We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About Us? The instructions: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes "About Us" (description of organization). That could be "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about organization, not role. The instruction list includes "About the role" as example heading, but we can use other headings? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely we should use those headings where appropriate. We have content: About Us (organization overview) could go under "About the role"? Not exactly. Maybe we can create an "About the school" section? But not in list. However we could treat "About Us" as "About the role"? Might be okay to use "About the role" heading and put the About Us content there? That seems odd. Better to follow instruction: Use those headings where appropriate. We have sections: Position Overview (could be "About the role"), Core Competencies & Responsibilities (Responsibilities), Qualifications (Qualifications), Benefits (Benefits), Pay (Compensation). Also maybe "Schedule"? Not present. Skills? Not explicit separate list; qualifications include skills. Could combine. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, scam warning, etc. Also remove "Please note: The above is based on the 2025-2026 plan year." etc? That's part of benefits? It's metadata about benefits year; could keep as part of benefits paragraph? It's not boilerplate but maybe okay to keep. However "Please note: The above is based on the 2025-2026 plan year." is not essential but could be kept. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The equal opportunity statement is boilerplate; remove. Also "Be sure to input your full legal name..." etc is application instruction; remove. Also "Agency applicants are excluded..." maybe not boilerplate but related to bonus; could keep? It's about bonus eligibility; it's substantive. Keep. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the About Us paragraph, Position Overview paragraph, Core Competencies & Responsibilities list (many items), Qualifications list, Benefits list (including details), Pay (salary range and signing bonus). Also maybe "Schedule"? Not present, so omit. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Avoid. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure:

About the role

About Us ... Position Overview ...

maybe split? Could separate About Us and Position Overview into two paragraphs under same heading? Might be okay. Better:

About the role

About Us paragraph.

Position Overview paragraph.

Then

Responsibilities

  • ... each responsibility.
Then

Qualifications

  • ... each qualification.
Then

Benefits

Benefits paragraph describing package.

  • ... each benefit bullet.
Then

Pay

Salary range and signing bonus details.

We must not include schedule. Check for duplicated lines: The posting repeats base pay range twice; we should include once. Also need to include the signing bonus detail: "$4,000 signing bonus paid in two installments over the course of their first year of employment. Agency applicants are excluded from receiving this bonus." Also mention "Comprehensive Professional Development: More than 225 hours annually..." etc. We need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Brilla Schools is an equal opportunity employer." Remove. Also remove "Be sure to input your full legal name..." etc. Also remove "Beware of phishing attempts." etc. Also remove "After applying, initial outreach..." etc. Also remove "Brilla Schools will never reach out with a job offer before a face-to-face interview." Now craft HTML. Let's extract About Us paragraph: "Brilla Schools, a growing K-8 network in the Bronx, serves over 2,000 students with plans to expand to educate 3,000 across four elementary and four middle schools. Managed by Seton Education Partners, Brilla Schools are dedicated to forming students of strong wisdom and virtue. Our classically inspired approach to education combines a content-rich curriculum, inquiry-driven learning, and a focus on virtues, while providing individualized support to meet each child's unique needs.

