The program is based in neighborhood Chicago Public Schools (CPS) managed by AUSL. During the program, residents take Master's level coursework, earn a degree from a university partner, and become eligible for an Illinois educator license (if not already licensed). Upon completion of the program, as teachers in CPS schools, the graduates become part of a growing resource of specially trained teachers prepared to dramatically improve chronically underperforming Chicago Public Schools. As of June 2017, AUSL has trained over 1000 teacher residents committed to teaching in high-poverty areas in Chicago. AUSL continues to provide teacher professional development for teachers across the AUSL network of 31 schools, including individualized coaching and school-based, network-wide professional development programs. These highly effective teachers serve over 16,000 students. 6071767 2845395 School Management - The Board of Education of Chicago Public Schools selects failing schools in need of critical transformation and contracts with AUSL to manage the process on its behalf. AUSL executes a rigorous, comprehensive and proven whole-school restart model that has become a national model for reform. The transformation begins with new requirements of school leadership and staff, additional after-school programs, and training. The transformation is further supported with AUSL management services which include curriculum development, performance management, teacher development, curricular enhancements, as well as assistance with parental involvement and community initiatives. A new climate and culture of success at the school is based on high expectations for student achievement. Overall, the CPS schools managed by AUSL have demonstrated outstanding and consistent improvement in student gains and student outcomes. 195369 108000 Advisory services - AUSL shares its expertise and experience in improving chronically failing schools and training highly effective teachers with other school districts. Through its advisory services, AUSL offers the tools, framework, and coaching for transformative teacher development and school management. 22470 22470 13593222 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 50 0 1 187 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 28 27 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 IL X Amy Kitzmiller 7735340143 3400 N Austin Avenue Chicago IL 60634 Donald Feinstein Executive Dir/Secretary 40.00 X X 189763 0 257 Martin Koldyke Chair Emeritus 10.00 X 0 0 0 Gary McCullough Chairman 4.50 X X 0 0 0 Michael Zafirovski Vice Chairman 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Merrick Axel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Begy Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 David Chandler Director 1.50 X 0 0 0 John Cook Director 4.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Doyal Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Craig Goesel Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert E King Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 William Lutz Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Nivine Megahed Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth W Miller Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Anthony Miller Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lou Nieto Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 Charlie Rose Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 Linsey Rubenstein Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Manuel Sanchez Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Carmita Semaan Director 1.50 X 0 0 0 Benjamin Shapiro Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Cardelle Spangler Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Dr Louis Stern Director 6.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Strobel Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Warnock Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 John Blazey Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 James Cowie Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Macdonald Managing Director, Strateg 40.00 X 175998 0 8415 Jarvis Sanford Managing Director, Network 40.00 X 220000 0 20747 Michael Whitmore Managing Director, Teachin 40.00 X 172644 0 8233 Shana Hayes Managing Director, Externa 40.00 X 180007 0 7350 Angel Turner Director of Student Achiev 40.00 X 154550 0 255 Anise Lewis Director of School Leadership 40.00 X 150938 0 2591 Maureen White Director of Student Achiev 40.00 X 153753 0 1870 Keisha Campbell Director of Student Achiev 40.00 X 134345 0 19187 Amy Kitzmiller Director of Finance 40.00 X 132773 0 501 1664771 0 69406 14 0 1 0 0 583716 1069755 2518957 16467 4172428 CPS Program Funding 900099 6445395 6445395 Advisory Services 900099 108000 108000 6553395 55420 55420 1376083 1377214 -1131 -1131 -1131 49500 583716 150791 -101291 -101291 Other income 900099 22470 22470 22470 10701291 6575865 0 -47002 1892807 1892807 1143730 468518 464317 210895 8244614 7830326 193905 220383 187542 129127 48939 9476 430062 328301 64617 37144 93802 93802 34243 34243 50000 50000 406241 223871 77417 104953 49741 30994 18747 67102 49896 11938 5268 102848 78098 18053 6697 149483 136733 5292 7458 27945 26365 203 1377 1997 1997 167657 167657 Curr. enhancements 1571896 1571896 Prof Development 701136 701136 Recruiting 61844 60858 868 118 Community Engagement 43621 43487 134 21970 18812 549 2609 15450281 13593222 1181800 675259 424431 57120 5691158 4406573 6462204 3890622 750312 176625 530754 207036 175334 168843 1997 6491 4731398 4797159 80554 32525 18672808 13574151 678543 665853 20000 14000 698543 679853 X 8132975 7150256 9841290 5744042 17974265 12894298 18672808 13574151 -4748990 23 -331000 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 11363305 12988188 6834692 11875861 4172428 47234474 99000 120000 200000 200000 200000 819000 11462305 13108188 7034692 12075861 4372428 48053474 12611063 35442411 26129 33377 50279 61847 55420 227052 390134 393815 76725 46380 71970 979024 49259550 59273246 0.71950 0.69970 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 50000 0 0 50000 0 Part II-B, Line 1: Provide information to state legislators on education reform topics. 37573 37573 0 137761 131270 6491 6491 X 10901314 23 200000 200023 10701291 0 10701291 15650281 200000 200000 15450281 0 15450281 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.
