Confronting Anti-Asian Racism in Canadian Schools
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This research, grounded in Asian Critical Theory (AsianCrit), sheds light on the experiences of Asian educators and students within a large district school board in Ontario, Canada. Through a mixed-methods approach, involving surveys and focus groups conducted in Fall 2022, data was collected from over 1,300 Asian-identifying respondents including students in Grades 7 to 12, teachers, and administrators. Data analysis identified three major findings: (a) the need for empowering Asian representation in the curriculum; (b) the lack of belonging in schools, and; (c) the underrepresentation of diverse Asian identities among staff, especially in senior leadership positions. This research addresses a significant gap in the Canadian literature examining anti-Asian racism in schools and through a series of recommendations advocates for more equitable and inclusive educational environments.

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.
