Sites of resistance: disability and inclusion in Canadian K-12 education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
If there was a country called disabled, I would be from there. (Frazee, 2023, p. xv) Ableism in Canadian K–12 education remains pervasive. As a site of resistance, this research explores the ways in which ableism is manifest in schools while offering recommendations for transformative praxis. This research is comprised of an autoethnography, policy analysis, and case study as a manuscript-style dissertation. Overall, these three research studies contribute to the continued rupture of ableism and disability marginalization in Canadian K–12 schools. Most importantly, this dissertation contributes to a growing understanding that there is nothing wrong with being disabled or being part of the disability community (Kafai, 2021). Concurrent themes that flow through this dissertation include: the importance of voice, equitable representation, empowerment, knowledge, identity, and calls for transformation. This research seeks to contribute to the field of inclusive education and critical disability studies in Canada.

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.
