We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Job Summary, Essential Duties, Other Duties, Job Specifications (Minimum Qualifications), Working Conditions And Physical Requirements, Work Environment, Supervision Exercised/Received, etc. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings where appropriate. The instruction: "use
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings where appropriate. The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when we have content. We need to include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. We should not create sections like Pay, Schedule, Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting does not mention pay, schedule, benefits explicitly. It mentions compensation link but not details. So we should not include Pay, Benefits, Schedule sections.
We need sections: About the role (maybe Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Duties + Other Duties), Requirements/Qualifications (Job Specifications Minimum Qualifications), Skills (maybe abilities), maybe Working Conditions? Not in list but we could still use headings like Working Conditions? The instruction says use those headings as examples, but we can also use other headings? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect us to use those headings only. But we can also use other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those. We have content for About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Duties + Other Duties). Requirements (Job Specifications). Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Skills (abilities like communication, relationships). We could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are separate headings. Might be okay to have both if content distinct.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list duties as - . For responsibilities, we need to include all essential duties and other duties. That's a lot; we need to preserve all. We'll need to extract each duty sentence.
Let's parse the posting.

We'll create sections:
About the role

Responsibilities
- Teaches content and skills in mathematics utilizing curriculum designated by Newport News Public Schools and other appropriate learning
... etc.
We need to ensure we include all duties exactly as in text, preserving punctuation. Some sentences are truncated due to line breaks; we need to keep as given.
Let's copy each duty exactly as appears in the posting.
From Essential Duties block:
"Teaches content and skills in mathematics utilizing curriculum designated by Newport News Public Schools and other appropriate learning"
"Instructs students in citizenship and basic subject matter specified in state law and administrative regulations and procedures of Newport News Public"
"Develops lesson plans and supplementary materials compatible with the division’s basic instructional philosophy and congruent with course / SOL"
"Adapts the curriculum to provide individual, small group, or remedial instruction to meet the needs of the individual student and the needs of identified subgroups of"
"Evaluates academic and social growth of students, prepares report cards, and keeps appropriate records to include attendance reports, checklists, census forms, and other recordkeeping activities as"
"Evaluates each student’s progress meeting the course standards in mathematical knowledge and"
"Establishes and maintains standards of student behavior needed to provide an orderly, productive classroom"
"Identifies student needs and cooperates with other professional staff members in assessing and helping students solve learning, health and attitude"
"Communicates with parents and school counselors on student"
"Supervise students in assigned out-of-class activities during the working"
"Participates in faculty committees and the sponsorship of student"
"Administers testing in accordance with division testing"
"Models nondiscriminatory practices in all (These are intended only as illustrations of the various types of work performed. The omission of specific duties does not exclude them from the position if the work is similar, related, or a logical assignment to the position.)"
Note the last one includes parenthetical note. We should keep it as is.
Other Duties:
"Maintains professional competence by attending staff development programs, curriculum development meetings and other professional activities."
"Participates in various student and parent activities that occur in school including PTA, student clubs and after-school activities."
"Creates an effective learning environment through functional and attractive displays, bulletin boards, and activity/learning centers."
"Performs any other related duties as assigned by the Principal or other appropriate administrator."
Now Job Specifications: we could put under Requirements or Qualifications. The heading "Requirements" could contain the Job Specifications paragraph. Then "Qualifications" could contain Minimum Qualifications.
Skills: we could list the abilities: communication, relationships.
But we might combine Skills into Qualifications? However we have separate headings.
We need to avoid thin sections. If we put Skills with just two items, maybe okay.
Let's decide:
Requirements
To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities, who are otherwise qualified, to perform the essential functions.
Qualifications
- Must possess a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in education or a related field and meet the Virginia Department of Education licensure eligibility requirements to teach mathematics.
- Must be eligible for, or in possession or an appropriate Virginia teaching license.
- Must possess ability to communicate effectively verbally and in writing.
- Must possess the ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with students, staff, parents, & the public.
We could also add a Skills section but maybe not needed; the abilities are already in Qualifications. Could omit Skills to avoid thin section. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can skip Skills.
We also have Working Conditions And Physical Requirements and Work Environment and Supervision. Those are not in the example headings but could be included as separate sections with appropriate headings? The instruction 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 include only those headings. However we might lose substantive info like Working Conditions etc. But we could incorporate them into Responsibilities or Qualifications? Not ideal. But maybe we can treat them as part of Responsibilities? They are not duties but conditions. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include them somewhere. We could create a section with heading "Working Conditions" even if not in example list; the instruction didn't forbid other headings, just gave examples. So we can add.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Working Conditions, Work Environment, Supervision.
We'll not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now we need to extract Working Conditions And Physical Requirements paragraph:
"The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodation may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform essential functions. Must have the ability to sit and stand for extended periods of time; exhibit manual dexterity to dial a telephone, to enter data into a computer; to see and read a computer screen and printed material with or without vision aids; hear and understand speech at normal classroom levels, outdoors and on the telephone; speak in audible tones so that others may understand clearly in normal classrooms, outdoors and on the telephone; physical agility to lift up to 25 pounds; and to bend, stoop, climb stairs, and reach overhead."
Work Environment paragraph:
"The work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Duties are normally performed in a school/classroom environment. Duties may be occasionally performed on field trips away from school. The noise level in the work environment is usually moderate."
Supervision:
"Supervision Exercised: May include instructional assistants, volunteers, tutors. Supervision Received: Principal"
We'll put that in a

Now we

But we can also use other headings if needed? Safer to stick to those. We have content for About the role (Job Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Duties + Other Duties). Requirements (Job Specifications). Qualifications (Minimum Qualifications). Skills (abilities like communication, relationships). We could combine Requirements and Qualifications?
