Abstract
How and under what conditions can a counter-hegemonic pedagogy, that is, a pedagogy that is qualitatively distinct from the dominant institutional culture and power relations of schooling, be brought to scale? This paper addresses this question by using the Learning Community Project (LCP) in Mexico as a case study. LCP started in 2004 as a grassroots initiative to promote a pedagogy of tutorial relationships of dialogue and reciprocal learning. This practice disseminated across hundreds of schools in five years and, in 2009, it inspired the creation of a nation-wide strategy to radically transform teaching and learning in nine thousand schools across Mexico. By integrating theory and knowledge on instructional improvement and widespread cultural change, this paper examines the role of a critical community in developing a counterhegemonic pedagogy, and the strategies and conditions that enabled its dissemination in the social, political, and pedagogical arenas.

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
