky Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Eric Strobel Director 4.00 X 0 0 0 Greg Wasson Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Jodl Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 James Cowie Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 John Cook Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph Flanagan Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth W Miller Finance Committee Chair 3.50 X 0 0 0 Lindsey Axel Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Manuel Sanchez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Martin Koldyke Chair Emeritus 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Zafirovski Co-chair 8.00 X X 0 0 0 Munu Ghandi Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Raj Vora Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Robert E King Director 8.00 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 Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Amy Kitzmiller Treasurer/Director of Finance 40.00 X 144988 0 4392 Donald Feinstein Executive Director 40.00 X 205717 0 3001 Scott Macdonald Secretary/Managing Director, Strategy & Operations 40.00 X 189125 0 14934 Jarvis Sanford Managing Director, School Management 40.00 X 208987 0 25200 Martin Green General Manager, Advisory Services 40.00 X 165167 0 7040 Michael Whitmore Managing Director, Teaching and Learning 40.00 X 203510 0 7149 Shane Caterino Managing Director, External Relations 40.00 X 180000 0 3004 Annise Lewis Chief of Schools 40.00 X 157114 0 7061 Cynthia Brunswick Director, Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher De 40.00 X 153462 0 7652 Keisha Campbell Director of Student Achievement 40.00 X 174485 0 32100 Tosha Jackson Deputy Chief of Schools 40.00 X 164335 0 32280 Christopher G Childers Chief Marketing Officer 40.00 X 120000 0 2416 2066890 0 146229 15 0 1 0 COLLEGIS LLC 1415 WEST 22ND STREET SUITE 400 OAK BROOK IL 60523 Develop Online learning tools 130210 1 1377195 938711 2085006 10508 4400912 CPS Program Funding 900099 3038285 3038285 Advisory Services 900099 1000833 1000833 4039118 41789 41789 260000 259510 490 490 490 0 1377195 75267 -75267 -75267 Other income 900099 78732 78732 78732 8485774 4117850 0 -32988 830424 830424 1509708 1509708 1335868 729008 447215 159645 4792915 3889280 574482 329153 227893 161115 29047 37731 327267 221576 62186 43505 28525 28525 34279 34279 315790 294660 20030 1100 48841 20634 28207 51570 33649 7313 10608 146849 76287 55075 15487 38493 38348 77 68 21491 19659 1482 350 541 541 229779 229779 Recruiting 58575 57999 576 Prof Development 46868 45904 964 Public relations 44259 44259 Community Engagement 26500 24678 546 1276 38714 38301 413 10155149 7991771 1491989 671389 115256 7593 1684855 1427260 1802941 345595 284746 298113 222277 151592 112510 112510 541 0 5578055 5630486 9688671 7860639 521454 687674 89750 4333 898500 898500 1509704 1590507 X 4321424 4024334 3857543 2245798 8178967 6270132 9688671 7860639 X -1669375 2555 -242015 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4172428 6042700 7428958 4578654 4400912 26623652 200000 300000 300000 300000 220000 1320000 4372428 6342700 7728958 4878654 4620912 27943652 5001466 22942186 55420 83963 122913 101024 41789 405109 71970 141010 200174 69791 78732 561677 28910438 24018018 0.79360 0.76620 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 18490 18490 0 94020 94020 0 0 X 8780095 2555 220000 71766 294321 8485774 0 8485774 10688930 220000 313781 533781 10155149 0 10155149 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.
