[2026-2027] Middle School Social Worker

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the posting includes "About KIPP" etc. We need to reformat job posting into clean semantic HTML. Use

for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences. We need to decide which sections to include based on content. The posting includes: - About KIPP (mission, network, etc.) – could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is a heading suggestion, but we could use "About KIPP" as a section? The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g., About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It suggests those as examples, but we can use other headings if appropriate? Probably we should stick to those headings where relevant. The posting includes "Job Description Role Overview:" which is about the role. Then sections: Prevention, Intervention, Documentation and Assessment, Collaboration, School Responsibilities. Those could be under Responsibilities. Qualifications section present. Benefits and Pay present: compensation range, health benefits, 403B matching, tuition reimbursement. Schedule not mentioned. Skills not explicitly listed but could be inferred; but we should not create a Skills section unless posting actually states them. It doesn't list skills explicitly, so omit. Thus we can have sections: About the role (maybe "About KIPP" or "Role Overview"), Responsibilities (with sub-sections maybe as lists), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" – that's in Pay description; but we can still include Pay section with the salary range. The phrase "commensurate upon years of K-12 experience and certification status" is okay; it's not placeholder like "commensurate with experience"? Actually it's similar but it's specific: "Salary range for this position is $61,000 - $79,000 commensurate upon years of K-12 experience and certification status." That's substantive; we can include. Benefits: health benefits package, 403B matching, free access to financial advising, tuition reimbursement $2,500. We need to remove EEO boilerplate and application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract substantive content: About KIPP: first paragraph about KIPP network, KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools mission, etc. Also "Life at KIPP Philly" bullet points: Commitment to Anti-Racism & Equity, Joyful, Inclusive Community, Competitive & Equitable Compensation, Professional Growth & Leadership Pathways, Authenticity & Belonging, People-Centered Excellence, Comprehensive Well-Being Support. Those are substantive; we could include them under About the role or maybe as a separate "About KIPP" section. Since we have heading suggestions, we could use "About the role" to encompass the role overview and maybe the life at KIPP. But the "About the role" heading is generic; we could put the role overview there. The "Life at KIPP Philly" is more about the organization; could be part of About the role or maybe we could create a separate section like "About KIPP". However 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 stick to those headings. So we can have:

  About the role

  containing role overview and maybe life at KIPP? But life at KIPP is more about the organization; still could be considered part of role context. Alternatively we could have

  About KIPP

  but that's not in the list; risk of being considered not following instruction. The instruction: "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." indicates examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings as long as they are

  . Probably fine. But to be safe, we could use About the role for role overview, and then maybe a separate About KIPP as

  About KIPP

  . That seems okay. We need to avoid duplication. Let's structure:

  About KIPP

  KIPP Public Schools is a national network of tuition-free public charter schools preparing students with the skills and confidence needed to create the futures they want for themselves, their communities, and us all. We are a network of 279 schools, nearly 16,500 educators, and 210,000 students and alumni. KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools (KPPS) is part of the national KIPP Public Schools network and currently leads eight schools serving 3,400 students in North and West Philadelphia. By 2030, KPPS will be serving approximately 4,000 students.

  KPPS Mission: Together with families and communities, we create joyful, academically excellent schools that prepare students to pursue the paths they choose—college, career, and beyond—so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world.

  Life at KIPP Philly: At KPPS, we believe that talented, committed, and culturally competent educators and staff are the foundation of our students' success. We work to create a professional community grounded in joy, candor, care, and connection – where every team member can bring their authentic self, grow in their craft, and contribute to meaningful work. Here is what you can expect:

  • Commitment to Anti-Racism & Equity: Join a team dedicated to dismantling systemic barriers and creating inclusive, culturally responsive schools where all students and staff can thrive.
  • Joyful, Inclusive Community: Work in a collaborative, identity-affirming environment that values relationships, celebrates individuality, and supports the well-being of adults and children alike.

  • Comprehensive Well-Being Support: Receive whole-person support through coaching, mental health resources, wellness initiatives, and team-building experiences that prioritize your professional and personal growth.
  Then role overview:

  About the role

  Role Overview: KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools seeks a highly dedicated social worker to join the team. KPPS Social Workers provide the following core services: prevention, intervention, assessment, and collaboration. Social Workers work directly with students to provide effective, evidence-based, high-quality direct services, as well as mezzo and macro opportunities related to the well-being of our students, families and community. Our Social Worker will also work directly with teachers to cultivate their knowledge of students’ social and emotional development.

  Then Responsibilities: we can break into sub-sections maybe as

  but we only allowed

  for section 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 heading levels, but we can use

  • for lists. For sub-sections we could just use

    headings? Might be okay to use

    but not specified. Safer to keep everything under Responsibilities as a single section with lists for each category. We could do:

    Responsibilities

    Prevention

    but that's not

    . Might be okay but risk. Better to keep as

    Responsibilities and then within that use

    with bold? But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can use

    • for each duty. Could group them under headings using inside
    • . That would preserve info. Thus:

      Responsibilities

      • Prevention
        • Provide group or 1:1 school-based counseling services to students with and without IEPs as part of a defined caseload.
