Abstract
The face of education is constantly changing. The traditional classroom with rows of desks facing a chalkboard is being demolished and replaced with movable tables, Smart Boards and laptops, project-based learning, differentiated lessons and more authentic assessment. To be effective and to accommodate a rapidly changing educational system, teachers must be trained and equipped. Regardless of the innovation or change, the process of traveling from a novice to an expert teacher is an ongoing journey which requires adequate training. The question remains as to what is the most effective method of moving teachers along the trajectory from novice to expert. Research has shown how ineffective single “one-off” workshops are at resulting in real change in a teacher’s practice. Effective professional development to develop expertise in any area, however, should allow for sufficient time for practice, collaboration, self-reflection, and constructive feedback.

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
