Abstract
This article explores seconded teachers' experiences as university instructors and faculty advisors in the Faculty of Education at the University of British Columbia. Data were collected in three one-hour semistructured interviews with each of the 17 participants. The purpose of the study was to understand more clearly the experiences of seconded teachers in the teacher education program through the use of Glaser and Strauss's (1967) grounded theory approach. Seven phases or aspects of secondment are outlined: seeking the position; preparing for secondment; expressing self-doubts; adjusting to the tempo and workload; working with adult learners; looking for support; and returning to the school community. Overall, the themes that emerged in this research highlight five central issues: the contrast between university and school cultures; the value of reflection on practice; the strength of seconded teachers' commitment to classroom teaching; the stability and nature of seconded teachers' professional identities; and the usefulness of secondment as professional development.
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 machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
