Abstract
This paper reports on the Interdisciplinary Middle Years Multimedia (IMYM) Climate Change pilot study carried out by Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth (MECY), Province of Manitoba, over the 2003-2004 school year. Fifteen grade 5 pilot teachers were selected from across the province. Participants were provided with various resources, face-to-face professional learning sessions, and an online learning community. This pilot study was based on the IMYM model which blends an interdisciplinary constructivist approach with the integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in an effort to achieve curricular outcomes. Results were derived from the qualitative data of the IMYM pilot teachers’ online reflection journals, threaded discussions and feedback as well as quantitative data from exit slips and rubrics. The pilot study was deemed a success and its findings are relevant to those interested in teacher training, and the integration of ICT into curriculum, teaching, learning, and assessment.

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
