26-27 Special Education 1:1 Paraprofessional`

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to parse the posting. The posting includes: - Position Summary (first paragraph). Could be "About the role" maybe. The summary is about paraprofessionals assisting teachers, etc. So we can have

About the role

with

containing that summary. - Essential Functions & Responsibilities: list of duties. Should be under

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. - Qualifications, Knowledge, Abilities, & Skills: includes license, DESE SEI endorsement required, bilingual preferred, physical requirements, reporting relationships, terms of employment, pre-employment requirements. We need to separate Qualifications and Skills maybe. The instruction: Use headings for sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content fits. We have 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". Also physical requirements, reporting relationships, terms of employment, pre-employment requirements. We could have

  Qualifications

  with license and endorsement and bilingual preferred. Then maybe

  Skills

  could be empty? But we must not create sections with filler. So if no specific skills listed beyond qualifications, we might not include Skills heading. However there is "Skills" maybe implied in responsibilities? But better to omit if no explicit skills list. We have "Physical Requirements" which could be part of Qualifications or separate. Could be included under Qualifications as a paragraph. We have "Reporting Relationships" and "Terms of Employment" and "Pre-Employment Requirements". Those could be under Qualifications or separate sections like "Additional Information". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put them under Qualifications as part of that section. We have "Schedule: 183 days - Scheduled School Year". That's schedule info. So we need a

  Schedule

  with

  containing that. We have "Salary shall be commensurate with education and experience, in accordance with the Somerville Educator's Union collective bargaining agreement." That's pay info but it's vague "commensurate with education and experience". The instruction says: 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. The posting does state salary shall be commensurate with education and experience. That's still vague but it's a statement. However the instruction says avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". That is considered filler/placeholder? It says 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. So if we include Pay heading, we must have substantive content, not just "commensurate with education and experience". That is considered filler. So we should NOT create a Pay section. Benefits: not mentioned. So no Benefits. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Schedule. Possibly also "Physical Requirements" could be under Qualifications. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include license, SEI endorsement required, bilingual preferred, physical requirements, reporting relationships, terms of employment, pre-employment requirements. All within Qualifications section maybe as paragraphs or lists. We must not repeat the job title as heading. The title is "Paraprofessionals". Not to be used. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting includes an EEO statement at end: "The Somerville Public Schools does not discriminate...". That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove "Pre-Employment Requirements MA Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Clearance Fingerprints" - that's substantive? It's a requirement for employment. Should we keep? It's a pre-employment requirement; it's substantive. We'll keep it under Qualifications maybe. We must not include application instructions. Now craft HTML. Structure:

  About the role

  Position Summary Paraprofessionals in the Somerville Public Schools assist teachers in all aspects of the functioning of the classroom, including instruction and maintaining a safe classroom environment. Paraprofessionals contribute to a positive classroom and school environment and collaborate with colleagues to support students in a variety of ways. Paraprofessionals are part of a community of educators who are continuous learners and who have a shared responsibility for student success.

  But note the first sentence repeats "Position Summary". Might be okay. Better to just use the summary text. Now Responsibilities:

  Responsibilities

  • Assist with instruction as directed by the teacher
  • Develop an understanding of the curriculum
  • Support the overall management of the classroom and student behavior
  • Provide small group and/or individual instruction under the direction of the classroom teacher
  • Provide assistance and supervision of students during cafeteria time, recess and if needed, toileting
  • Assist the classroom teacher with the development of curriculum materials
  • Help to create and maintain a safe learning environment
  • Support students’ emotional regulation
  • Collect academic and/or behavioral data as directed
  • Develop and maintain positive, respectful, and appropriate relationships with students
  • Engage positively, respectfully, and professionally with colleagues
  • Collaborate with colleagues to support student learning and success
  • Positively contribute to a classroom and school community that affirms the identities of all students and staff
  • Use practices and approaches that value student diversity
  • Protect student confidentiality
  • Engage in meaningful professional development opportunities and apply the learning from those experiences
  • Understand and utilize appropriate technology
  • Complete required paperwork and duties as assigned
  • Additional duties as assigned by the Principal/Supervisor and in accordance with the SEU Collective Bargaining Agreement
  Now Qualifications: We need to include license, SEI endorsement required, bilingual preferred, physical requirements, reporting relationships, terms of employment, pre-employment requirements. We could break into sub-sections? But only allowed headings list; we could just put everything in Qualifications as paragraphs or lists. Let's craft:

  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.

  Physical Requirements: Standing and walking for prolonged periods; frequent bending, kneeling, stooping, reaching, which may include sitting on the floor to effectively engage with students; use of hands and fingers to operate computers, instructional technology, and classroom materials; sufficient visual, auditory, and verbal ability to supervise students, deliver instruction, and evaluate student performance; ability to lift, carry, and move instructional materials and supplies weighing up to 15 pounds; ability to respond appropriately and promptly to emergency situations to ensure the health and safety of students.

  Reporting Relationships: School Building Principal.

  Terms of Employment: Position Type: Full Time; Employment Status: Full Time; Schedule: 183 days - Scheduled School Year; FLSA Classification: Non Exempt.

  Pre‑Employment Requirements: MA Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) Clearance; Fingerprints.

  But note we already have Schedule section separate; we might duplicate schedule. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We have schedule info both in Qualifications and maybe separate Schedule section. To avoid duplication, we could put schedule only under Schedule section and not repeat in Qualifications. But we need to preserve all substantive information; we can mention schedule in Schedule section and not repeat elsewhere. However the Qualifications section currently includes schedule as part of Terms of Employment. We could keep Terms of Employment without schedule, or we could keep schedule only in Schedule section and mention other terms (Full Time, FLSA) in Qualifications. Let's decide: We'll have a Schedule section with the schedule details. In Qualifications we will include other terms: Position Type Full Time, FLSA Classification Non Exempt. Thus: Qualifications: - License - SEI endorsement required - Bilingual preferred - Physical Requirements (as above) - Reporting Relationships - Terms of Employment (Position Type Full Time, FLSA Classification Non Exempt) - Pre‑Employment Requirements (CORI, Fingerprints) Now Schedule section:

  Schedule

  183 days - Scheduled School Year

  Now we need to ensure we didn't include Pay or Benefits sections. Now check for any filler: We have no "commensurate with experience" etc. Good. Now ensure we removed boilerplate: The EEO statement at end removed. Now ensure we didn't include any navigation etc. Now output only HTML fragment. Let's craft final HTML. Be careful to escape any special characters? Not needed. We'll output:
