Health and Wellness: Building Resilience in Deaf Bilingual Classrooms
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Providing high quality health education programs in elementary schools has many benefits for students. It teaches students to be independent, allows students to focus more on their academics, and empowers students to live healthier lifestyles (CDC website, 2016). Unfortunately, there are no comprehensive physical and mental health curriculum available in American Sign Language that meet the needs of a wide variety of D/HH students. My curriculum titled “Health and Wellness: Building Resilience in Deaf Bilingual Classrooms'' is designed from a bilingual-bicultural lens and consists of two units. The first unit addresses how best to treat our bodies with good exercise and nutrition, and the second focuses on managing our mental health. The three curriculum goals include increasing vocabulary and content knowledge of health concepts in both ASL and English; practicing critical thinking skills to manage health; and setting health goals through writing in journals and recording ASL videos. The curriculum was implemented at the Washington School for the Deaf (WSD) in Vancouver, Washington from May 4, 2021 through June 10, 2021 in a 4th grade, in-person classroom with eight students. Findings from four different types of evidence (pre/post tests, teacher observations, student videos and student artifacts) show that despite being unable to complete the entire curriculum due to Covid-19 restrictions, students benefited from an enhanced understanding of health terms and concepts in ASL as well as a greater awareness of establishing health goals and using critical thinking skills to make healthier choices. \n

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.
