2026-2027 Middle School Science Teachers

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Position Type: Middle School Teaching/Science - Date Posted: 3/19/2026 - Location: Vernon Johns Middle School - Job Title: Middle School Science Teacher (not heading) - Minimum Salary: $56,167 Commensurate with experience (but we cannot create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state Minimum Salary: $56,167 Commensurate with experience. However the rule says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Minimum Salary: $56,167 Commensurate with experience. The phrase "Commensurate with experience" is filler? It's a qualifier but still part of salary. The rule says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). That suggests if the salary is just "Commensurate with experience" without a number, we should not create Pay section. But here we have a number plus "Commensurate with experience". Is that considered filler? The example includes "commensurate with experience" as filler text to avoid. Likely they want to avoid sections where the content is just that phrase. Since we have a concrete number, we could include Pay section with the salary info. But we must be careful: The rule says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". It doesn't say we cannot include that phrase if accompanied by actual number. I'd include Pay section with the salary. - Supervisor: Principal (metadata, could be folded into short p) - Job Classification: EXEMPT - Contract Length: 10 months contract (200 days) (Schedule? Could be schedule section? It's contract length, not schedule. Might be considered Schedule? The rule says Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state contract length. Could treat as Schedule? But schedule usually refers to work schedule (full-time, part-time, hours). Contract length maybe not schedule. Safer to not create Schedule section unless explicit schedule like "Full-time, Monday-Friday 8am-3pm". We have contract length; could put in a short p under About the role or similar. - Job Summary: paragraph. - Essential Job Functions: list of duties. Should be Responsibilities section with

• . - Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge/skills. Could be Skills section or Requirements? The headings list includes Skills, Requirements, Qualifications. We need to decide mapping. We have "Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities" which includes knowledge and abilities. Could be Skills section. Then "Job Specifications (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required)" repeats similar content. Might be duplicate; we should not duplicate lines. We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate. The second repeats some items: Must hold or be eligible for a Virginia teaching license with an endorsement in the appropriate subject area. Knowledge of current teaching methods... Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively... Demonstrated ability in decision making... etc. This seems like Qualifications (certification) plus some skills. We also have "Minimal Qualifications Education: Bachelors degree Certification and Licensure: Virginia Collegiate Professional or Post-Graduate Professional license with the appropriate endorsement in Science or ability to obtain licensure." Thus we have qualifications (education, certification). Skills: knowledge of teaching methods, scientific subject areas, laws, computer use, organization, communication, self-evaluation, cooperative relationships. We also have Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (first) which includes knowledge of current teaching methods, wide range of scientific subject areas, knowledge of applicable federal and state laws, ability to use computer network systems, ability to organize and coordinate work, ability to communicate effectively, ability to engage in self-evaluation, ability to establish cooperative relationships. Thus we can combine. We need to avoid duplication: we can merge similar points. We'll create sections: - About the role: could include Position Type, Location, Date Posted, Supervisor, Job Classification, Contract Length maybe. But About the role is a heading; we can put a short paragraph summarizing. Better: Use About the role for general info: Position Type, Location, Date Posted, Supervisor, Job Classification, Contract Length. - Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list. - Qualifications: Minimal Qualifications (Education, Certification) plus Job Specifications license requirement. - Skills: Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (knowledge and abilities) plus maybe Job Specifications skills. We must not create Benefits section unless stated; none. Pay: we have Minimum Salary: $56,167 Commensurate with experience. We'll include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: we have contract length but not schedule; maybe we can treat contract length as Schedule? The rule says Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state contract length (10 months contract (200 days)). That could be considered schedule? I'd argue it's more about contract length than daily schedule. Safer to not create Schedule section; we can include contract length in About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Pay. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

  for each heading. Use

  • for lists. Use

    for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Let's craft content. About the role paragraph: Include Position Type: Middle School Teaching/Science; Location: Vernon Johns Middle School; Date Posted: 3/19/2026; Supervisor: Principal; Job Classification: EXEMPT; Contract Length: 10 months contract (200 days). Could be a single paragraph with commas or separate sentences. Responsibilities: list each essential job function as

