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 National Louis University, 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 2014, AUSL has trained 750 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 18,000 students. 8853860 5528180 Turnaround Schools - The Board of Education of Chicago Public Schools selects failing schools in need of critical transformation and contracts with AUSL to manage the turnaround process on its behalf. AUSL executes a rigorous, comprehensive and proven whole-school turnaround model that has become a national model for reform. The transformation begins with new leadership, additional after-school programs, newly renovated facilities, and new staff, many of whom were trained by AUSL to teach in chronically failing urban schools. The transformation is further supported with AUSL turnaround management which includes 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 consistent yearly improvement in state testing standards, outperforming similar CPS neighborhood schools and district averages. 301704 628050 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. 20422791 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 1 305 0 1 473 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 31 30 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 Director/Secreta 40.00 X X 185885 0 451 Merrick Axel Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 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 Michael Keiser Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Robert E King Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Martin Koldyke Chairman Emeritus 12.00 X 0 0 0 Walter W Matthews Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Nneka Rimmer Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Kenneth W Miller Treasurer 3.00 X X 0 0 0 Charlie Rose Director 0.50 X 0 0 0 Greg Simoncini Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Louis W Stern Director 4.00 X 0 0 0 John Cook Chairman 6.00 X X 0 0 0 Kay Torshen Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Strobel Director 6.00 X 0 0 0 Dr Nivine Megahed Director 4.00 X 0 0 0 Ben Shapiro Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Gail Ward Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carmita Vaughan Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Warnock Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Mike Zafirovski Vice Chairman 5.00 X 0 0 0 Gary McCullough Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Quintin E Primo III Director 1.00 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 3.00 X 0 0 0 Ana Dutra Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Anthony Miller Director 3.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sachs Director 2.00 X 0 0 0 Christine Cole Managing Director, Strategy 40.00 X 149777 0 740 Scott Macdonald Managing Director, Strategy 40.00 X 3344 0 52 Brian Sims Managing Director, Trainin 40.00 X 176618 0 227 Jarvis Sanford Managing Director, Element 40.00 X 163716 0 21515 Shana Hayes Managing Director, Externa 40.00 X 177795 0 8037 Michael Whitmore Dir.
