[2026-2027] Lead Teacher - Middle School
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: About KIPP NYC (organization description) - maybe treat as "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is generic; but we have "About KIPP NYC" which is about organization. Could map to "About the role"? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings based on content. We have:
- About KIPP NYC (organization) - could be "About the role"? Not exactly. But we could use "About the role" to contain the description of the role (position overview). The posting includes "Position Overview:" which describes role. So we can put that under About the role
.
- Duties and Responsibilities: list.
- Qualifications: list.
- Additional Information includes Compensation and Benefits: we have Pay (salary range) and Benefits details. So we need separate sections for Pay and Benefits if content exists. Also maybe Schedule? Not present. So we omit Schedule.
We also have "Additional Information" includes other notes (relocation, visa, EEO). Those are boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop the relocation note, visa sponsorship note, EEO statement. Also drop "This description is intended to describe the type of work..." etc? That's generic boilerplate; maybe remove. Also "If you relocate..." etc. Also "KIPP NYC LLC does not offer visa sponsorship..." etc. Also EEO statements. So we keep only substantive info: organization description, position overview, duties/responsibilities, qualifications, compensation, benefits.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact text for duties, qualifications, compensation, benefits.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to avoid headings with filler text. So we will produce:
About the role
Position Overview: KIPP NYC is looking for teachers who combine the ability to motivate and educate, to develop academic as well as character skills, and to make a college preparatory education relevant both now and for the future.
But we also have the "About KIPP NYC" paragraph before that. Should we include that? It's about organization, not role. Could be part of About the role? Might be better to include as a separate section like "About KIPP NYC". But the instruction only gave examples of headings; not limited to those. It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those headings. So we can incorporate the About KIPP NYC description into About the role section as prose.
Thus About the role section will contain both the organization description and position overview. That's okay.
