Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Pre-service and in-service professional development for teachers has tended to focus on technique and theory.What often is missing is developing the elusive quality of presence.Yet when we look back on teachers that have had an impact on us it is exactly this quality of presence that has touched us most deeply.With reference to teachers Emerson once wrote: "What we are we teach. . .According to the depth from which you draw our life, such is the depth not only of your strenuous effort but of your manners and your presence."How can we draw depth into our life to nurture our presence as teachers?One possible approach is through contemplative practices such as meditation.(Miller, 1994

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.
