Abstract
The Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College holds a collection of 16,000 items, about a quarter of which belong to the Native American Collection. Many of these items are seen weekly by local third grade students as part of the Benton's Third Grade Education Outreach Program. Though the program has been in use for many years and changed throughout, there is still a lot that must change in order to clarify the intentions for the program for both interns and the students. Through personal experience as an Education Outreach intern, discussions with museum professionals, and reviewing relevant literature, Wu-Cardona has written about the history of the items, reflections on teaching with and about them, and compared the Benton's practices to two other museums: the Autry Museum of the West and the National Museum of the American Indian. They conclude with a list of recommendations for the Benton including building and keeping relationships with local Tongva/Gablrielino tribal members, repatriation of the belongings previously scheduled for repatriation, public acknowledgement of funerary belongings, more training and open discussion for interns on Native history and relationship to museums, and connecting Native American political and social issues to art.

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
