We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "What is the Role?" sections: "What is the Role?" (intro), "What You'll Be Asked To Do" (responsibilities), "What You'll Need" (requirements/qualifications/skills), "Who are we?" (about school), "Benefits and Compensation". Also maybe "Commitment to Anti-racism..." but that's part of description.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "Are you 'All In?' This position starts immediately. To apply, head to our Careers Page!" and EEO statement. Those are application instructions and EEO boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "Coney Island Preparatory Public Charter School is an equal opportunity employer..." remove.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for About the role (intro paragraph), Responsibilities (list), Requirements/Qualifications/Skills (list), Benefits and Compensation (salary range, benefits description), maybe About the school (Who are we?) could be a section like "About the School" or "About Coney Island Prep". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate headings. We have content for About the role (intro). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (list includes education, certification, etc). Skills (list includes cultural competencies, communication, etc). Benefits and Compensation (salary range, benefits). Pay could be separate but we can combine Benefits and Compensation as one section with heading Benefits (or Benefits and Compensation). The instruction says include a section ONLY when posting has real specific content for it. So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits and Compensation. Also maybe About the School (but not in list). Could embed About the School in About the role? But we have a distinct "Who are we?" paragraph describing school. Could make a section "About the School". Not in prescribed list but allowed? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive. Probably we should stick to those headings if possible. We could treat "Who are we?" as part of About the role? Might be okay to add About the School as a heading but risk deviating. Safer to incorporate school description into About the role section (since it's about the role context). But the instruction says "About the role" heading for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). So we can have About the role containing both the role description and school overview. That seems fine.
Now we need to extract content.
Intro: "What is the Role? Are you an unapologetic history buff who wants to challenge the way young scholars see and experience the world? Are you a passionate educator who loves to share knowledge in a way that motivates students and influences their lives? If so, you may be an excellent fit for our Middle School Social Studies teacher opening. Through our research-based, standards aligned curriculum "Success", you will engage our scholars by fostering critical thinking, problem-solving and setting an awareness of how historical events have shaped today's social and political climate. We value individuals who promote inclusion and equity in and outside of the classroom by creating a safe learning environment where students feel seen and heard, and curiosity is welcomed. If this is something you enjoy, we encourage you to apply to work with the CIP Middle School Team!"
We'll keep that as prose under About the role.
Responsibilities: bullet list from "What You'll Be Asked To Do". Let's extract each line:
- Internalize standards-aligned curriculum and content and on a daily basis, teach academically rigorous and culturally relevant lesson plans, materials, and assessments, and differentiate as needed
- Communicate effectively with all scholars, their families, and staff
- Commit to a culture of consistently implementing school-wide systems, structures, procedures and feedback
- Eradicate the effects of racism, poverty and other forms of oppression in our school community by making resources, opportunities, support systems, and classrooms equitable and accessible for all our stakeholders
- Analyze instructional and culture data to action plan and improve your teaching practice to strengthen student outcomes
- Be proactive in creating a positive, structured, results-oriented, and fun learning environment that supports the needs of students with various abilities and experiences
- Participate in school community responsibilities such as lunch duty, dismissal and hallway duties, whole-school events, daily homeroom, bi-weekly advisory groups, weekly content team meetings, whole-staff professional development, lesson internalization and practice, and weekly grade team meetings
- Foster student ownership and engagement that encourages student-led discussions, independent routines, and accountability for high-quality work products that reflect their ideas and experiences.
- Demonstrate a reflective and solutions-oriented approach by actively seeking and responding to feedback, maintaining a high level of professional integrity, and collaborating with colleagues and school leaders to continuously strengthen teaching practice and school culture.
- Cultivate a structured and supportive classroom community that prioritizes strong relationships, clear expectations, and a student-centered approach to behavior management, ensuring all students feel affirmed, engaged, and motivated to learn.
We'll put each as

Requirements: from "What You'll Need". Let's extract bullet-like sentences (they are separated by line breaks but not bullet). We'll parse:
- Passion for education and a dedication to Coney Island Prep's mission, beliefs, and values and its commitment to anti-racism
- Steadfast belief that all students can achieve at the highest academic levels and deserve an opportunity to succeed in the college and career of their choice
- Bachelor's degree and NYS teaching certification required, Master's degree strongly preferred; we offer $2,000 towards the completion of a Master's degree and NY State certification within two years of employment
- Passion for and expertise in your content area; experience with intended grade level preferred
- Experience with Google Suite, MacBooks, Chromebooks, and flat panels
- Cultural competencies and a willingness to examine your beliefs and biases across lines of difference
- Culturally responsive and age appropriate conflict resolution skills
- Proven organizational, oral, and written communication skills; timeliness; accuracy; and consistent and regular communication; and ability to meet deadlines for deliverables
- Self-reflective and open to feedback, with the ambition and desire to grow and develop; curiosity and the tendency to ask questions of your colleagues in order to learn and improve
- A positive, solution-oriented attitude and drive for excellence
- Eagerness to work collaboratively with your grade teams and coach
- A strong track record of building positive relationships with families, students and staff, while demonstrating value towards diversity and inclusivity
We'll put these as
- under Requirements (or maybe split Requirements and Skills). The instruction includes Requirements, Qualifications, Skills as possible headings. We could separate: Requirements (education, certification), Skills (competencies, communication, etc). But we can also combine into Requirements. Safer to follow examples: we can have Requirements (education, certification) and Skills (competencies, communication). Let's split.
Requirements (education/experience):
- Bachelor's degree and NYS teaching certification required, Master's degree strongly preferred; we offer $2,000 towards the completion of a Master's degree and NY State certification within two years of employment
- Passion for and expertise in your content area; experience with intended grade level preferred

Skills (competencies etc):

- Steadfast belief that all students can achieve at the highest academic levels and deserve an opportunity to succeed in the college and career of their choice
- Cultural competencies and a willingness to examine your beliefs and biases across lines of difference
- Culturally responsive and age appropriate conflict resolution skills

Now Benefits and Compensation: from "Benefits and Compensation" paragraph.
- Lead teachers at Coney Island Prep are provided with salaries that are highly competitive, set through a lens of equity, and based on an individual's years of lead teaching experience in a K-12 school environment. The salary range for this role is from $71,250-$97,750.

- Staff are provided with a MacBook Air and access to all the necessary technology and resources needed to succeed in their role.
We'll put these as
- under Benefits and Compensation (or separate Pay and Benefits). Could have Pay section with salary range, Benefits section with list. But we can combine as Benefits and Compensation.
Now About the School: we have "Who are we?" paragraph. We'll include that as prose under About the role maybe after intro. Or we could make a separate section "About the School". Since not in list, maybe incorporate into About the role.
Thus final HTML:

Check for duplicated lines: none.
Now produce HTML fragment only.
Let's craft the prose exactly as in posting, preserving punctuation.
