26-27 Afterschool PT Assistant Teacher (West Somerville)
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Position Summary: description of program. Could be "About the role". Use About the role
then
with summary. Essential Functions & Responsibilities: includes many bullet-like sentences. Should be a list under Responsibilities. Use
Responsibilities
then- each. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. We have sections: Teaching School Year Responsibilities (Sept-June), Programming, Staff Supervision, Summer Months Responsibilities (July-August) with subparts Pre-Camp Session, Daily Responsibilities. Also Physical Requirements, Qualifications, Knowledge And Skills, Reporting Relationships, Terms of Employment (including Position Type, Schedule, FLSA, Union Status, Benefits, Pay). Also Pre-Employment Requirements (CORI, Fingerprints). Also EEO boilerplate to remove. We need to decide which sections to output: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe includes Physical Requirements?), Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Qualifications, Knowledge And Skills section: includes qualifications (Associate's degree + experience, or HS diploma + experience), ability to set limits, experience with diverse backgrounds, ability to work with special needs. Also maybe "Experience actively participating with project based curriculum". So we can combine Qualifications and Skills. Physical Requirements could be under Requirements? The instruction says use headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put Physical Requirements under Requirements (maybe as a list). Also Reporting Relationships maybe not needed; Terms of Employment includes Position Type, Schedule, FLSA, Union Status, Benefits, Pay. We'll extract Schedule, Benefits, Pay. We need to avoid boilerplate like EEO, application instructions, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info: So include details like program description, responsibilities bullet points, qualifications, physical requirements, reporting relationships? Not required headings but maybe we can include under Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction says only use those headings; we can include other info as paragraphs under those sections. For Reporting Relationships, we could put under Requirements? Or maybe we can omit if not fitting headings? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it. So we need to embed it somewhere appropriate, maybe under Requirements as a paragraph. Similarly, Terms of Employment details: Position Type: Part Time / Up to 19 hours per week; Schedule: September - June; FLSA Classification: Non Exempt; Union Status: SCS UAW; Benefits: Non Benefits Eligible position; Pay: $21.13-24.02 hourly. Also Pre-Employment Requirements: MA CORI Clearance Fingerprints. We need Benefits, Pay, Schedule sections only if posting actually states them. It does: Benefits: Non Benefits Eligible position. Pay: $21.13-24.02 hourly. Schedule: September - June. So we will include those sections. We also need Requirements section: could include Physical Requirements and maybe Reporting Relationships and Pre-Employment Requirements? But Pre-Employment Requirements maybe could be under Requirements as well. Qualifications, Knowledge And Skills section: we will put under Qualifications and Skills? The instruction separates Qualifications and Skills as separate headings. We could split: Qualifications heading for education/experience; Skills heading for abilities (setting limits, diverse backgrounds, special needs, project based curriculum). But we can also combine if we think it's thin. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one section? But they said use those headings if we have content. We could have both but ensure each has substantive content. Let's see: Qualifications: education/experience. Skills: abilities. Both have content. So we can have two sections. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to extract content for each. About the role: Position Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: combine all essential functions/responsibilities bullet points. We'll list each distinct duty as
- . Need to avoid duplication. Let's extract:
From Teaching School Year Responsibilities (Months of September – June):

- Other duties as assigned
We should avoid repeating "Other duties as assigned" many times; maybe keep one? But we need to preserve all substantive info; removing duplicates is allowed? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Duplicated lines can be removed. So we can keep a single "Other duties as assigned" maybe. But we need to be careful not to lose meaning. We'll include it once at end of responsibilities list.
Now Requirements: includes Physical Requirements and maybe Reporting Relationships and Pre-Employment Requirements? Also maybe "Ability to cooperatively team teach" is more skill. We'll put Physical Requirements under Requirements.
Physical Requirements text: "During a typical workday, incumbent will perform functions that will necessitate him/ her to have a strong overall level of strength and physical ability.The incumbent will be expected to exert an extensive and frequent level of talking; seeing; hearing; walking; and swimming;The incumbent will be expected to exert a moderate level of standing; sitting; walking; swimming, lifting; carrying; pushing/ pulling; bending; climbing and kneeling.The essential functions of this position are performed indoors as well as outdoors."
We can format as a paragraph or list. Use
. Reporting Relationships: "Position Reports to: Director(s) of Out of School Time". Could be a paragraph. Pre-Employment Requirements: "MA Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Clearance Fingerprints". Could be a paragraph. We'll combine these under Requirements heading with maybe sub-paragraphs. Qualifications: education/experience: "Hold a minimum of an Associate’s Degree; and have three months experience working with school age children; or Hold a High School Diploma and have nine months experience working with school age children including three months supervised experience at a school age child care program". Also maybe "Experience actively participating with project based curriculum" could be skill. We'll keep that under Skills. Skills: "Ability to set clear limits and supervise school age students", "Experience working with children and families from diverse cultural, socioeconomic backgrounds and abilities", "Ability work with students with special educational or emotional needs", "Experience actively participating with project based curriculum". Also maybe "Ability to cooperatively team teach" could be skill but we already used under responsibilities. We'll keep as skill. Benefits: "Non Benefits Eligible position". Could be a paragraph. Pay: "$21.13-24.02 hourly". Could be a paragraph. Schedule: "September - June". Also note Position Type: Part Time / Up to 19 hours per week; FLSA Classification: Non Exempt; Union Status: SCS UAW. Should we include those? They are not under headings but we could include them under Schedule section or maybe under Requirements? The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It didn't forbid adding extra info under those headings. So we can put Position Type, FLSA, Union Status under Schedule section as additional details. Or we could create a separate section but we don't have heading for those. So we add them to Schedule section. Thus Schedule section: include schedule (September - June), position type (Part Time / Up to 19 hours per week), FLSA (Non Exempt), Union Status (SCS UAW). We'll format as
with details. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce:

Check for any duplicated lines: we removed duplicate "Other duties as assigned". We kept one maybe not at all; we omitted it entirely. Is that allowed? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we can drop all instances of "Other duties as assigned". That's fine. Check we preserved all substantive info: Did we miss any responsibilities like "Ability to cooperatively team teach"? That's under Teaching School Year Responsibilities. We omitted it. We need to include it. It's a responsibility. So add under Responsibilities list. Also "Build positive relationship with families" we included. Also "Serve and record nutritious snacks daily" included. Also "Submit daily lesson plans two weeks in advance to Administration" included. Also "Purchase materials and supplies in accordance with SC
