Abstract
The realities of Aboriginal education in Ontario are complex and multi-faceted. After many years of advocacy by Aboriginal leaders, governments and educational authorities are becoming more receptive to Aboriginal education concerns. At the same time, over 42% of 15 to 29 year-olds in Ontario left school with less than a high school education (Aboriginal Peoples Survey, 2001). Even more concerning is evidence that the health of Aboriginal culture continues to decline. A recent Statistics Canada report states that “the proportion of North American Indian children with an Aboriginal mother tongue fell from 9% in 1996 to 7% in 2001” (Aboriginal Peoples Survey, 2001). Aboriginal teachers have a critical role to play in the improvement of Aboriginal education and, particularly, in the preservation and renewal of Aboriginal languages and cultures. Although there is strong evidence that the minority students have higher academic, personal, and social performance when taught by members of their own ethnic group and with culturally responsive approaches (National Collaborative on Diversity in the Teaching Force, 2004), there is little research on the needs of Aboriginal educators. The literature is particularly silent about new Aboriginal teachers’ successes, problems, and the impact of their teacher education programs on their practice. These challenges, particularly the critical need for Aboriginal teachers able to support student learning and contribute to the preservation of their distinct languages and cultures, prompted us to conduct research with new Aboriginal educators.

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
