SpecialEduBench - Skill: leaderboard

The skill axis of SpecialEduBench (Na et al., 2026): a vision-language model watches a recorded intervention clip and writes the next teaching response under one of eight naturalistic strategies such as expansion, recast, mand-model or time delay. An LLM judge aligned to expert reference scores rates each response on a 1 to 10 rubric, and the board is the mean over the eight strategies; higher is better.

Metric: Mean rubric score on a 1 to 10 scale, macro-averaged over eight teaching strategies (25 free-response items each, grounded in recorded intervention clips given as frames; judged at temperature 0 against the rubric by an LLM judge aligned to expert reference scores (the paper names gemma-4-31b-it and qwen3.6-27b as its two judges and reports the second only in the text)). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around February 2027. 8 models tracked.
