EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TEACHER AND ADMINISTRATOR POST BILL-160
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In 1997, the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris enacted the controversial Bill 160, The Education Quality Improvement Act which ultimately amended the Education Act and among other changes to public education, removed school level administrators from teachers’ Federations as was already the case in several other Canadian provinces. In the decade that followed, teachers and administrators have had to find ways to work together in an effective manner, despite challenging shifts in the political climate in their schools. In this research, I conducted semi-structured interviews with retired school administrators who had worked as administrators prior to and post Bill 160. I asked them how they perceived their relationship with teachers had shifted their leadership practice. In general, the removal of the administrators from the teachers’ Federation did not cause the calamity that many predicted would befall public education. However the administrators in this study found new ways to work with teachers within the rules that were established by Bill 160.

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.
