Abstract
Abstract In this article, the authors use narrative inquiry methodology to engage with one Prekindergarten teacher and three newcomer parents in a Western Canadian school. Interested in addressing the unique learning and social needs of these particular parents and family members, as a way of strengthening parents and families as well as enhancing educational outcomes for children, this research sought new ways to give newcomer parents who are often marginalized on school landscapes a place and a voice. The participants’ storied experiences of their engagement in Parent University, Conversation Circles, a Parent Mentor Program, and the everyday life of the classroom clearly showcase that newcomer children benefit greatly from the engagement and empowerment of their parents, when educators work to interrupt the “schoolcentric” ways of schools and instead create a “familycentric” school landscape.

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
