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 2016, AUSL has trained over 950 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 32 schools, including individualized coaching and school-based, network-wide professional development programs. These highly effective teachers serve over 17,000 students. 7380393 2984310 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 leadership, additional after-school programs, and new staff, many of whom may be trained by AUSL to teach in chronically failing urban schools. 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. 195871 76490 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. 15580 15580 16694253 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 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 52 0 1 305 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 28 27 0 0 1 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 Director/Secreta 40.00 X X 237057 0 383 Dominic Belmonte Director 5.00 X 0 0 0 David Chandler Director 1.50 X 0 0 0 William Hobert Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 William J Lutz Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Robert E King Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Martin Koldyke Chairman Emeritus 10.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth W Miller Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Rose Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 Dr Louis W Stern Director 6.00 X 0 0 0 John Cook Chairman 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Eric Strobel Director 6.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Nivine Megahed Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Shapiro Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carmita Vaughan Director 1.50 X 0 0 0 Todd Warnock Director 0.25 X 0 0 0 Mike Zafirovski Vice Chairman 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Gary McCullough Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Cardelle B Spangler Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Linsey Rubenstein Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Doyal Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Begy Director 0.75 X 0 0 0 Ana Dutra Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Miller Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Merrick Axel Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Reverend Dr W W Matthews Sr Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Lou Nieto Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Macdonald Managing Director, Strateg 40.00 X 199604 0 8810 Jarvis Sanford Managing Director, Network 40.00 X 191887 0 25249 Michael Whitmore Managing Director, Teachin 40.00 X 185037 0 9097 Shana Hayes Managing Director, Externa 40.00 X 218427 0 8020 Angel Turner Director of Student Acheivement 40.00 X 153308 0 224 Debra Moriarty Director of Student Achiev 40.00 X 158951 0 221 Maureen White Director of Student Achiev 40.00 X 145384 0 9072 Keisha Campbell Director of Student Achiev 40.00 X 154218 0 34239 Amy Kitzmiller Director of Finance 40.00 X 133566 0 722 1777439 0 96037 13 0 1 0 Achievement Network 225 Friend St Suite 704 Boston MA 02114 Student Assessment Support 780579 Erikson Institute 3755 Paysphere Circle Chicago IL 60674 Professional Development 134750 Mena Tours & Travel 5209 N Clark St Chicago IL 60640 COnference Travel 102822 3 764927 1176247 9934687 131681 11875861 CPS Program Funding 900099 7924310 7924310 Advisory Services 900099 76490 76490 8000800 61847 61847 1335131 1472317 -137186 -137186 -137186 30800 764927 146228 -115428 -115428 Other income 900099 15580 15580 15580 19701474 8016380 0 -190767 1058714 431333 432581 194800 12568626 12032568 318400 217658 389996 360733 21611 7652 684166 565315 92001 26850 53169 53169 34276 34276 62500 62500 342362 241398 33561 67403 9999 9913 86 58183 40920 10853 6410 115794 77660 33402 4732 318837 291405 8017 19415 72392 69050 1677 1665 8300 1997 6303 164599 164599 Curr. enhancements 2297051 2297051 Community Engagement 117035 110188 6847 Miscellaneous 76297 61670 601 14026 Recruiting 57989 56858 1131 63416 46194 5156 12066 18553701 16694253 1211035 648413 85360 424431 4100888 5691158 5254556 6462204 3070417 750312 310005 530754 168843 166846 10296 1997 4648092 4731398 28383 80554 17507997 18672808 690951 678543 29575 20000 720526 698543 X 8176515 8132975 8610956 9841290 16787471 17974265 17507997 18672808 1147773 39021 0 X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 8056462 11363305 12988188 6834692 11875861 51118508 99000 99000 120000 200000 200000 718000 8155462 11462305 13108188 7034692 12075861 51836508 14745377 37091131 35971 26129 33377 50279 61847 207603 222257 336134 353815 39225 15580 967011 53011122 60210078 0.69970 0.80230 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 62500 0 0 62500 0 Part II-B, Line 1: Provide information to state legislators on education reform topics. 37573 35576 1997 131270 131270 0 1997 X 19940494 39020 200000 239020 19701474 0 19701474 18753700 200000 200000 18553700 0 18553700 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.
