Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Based on a real program evaluation conducted in 2004, this article attempts to challenge conventional notions of evaluation as an empirical assessment of discrete measurable outputs and focus instead on the vision or active spirit of a community program. Working towards creation of an open and accessible community school to serve as a safe and trusted service centre for families at risk in downtown Whitehorse, Yukon, the Whole Child Project (WCP) has operated out of Whitehorse Elementary School since 2001. Encountering this program in its unique and isolated setting, and hearing first-hand accounts from the founders, participants, and community led the evaluator to a qualitative approach that allowed for expression of their vision and experiences through their stories – capturing the active spirit of the WCP rather than its objective benchmarks. This article explores the rationale, process, results, and impact of this re-imagined evaluation.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

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.
