Abstract
Educators must attend carefully to personal beliefs in order to lessen the perpetuation of harmful norms occurring in schools and schooling. Our purpose here is to focus on how a particular process of creating poetry influences disruptive encounters, such as homophobia and privilege, thus working to change long held patterned ways of knowing. The type of poetry described is rooted in the philosophy of Transformative Inquiry (TI). Where poems are not pat answers, but unravelings and reweavings of enduring educational concerns. In poetry we see an elixir of mystery and certainty, a powerful orienting towards the pain of others: we are changed, and in turn, we change our teaching. TI poetry is a powerful act, permeating the boundary between professional and personal, calling forth the textures of being which sculpt our dispositions both in life and in practice so that educators may respond with integrity to the needs of students.

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
