26-27 Long Term Substitute Teacher - Library/Media Specialist (thru 6/16/2027)

We need to output HTML fragment only, with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - "This is a temporary position thru 6/30/2027" -> maybe part of summary. - Position Summary paragraph: teacher maintains safety, care, wellbeing, understanding of child development, opportunities for learning, high expectations, differentiated instruction. - Essential Functions & Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple sentences). Should be turned into

• . - Qualifications, Knowledge, Abilities, & Skills: includes "Appropriate Department of Elementary and Secondary Educator's license in the field or subject for this position", "DESE SEI endorsement Required", "Bilingual Educator Preferred". Also maybe "Physical Requirements" but that's separate. - Physical Requirements: list of mobility, lifting, dexterity, stationary tasks. - Reporting Relationships: Position Reports to: The School Building Principal and K-12 Supervisor of Library Media Services - Terms of Employment: Position Type: Full Time, FLSA Classification: Exempt, Union Status: SEU, Unit A, Salary and benefits are determined in accordance with the Somerville Educators Union, Unit A collective bargaining agreement and the policies of the Somerville School Committee. Work days and salary will be prorated to according to the actual start and end dates of the assignment - Pre-Employment Requirements: MA Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Clearance Fingerprints - EEO statement: remove boilerplate. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be the Position Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions & Responsibilities list. - Requirements: maybe Qualifications, Knowledge, Abilities, & Skills plus Physical Requirements? But we have separate sections for Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use headings for Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map. We have Qualifications: license, SEI endorsement, bilingual preferred. Skills: maybe the abilities like differentiated instruction, communication, collaboration, etc. But those are in responsibilities. Could treat Skills as separate list of abilities: e.g., "differentiated instruction strategies", "culturally responsive communication", "collaboration", "professional growth". However we need to avoid duplication. Better: Use Qualifications for license/endorsement/bilingual. Use Skills for abilities like differentiated instruction, assessment, communication, collaboration, etc. But the posting lumps them under "Qualifications, Knowledge, Abilities, & Skills". We can split. We also have Physical Requirements: could be part of Requirements? But there is no heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements as a list. Benefits: posting mentions "Salary and benefits are determined in accordance with the Somerville Educators Union, Unit A collective bargaining agreement and the policies of the Somerville School Committee." That's vague but indicates benefits exist per union agreement. However we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does mention benefits but not specifics. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that benefits are determined per union agreement, but not specifics. Is that enough? It states benefits exist but not details. The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Also "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here benefits are not specified; it's just saying they are per union agreement. That could be considered filler. Safer to omit Benefits section. Pay: posting mentions "Work days and salary will be prorated to according to the actual start and end dates of the assignment". That's not a specific pay amount. It's vague. According to rule, we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It mentions salary will be prorated but no amount. Likely considered not specific enough, so omit Pay. Schedule: posting mentions "Work days and salary will be prorated to according to the actual start and end dates of the assignment". Not specific schedule. Also "Position Type: Full Time". That's schedule info. Could we create Schedule section with "Full Time"? The rule: never create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does state Position Type: Full Time. That's a schedule. Could be considered specific enough. However we need to avoid filler. "Full Time" is specific. So we could include Schedule section with that. But we also have "Temporary position thru 6/30/2027". That's duration. Could be part of Schedule? Might be better to include in About the role or a separate note. But we only have headings for Schedule. Could include both full time and end date. We need to decide. Let's think: The instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine schedule info into About the role or Terms of Employment? But we don't have a heading for Terms of Employment. We could put schedule info under About the role as a paragraph. But we have to use headings only for the listed ones. If we don't have a section, we just use

  for prose. Thus we could output:

  About the role

  This is a temporary position through 6/30/2027. The teacher in the Somerville Public Schools maintains the safety, care, and wellbeing of the students that they are charged with. They have an understanding of child and youth development and provide opportunities for learning and social and emotional development following the standards, scope, and sequence of grade level and content areas. The teacher in SPS holds high expectations for every student and strives to know each student’s unique learning strengths and needs. The teacher uses differentiated instruction strategies to ensure equitable and meaningful access to the curriculum and learning for all students.

