Rooted in our on-the-ground expertise turning schools around and training teachers in the residency model, we offer a variety of different types of client engagements. Each project's scope and fees are tailored to your school, district, organization, or state's needs.

Engagement types include:

• Study tours of AUSL schools (1/2 day to multi-day visits)
• In-person consultation with AUSL expert staff (in Chicago or at your site)
• Professional development and coaching for teachers and school leaders
• Phone conferences and webinars
• Needs assessment and improvement plan consulting
• Intensive onsite technical assistance and implementation support

Engagements are underway with national clients interested in learning about our approach to teacher preparation and school turnaround.   In addition, AUSL is an ISBE-approved lead partner (http://www.isbe.state.il.us/apl/default.htm) for school improvement efforts in Illinois’ persistently lowest achieving schools.  AUSL can offer services as part of SIG grant funding or in conjunction with direct state takeover.
