Abstract
This opinion piece discusses educational developer portfolios that have cross-disciplinary or cross-service area reporting structure and responsibilities within an institution. It will outline some of the common barriers for these kinds of portfolios and highlight how often these barriers can be built into the administrative structures that already exist at an institution. It also suggests ways that reporting and administrative structures could help support a more holistic view of pedagogical development with more intentionality in the design of the role, that in turn will support a trauma-informed approach to this work, because without intentional support, cross-disciplinary roles can create trauma responses in educational developers. The piece ends with three recommendations that can be put in place to help support success and mitigate some of the tensions found for those who are in these types of cross-disciplinary roles.

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
