Abstract
We report results from a school-randomized trial examining the impacts of a targeted-instruction program (“Teaching at the Right Level”) in Côte d’Ivoire implemented by teachers (N=167 schools, 303 teachers, 3,808 students). The program increased literacy and numeracy outcomes measured by learning levels (d=0.16 and 0.28) and had smaller marginally statistically significant impacts on functional literacy and numeracy skills (d=0.10 and 0.08). Improvements in learning outcomes were concentrated amongst children at the bottom of the distribution, with no statistically significant improvements in higher levels of learning. Examination of potential mechanisms through quantitative and qualitative data highlighted the importance of distinguishing between fluency and decoding or computational skills, the role of teacher knowledge, and barriers and enablers to quality implementation.

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
