The first five: A short story inquiry into the beginning years of teaching
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This thesis uses narrative inquiry to explore the plight of new teachers in the Qubec school system through the eyes of the writer.The six short stories advance through time along the lines of the researcher's career to provide cohesion and coherence.The goal, therefore of this work is to provide a silent sounding board for new teachers as they explore the writer's exploits in teaching during the time of researcher's tenure as an ESL teacher.It is to be understood that the writer and researcher are the same physical being but are guided by different forces.The writer seeks to tells stories and write creatively while the researcher navigates through the tales using tenets of narrative inquiry:Commonplaces and the Curriculum of Place.It is my hope that these stories will help new teachers to stay in the profession and have a long and fruitful career.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
