Abstract
In 1991, a needs assessment was conducted by the Southern Alberta Professional Development Consortium to determine teachers preferences for topics of professional development. Eighty-eight percent of 3000 teachers chose "Student Motivation" as their number one choice. This study and its questionnaire were specifically designed to accomplish two objectives: (1) to refine the general request for "Student Motivation" topic into specific topics desired by teachers, and (2) to gain some clarity on how teachers (in what formats) want to have this professional development delivered. Teachers in this study revealed their general preference for learning about student motivation in a collaborative manner. However, a more formal (institutional) classroom-like format was desired for some specific problems. There was evidence that teachers were not just choosing learning methods based on patterns associated with adult learners, but also in response to specific problems (without seeming to adhere to adult norms). Recommendations for both facilitators of professional development as well as those who are to be receiving it are included.

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