  • . Need to preserve all substantive information; we can copy each sentence. Essential Job Functions list from posting: - Develops and administers science curriculum consistent with school district goals and objectives. - Promotes a classroom environment that is safe and conducive to individualized and small group instruction, and student learning. - Develops lesson plans and instructional materials for subject area, and translates lesson plans into learning experiences to develop pertinent sequential assignments, challenge students, and best utilize the available time for instruction. - Teaches knowledge and skills in science and promotes creative thinking and analysis in all related subject areas. - Designs learning activities to demonstrate the application of science to everyday existence and problem-solving. - Conducts ongoing assessment of student learning and progress, and modifies instructional methods to fit individual student's needs, including students with special needs; conducts individual and small group instruction as needed. - Maintains familiarity with district and Virginia State standardized tests for the purpose of adapting curriculum to maximize student achievement on such tests. - Continues to acquire professional knowledge and learn of current developments in the educational field by attending seminars, workshops or professional meetings, or by conducting research. - Organizes and maintains a system for accurate and complete record-keeping, grading, and reporting for all student activities, achievement and attendance as required by district procedures and applicable laws. - Encourages parental involvement in students' education and ensures effective communication with students and parents. - Ensures that student conduct conforms to the school's standards and school district policies, and establishes and maintains standards of student behavior needed to achieve a functional learning atmosphere in the classroom. - Coordinates with other professional staff members, especially within grade level, and participates in faculty meetings and committees. - Selects and requisitions appropriate books, instructional aids and other supplies and equipment and maintains inventory records. Note: The above description is illustrative of tasks and responsibilities. It is not meant to be all inclusive of every task or responsibility. This note is maybe boilerplate? It's a note but still substantive? It says it's illustrative, not all inclusive. Might be considered boilerplate but it's part of description. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This note is not those; it's a disclaimer about the description. I'd keep it as a paragraph after the list. Qualifications: include Minimal Qualifications: Education: Bachelors degree; Certification and Licensure: Virginia Collegiate Professional or Post-Graduate Professional license with the appropriate endorsement in Science or ability to obtain licensure. Also Job Specifications: Must hold or be eligible for a Virginia teaching license with an endorsement in the appropriate subject area. That's similar; we can combine. We could list as
    • Education: Bachelors degree
    • Certification/Licensure: Virginia Collegiate Professional or Post-Graduate Professional license with appropriate endorsement in Science (or ability to obtain)
    • Must hold or be eligible for a Virginia teaching license with endorsement in appropriate subject area
    . But that duplicates. Better to combine: Education: Bachelors degree; Certification: Virginia Collegiate Professional or Post-Graduate Professional license with appropriate endorsement in Science (or ability to obtain). Also must hold or be eligible for Virginia teaching license with endorsement in appropriate subject area (which is essentially same). We'll just include both but avoid duplication: maybe list Education and Certification/Licensure. We'll produce:

    Education: Bachelor's degree.

    Certification/Licensure: Virginia Collegiate Professional or Post-Graduate Professional license with appropriate endorsement in Science (or ability to obtain). Must hold or be eligible for a Virginia teaching license with endorsement in the appropriate subject area.

    But we should not use unless needed; we can just write sentences. Simplify:

    Education: Bachelor's degree.

    Certification/Licensure: Virginia Collegiate Professional or Post-Graduate Professional license with appropriate endorsement in Science (or ability to obtain); must hold or be eligible for a Virginia teaching license with endorsement in the appropriate subject area.

    Skills: list knowledge and abilities. From Required Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: - Knowledge of current teaching methods and educational pedagogy, as well as differentiated instruction based upon student learning styles. - Knowledge of a wide range of scientific subject areas. - Knowledge of applicable federal and state laws regarding education and students. - Ability to use computer network systems and software applications as needed. - Ability to organize and coordinate work. - Ability to communicate effectively with students and parents. - Ability to engage in self-evaluation with regard to performance and professional growth. - Ability to establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with others contacted in the course of work. From Job Specifications (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities Required) we have: - Knowledge of current teaching methods and educational pedagogy, as well as differentiated instruction based upon student learning styles. - Demonstrated ability to communicate effectively with students and parents. - Demonstrated ability in decision making, problem analysis, conflict resolution, interpersonal relationships, and planning. We can merge, avoiding duplicates. Thus skills list: - Knowledge of current teaching methods and educational pedagogy, including differentiated instruction based on student learning styles. - Knowledge of a wide range of scientific subject areas. - Knowledge of applicable federal and state laws regarding education and students. - Ability to use computer network systems and software applications as needed. - Ability to organize and coordinate work. - Ability to communicate effectively with students and parents (demonstrated). - Ability to engage in self-evaluation regarding performance and professional growth. - Ability to establish and maintain cooperative working relationships with others. - Demonstrated ability in decision making, problem analysis, conflict
