The turnaround model

• An AUSL turnaround begins with new leaders,
  teachers and staff, additional programs and
  upgraded facilities, resulting in more
  opportunities for Chicagos children.
• This proven method brings in highly qualified
  staff specially trained to work in low-performing
  schools to help meet the specific needs of those
  students.
• Turnarounds have a laser focus on driving student
  learning, providing additional academic support
  in core subjects, implementing a high-quality
  instruction and setting transparent goals for
  schools, staff and students to reach.
