Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We need teacher activism if we are to save public education and the teaching profession. However, activism needs theoretical grounding in order to succeed and serve democratic, progressive causes. In this theoretical paper I make the case for post-structuralism as a valuable theoretical resource for building a robust and effective philosophy of praxis for teacher activism. This is accomplished by showing how the post-structuralist works of Foucault and Derrida can help activist teachers deconstruct and de-legitimize oppressive discourses impacting them and their work. In the end I argue that post-structuralism may not be sufficient but could prove necessary for activism.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
