Abstract
As participants in the Lincoln Center Institute (LCI) Teacher Education Collaborative (TEC) in aesthetic education, based on the work of philosopher Maxine Greene, we use inquiry-driven engagemen t with works of art to open our minds and hearts to imagining the world as if it could be otherwise.LCI teaching artist and teacher educator plan the experiential class that precedes engagement with the performance (or exhibit)and develop an overriding question to guide the experience.Additional questions grow out of our shared inquiry, comments, discussion, reflections, and research during or after engagement with the work of art.Mind, body, and imagination are involved during the experiential class to prepare students for the inquiry-driven engagement.In this paper I share my experience, as a teacher-educator, and that of my teacher education students as participants in inquiry-driven engagement with a number of works of art.In particular, I focus on inqu.iry-drivenengagement with a performance featuring internationally known storyteller and singer, David Gonzalez, whose work grows out of his Puerto Rican heritage.The overriding questions in my inquiry into this experience ask if and how song, when viewed through the eyes of a participant in aesthetic education, can lead to discoveries about ourselves, others, our teaching and learning, and the world.Can song be a catalyst for change, for teaching for equity and social justice? Contextual BackgroundThe context of my teaching and participation in the aesthetic education collaborativeThe demography of North America is changing as immigrant populations continue to come to Canada and the US.Moves within cultures can be difficult; moves across cultures can be even more challenging.Such moves often position people as the other in society and deny them equality of opportunity.Even within mainstream society, some members are subjected to biases and prejudices.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
