Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

all the people working in an education system, teachers play the most important role, since it is they who instruct students everyday and have a direct impact on students' cognitive and affective development. It is not an exaggeration to say that a school's success ultimately depends on its teachers. A study by the Canadian Teachers' Federation revealed that the majority of Canadian teachers felt proud to be teachers, would choose teaching as a career again if they had a second chance, and considered teaching a very worthwhile job. The same study also revealed that over half of the teachers felt that the financial rewards in teaching were satisfactory.1 Like all the other people working in schools, teachers need to be recruited, inducted and compensated. Because the success of a school depends on its teachers, the recruitment of teachers is crucial. In addition, as governments in Canada have been under the pressure of economic constraint that affects the funding of public schools,2 and as the general public's demand for public schools' accountability persists,3 the recruitment and selection of teachers has received more attention.4

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.
