| Description | Teaching Academies - AUSL's seven training academies are CPS neighborhood schools managed by AUSL serving over 3,700 students. The training academies are also the site of AUSL's Chicago Teacher Residency Program which prepares new, quality teachers using an innovative urban teacher residency based on an intense, full-year apprenticeship of learning and practice with a mentor teacher at one of AUSL's teaching academies. During the program, residents earn their Illinois teaching certification and a master's degree through a partnership with National Louis University. Upon completion of the program, AUSL-trained teachers are placed in turnaround schools to create a cohort of teachers prepared to change the culture of a chronically failing Chicago public school. Over the past decade, AUSL has trained over 500 resident teachers and 78% are still working in Chicago schools. | Description |

| Description | Turnaround Schools - AUSL turns around chronically failing Chicago public schools through a disciplined transformation process built on a foundation of staffing the school with a critical mass of specially trained AUSL teachers. The Board of Education of Chicago Public Schools (CPS) selects failing schools in need of critical transformation and contracts with AUSL to manage the turnaround process on their behalf. To lead the transformation process AUSL recommends a principal for CPS to hire. AUSL plays a pivotal role in supporting the principal in bringing on a team of teachers, many of whom are graduates of AUSL's teacher training program as well as providing new curriculum, after schools programs and other critical resources to the school which directly impact school improvement and student success. AUSL turnaround schools offer students and their families a new start after years, even decades of chronic failure. The new school leadership team and highly qualified staff bring the talent, resources and belief in students' abilities needed to get the school back on track. A new climate and culture of success at the school is based on high expectations for student achievement and the belief that all children can learn. In 2011-12, AUSL served almost 7,000 students in 12 schools. Overall, the CPS schools turned around by AUSL have demonstrated consistent yearly improvement in state testing standards which far exceed other CPS high poverty, high needs schools. | Description |
