Abstract
The levels of teacher-librarian formal education and training in British Columbia (BC) can vary, from a master’s degree in library and information studies, to teacher-librarianship diploma or teacher-librarianship certificate, to no formal education. There is substantial literature on the significance of having highly qualified, full-time teacher-librarians at schools, but most of the current literature exists outside of BC, and the definition of what highly qualified means is often very vague. This review will explore the existing literature on teacher-librarian qualifications to consider the need for further research into teacher-librarian qualifications in BC—specifically distinguishing how different levels of qualifications correlate with the teacher-librarian’s level of impact on their respective school communities, which could also provide evidence and support for the need for more highly qualified teacher-librarians in BC.

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