With high expectations and a supportive community, we're preparing students to excel in high school, college, and beyond." Position Overview paragraph: "The primary responsibility of a Middle School STEM Integrated Co-teaching (ICT) Specialist is to cultivate and lead a learning environment where every child feels safe and confident to strive for and meet Brilla's ambitious targets. The Middle School STEM ICT Specialist understands, plans, and executes key elements of innovative pedagogy, co-teaching practices, and data-based decision-making through a deep love of learning and commitment to internalizing and teaching rigorous classical content in an inspiring and culturally relevant way. This position requires a classically-minded, positive, flexible, solutions-oriented, organized, and innovative educator who aims to challenge the status quo of the current educational landscape in urban areas. Brilla teachers must have a deep passion for student-engaged learning, a desire to accept, implement, and seek feedback, and a proven ability to manage multiple concurrent tasks and responsibilities while inspiring outstanding achievement in children in a fun and collaborative work environment, serving specific grade levels as assigned." Now responsibilities list (from Core Competencies & Responsibilities). Each bullet is a sentence; we need to preserve all. List: - Serve as the special education teacher in an Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) classroom, ensuring delivery of the ICT mandate as written on students' IEPs in alignment with NYSED requirements - Collaboratively plan with the general education teacher using academic and behavioral data to design instruction that embeds Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) aligned to IEP goals while ensuring students can access grade-level STEM curriculum and standards. - Co-teach using a variety of co-teaching models intentionally selected to maximize student access to grade-level content - Demonstrate deep knowledge of Specially Designed Instruction (SDI) through clear, objective-driven instruction and active student engagement, and provide SDI tailored to meet the unique needs of each student with disabilities - Serve as the case manager for assigned ICT students, including writing Present Levels of Academic and Functional Performance (PLOPs), teacher reports, and facilitating IEP meetings with the Committee on Special Education - Progress monitor and document student progress toward academic IEP goals at required intervals and complete accurate IEP Progress Reports - Use progress monitoring data to inform the revision and development of IEP goals, ensuring goals remain responsive to student growth and instructional needs - Implement proactive behavior supports and environmental structures aligned to students' IEP needs to maintain access to instruction - Collaborate with colleagues to improve outcomes for students with disabilities and contribute to an inclusive learning environment across the school community - Participate in school and community events to build strong relationships with colleagues and families and contribute to a positive, inclusive school culture - Participate in special education and content-specific professional development, grade team meetings, and school-based initiatives to continuously strengthen instructional practice - Participate in MTSS meetings to analyze student data, contribute insights, and support the development of targeted interventions and instructional adjustments - Perform other duties as assigned Qualifications list: - Bachelor's Degree or higher from an accredited institution (preferably in a Math or Science-related field) - Active New York State teaching certification in Students with Disabilities or currently enrolled in an NYSED-approved program leading to special education certification required. - Relevant urban, middle school teaching experience with demonstrated student results (preferred) - Excellent verbal and written communication skills - Experience using SESIS to manage IEP documentation (strongly preferred) - Spanish language proficiency (preferred) Benefits description paragraph: "At Brilla Schools, we celebrate the unique skills, experiences, and passions that each staff member brings to our mission. To support their work, we offer a thoughtfully designed benefits package to provide competitive and adaptable coverage. We are committed to offering a benefits portfolio that supports the holistic health and wellness of our team members including:" Then bullet list: - Comprehensive Professional Development: More than 225 hours annually, featuring two weeks of onboarding, coaching, and targeted training sessions to ensure staff excel in their roles and flourish. - Community and Culture: An intentionally joyful workplace with over 30 bonding events each year, fostering connection and collaboration among staff and families in the Bronx. - Flexible Health Coverage: A full suite of medical, dental, and vision plans designed to support diverse needs, utilizing Cigna and Anthem provider networks. - Competitive Compensation: A salary range of $71,020 - $115,479, with pay varying within this range based on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. - Retirement Plans: A 403(b) plan and 401(k) retirement options with matching contributions, helping you secure your financial future while you grow with us. - Work-Life Balance: Generous paid time off, a DOE-aligned school calendar, and wellness resources to support personal renewal and sustained excellence. Then maybe extra note: "At Brilla, your dedication fuels our mission, and we're here to invest in your growth, well-being, and success—from recruitment to retirement!" Could include as paragraph after list. Then Pay section: Actually compensation already in Benefits bullet; but we also have separate Pay section requirement. The posting includes base pay range and signing bonus. We could put Pay section with that info, and maybe not duplicate in Benefits. However Benefits bullet includes Competitive Compensation with salary range; we could keep that but also have Pay section with signing bonus details. To avoid duplication, we could keep Compensation bullet as is and Pay section for signing bonus only. But instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states salary range and signing bonus; we can have Pay section with both. Benefits section can still exist for other benefits. It's okay to have some overlap? Might be considered duplication but not necessarily. Better to keep Benefits section for non-compensation benefits (Professional Development, Community and Culture, Flexible Health Coverage, Retirement Plans, Work-Life Balance). Then Pay section for salary range and signing bonus. That avoids duplication. Thus adjust Benefits bullets: remove Competitive Compensation bullet. Keep others. Now Benefits paragraph: maybe keep the intro sentence about benefits package. Now Pay section:

Pay

The base pay range for this position is $71,020 - $115,479 per year, with pay varying based on your unique job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. You'll enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including medical, financial, and more. Plus, as an extra incentive, candidates who begin employment on or before October 15, 2026, are eligible for a $4,000 signing bonus paid in two installments over the course of their first year of employment. Agency applicants are excluded from receiving this bonus.
