Abstract
This essay considers the meanings, operations, and effects on educational life of hegemonic wellness, a term the author coins to capture a recurring discourse emerging from his recent seminar work with a group of graduate students. Hegemonic wellness refers to a developing school movement aimed at positioning neo-liberal ‘wellness’ discourses as the most socially valued means of making sense of an educator’s workplace health. It constructs notions of healing and care as radically individualist pursuits, deeply anti-communitarian in theory and practice, and best positioned to serve existing power structures rather than to contest them. In naming and contesting hegemonic wellness, the author expects that teachers may find a language of recognition, affirmation, and contestation that can come to bear upon their practices.

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
