Overview
The Academy for Urban School Leadership (AUSL) is a non-profit that recruits, trains, and supports new teachers in underinvested communities to ensure every student has a great teacher and a transformative education. Through our nationally recognized teacher residency, we develop high-quality, passionate educators in hard-to-fill subject areas. Founded in Chicago, IL, AUSL became the first urban teacher residency in 2001 and the nation’s first in-district innovation zone in 2006. Looking ahead, AUSL is entering into a period of rapid expansion as we work to address the nation’s critical teacher shortage.