  Responsibilities

  • Plans units and lessons and delivers instruction aligned to State standards and district curriculum.
  • Provides ongoing formative and summative assessments and analyzes assessment data in order to determine learning needs of students.
  • Adapts curriculum and instruction to teach all students according to their varied learning strengths and needs.
  • Establishes and maintains culturally responsive and two-way communication with parents, guardians, and caregivers.
  • Collaborates with other educators for the delivery of specialized instruction and/or social and emotional support according to students’ needs.
  • Follows the guidance and direction of the School Principal and other school and district administrators to maintain a safe, welcoming, culturally affirming, and equitable learning environment.
  • Participates in professional growth opportunities, reflects on current practices, and incorporates new methodologies into instructional planning and delivery.
  • Additional duties as assigned by the Principal/Supervisor and in accordance with the SEU Collective Bargaining Agreement.

  Qualifications

  • Appropriate Department of Elementary and Secondary Educator's license in the field or subject for this position
  • DESE SEI endorsement Required
  • Bilingual Educator Preferred

  Skills

  • Differentiated instruction strategies
  • Formative and summative assessment and data analysis
  • Culturally responsive communication with families
  • Collaboration with educators for specialized instruction and social/emotional support
  • Professional growth and reflective practice

  Schedule

  • Full‑time position
  • Temporary appointment through June 30, 2027
  We might also include Physical Requirements as part of Requirements? But we don't have a Requirements heading; we have Qualifications and Skills. Could add a Requirements section for physical demands. However the instruction says use headings for Requirements. So we could add a Requirements section for physical requirements. That would be substantive. Thus:

  Requirements

  • Mobility: Frequent walking, standing, and navigating stairs.
  • Lifting/Strength: Ability to lift, push, pull, or carry objects ranging from 10 to 30 lbs (e.g., books, supplies, equipment).
  • Physical Dexterity: Bending, crouching, kneeling, stooping, and reaching to assist students.
  • Stationary Tasks: Remaining in a stationary position (sitting/standing) for long periods.
  We should also include Reporting Relationships maybe as part of About the role or a separate section? Not in headings list. Could embed in About the role as a sentence. But we must not invent sections not listed. We can add extra sections only if they correspond to allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Requirements for physical demands. Good. We should not include Benefits, Pay as they are not specific. Now check for any boilerplate removed: EEO statement removed. Pre-Employment Requirements (CORI, Fingerprints) - is that substantive? It's a requirement for employment. Could be placed under Requirements as well. But we already used Requirements for physical demands. Could we add another list under Requirements? Could combine both physical and pre-employment. However the heading Requirements is generic; we can include multiple items. Thus under Requirements we can list both physical demands and pre-employment requirements. But we need to avoid too thin sections. It's okay. Let's compile Requirements list: - Mobility: Frequent walking, standing, and navigating stairs. - Lifting/Strength: Ability to lift, push, pull, or carry objects ranging from 10 to 30 lbs (e.g., books, supplies, equipment). - Physical Dexterity: Bending, crouching, kneeling, stooping, and reaching to assist students. - Stationary Tasks: Remaining in a stationary position (sitting/standing) for long periods. - MA Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Clearance - Fingerprinting We could phrase as separate list items. Now check for any duplicate lines: The posting also mentions "Position Reports to: The School Building Principal and K-12 Supervisor of Library Media Services". That's reporting relationships. Could be included under About the role or maybe under Requirements? Not exactly. Could add a sentence in About the role. We'll add after summary: "The teacher reports to the School Building Principal and the K-12 Supervisor of Library Media Services." Now check for any other content: "Terms of Employment Position Type: Full TimeFLSA Classification: ExemptUnion Status: SEU, Unit ASalary and benefits are determined in accordance with the Somerville Educators Union, Unit A collective bargaining agreement and the policies of the Somerville School Committee.Work days and salary will be prorated to according to the actual start and end dates of the assignment". We have schedule (Full Time, temporary through date). FLSA Exempt and Union status maybe not needed. Could be omitted as not under headings. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to preserve that info. Where to put? Could add a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Requirements? But it's employment terms. Not covered by headings. However we can add a paragraph after the list sections as a

  with that info, as it's not a heading. The instruction says use

  for section headings (list). Use

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

    for prose. So we can have prose paragraphs outside of sections. Thus we can include a paragraph after the sections (or within About the role) that includes FLSA Exempt, Union Status, Salary/benefits per CBA, prorated work days and salary
