About the role
and then paragraphs. - Responsibilities: The details about responsibilities: "As a Teacher at Phalen Leadership Academies, you are responsible for ensuring that all scholars master both the academic and social skills necessary to succeed. You will set ambitious goals for student achievement and hold our scholars accountable for accomplishing those goals. As a PLA teacher, you will be empowered to create a powerful learning environment, plan and deliver rigorous instruction, and assess for mastery, tracking scholar progress and intervening and/or pivoting as necessary to support our scholars’ success." Also maybe "Key Deliverables" list: 100% of scholars meet their projected growth goals for both ELA and Math; 85% scholar satisfaction on classroom surveys; 90% of scholars persist through the academic year; 95% average daily scholar attendance; 1.5 years of growth for each scholar not performing on grade level. Those are key deliverables, could be responsibilities or requirements? They are performance expectations; could be placed under Responsibilities as a list. - Requirements: "Experience And Education Requirements A passion for working with students and families in under-served communities Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university, with appropriate endorsements, if applicable Valid State Teacher License or enrolled in a credentialing program Effective pedagogical skills driven by standards and data-driven assessment Experience tracking and using data to drive instruction". That's requirements. - Qualifications: Might overlap with requirements; but we can treat "Experience And Education Requirements" as Qualifications. However we need to decide sections: maybe Requirements and Qualifications separate? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include only those with real content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Benefits (Compensation and Benefits). Pay: The posting mentions "base salary that is competitively aligned with the market." That's somewhat vague but it's a statement about compensation. It says "Competitive Compensation" as a bullet? Actually "Competitive Compensation" appears as a bullet under Compensation and Benefits. It says: "PLA School Teachers receive a base salary that is competitively aligned with the market. In addition to a base salary, PLA School Teachers receive: Competitive CompensationBenefits – Healthcare, vision, and dental insuranceProfessional development opportunities, coaching and mentoring, and being a part of professional communities within the schoolIncentive and bonus opportunities". The formatting is messed; but we can interpret that they mention base salary competitively aligned, plus benefits: healthcare, vision, dental insurance; professional development opportunities, coaching and mentoring, being part of professional communities; incentive and bonus opportunities. Also "Competitive Compensation" maybe redundant. So we have some compensation info: base salary competitively aligned with market. That's specific enough? It's not a number but it's a statement. The rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "competitively aligned with the market" is not exactly placeholder like "commensurate with experience"? It's somewhat vague but still conveys that salary is market-competitive. It's not a specific number but it's not placeholder like "varies". I'd say it's okay to include Pay section with that statement. Schedule: No mention of schedule (full-time, part-time, hours). So we should not include Schedule. Skills: Could extract from requirements: effective pedagogical skills, data-driven assessment, tracking and using data to drive instruction. Could be a Skills section. But we already have Requirements covering education and experience. Might be better to separate Skills. However we need to avoid thin sections. If we have both Requirements and Skills, each may be thin. Perhaps combine into Requirements (includes education, experience, skills). The instruction says we can use those headings; we can decide to include only those with substantive content. Let's include About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. That's five sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. We'll not include any heading for job title. We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to ensure we don't include the EEO statements, the "Please read carefully", the equal opportunity employer repeats, the "By completing this application..." etc. Also remove "Powered by JazzHR olqU4ULLCf". Also remove "The Network:" paragraph? That's about the organization; could be considered part of About the role? It's background about PLA. Might be considered part of About the role or maybe separate but we don't have a heading for "About the organization". Could incorporate into About the role as additional prose. It's substantive about the network; we can include it under About the role as a paragraph.
We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. The posting has some duplicated lines like "PLA is an equal opportunity employer..." repeated; we will drop those.
Now let's extract content.
First, "The Opportunity:" paragraph:
"The Opportunity: PLA Teachers are passionate and devoted leaders bringing creativity and rigor to our classrooms to support an improved learning experience for our scholars. Our teachers are compassionate and committed to building a caring environment that nurtures the success of our school community. As a Teacher at Phalen Leadership Academies, you are responsible for ensuring that all scholars master both the academic and social skills necessary to succeed. You will set ambitious goals for student achievement and hold our scholars accountable for accomplishing those goals. As a PLA teacher, you will be empowered to create a powerful learning environment, plan and deliver rigorous instruction, and assess for mastery, tracking scholar progress and intervening and/or pivoting as necessary to support our scholars’ success."
We can treat that as About the role.
Then "The Details Key Deliverables:" list:
"100% of scholars meet their projected growth goals for both ELA and Math"
"85% scholar satisfaction on classroom surveys"
"90% of scholars persist through the academic year"
"95% average daily scholar attendance"
"1.5 years of growth for each scholar not performing on grade level"
These are key deliverables; could be responsibilities.
Then after that: "Experience And Education Requirements A passion for working with students and families in under-served communities Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited college or university, with appropriate endorsements, if applicable Valid State Teacher License or enrolled in a credentialing program Effective pedagogical skills driven by standards and data-driven assessment Experience tracking and using data to drive instruction"
We need to split into list items.
Then "The Network:" paragraph:
"Phalen Leadership Academies (PLA), founded in 2013 in honor of George and Veronica Phalen, is proud to announce the launch of its newest school, PLA West Virginia. Guided by our core values, Children First, Respect, Determination, Continuous Improvement, and Gratitude, PLA continues its mission to ensure that all children, no matter their zip code, receive a high-quality education.
