Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Community Ideas Factory: The Life Skills Project is an academic-community collaboration addressing a need for innovative life skills programming (LSP). Using a community-engaged and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion-based research design, an online and interactive program was created. The Life Skills Program responds to and challenges community and scholarly critiques of how LSP is typically conceptualized by arguing for a social emancipatory transformative learning approach. This approach engenders a dual focus on non-formal education , which seeks to socialize and prepare learners to participate within the status quo and popular education , which seeks to disrupt it. Through this conceptual argument, we position The Life Skills Program within the “critical turn” in the life skills literature, which reimagines programming through a transformative lens.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
