Abstract
The world is highly occulocentric, in which vision in terms of access is placed above all other senses. Visual materials such as worksheets, maps, graphics, illustrations, videos, and written texts are the standard tools for learning, making access challenging for students with visual impairments (VI). Students with VI contend daily with a system that is not inherently designed for them. Teachers of students with visual impairments (TSVI) are specialized, credentialed, and highly qualified educators who provide avenues for the access needs of a student with VI. Beyond ensuring equitable access to academics, their next area of focus is the expanded core curriculum (ECC), which is a disability-specific curriculum consisting of nine essential skill areas supporting the holistic development of students with VI. However, supporting the development of all children relies on effective collaboration and open communication among educational teams to be truly impactful.

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
