3rd grade ELA/Social Studies Teacher - IDEA Southeast Academy (Immediaate Opening)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions.
We need to parse the description.
Key sections:
- Role Mission: description of responsibilities? Actually "Role Mission" is a paragraph describing responsibilities. Could be part of "About the role" or "Responsibilities". The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which headings to include based on content.
We have:
- "What We Offer" includes compensation, benefits.
- "Compensation": starting teacher salary $63,500, stipends $500-$4,000, performance-based compensation, additional hourly compensation for after school tutoring or Saturday school.
- "Other Benefits": comprehensive benefits plan, Paid Family Leave, Tuition Reimbursement, Employer-Paid Mental/Behavioral Health, dental/vision, disability, life insurance, parenting benefits, flexible spending, vacation, referral bonuses, professional development, 403(b), relocation allowance.
- "What You Bring -- Competencies": includes Qualifications, Education, Experience, Licenses or Certifications, Knowledge And Skills.
- "Responsibilities What You’ll Do -- Accountabilities": list of duties.
- "We look for Team and Family who embody the following values and characteristics:" list of values.
- "About IDEA Public Schools": description of organization.
- "Staff Experience": description.
- "To Apply": application instructions (should be removed).
- EEO statement: should be removed.
Thus we need sections: About the role (maybe mission), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe qualifications), Qualifications (maybe overlapping), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's extract substantive content.
Mission paragraph: "IDEA Early Education teachers are responsible for ensuring that every IDEA student masters the academic and social skills necessary to succeed in college, while also embodying IDEA’s values daily. In addition, IDEA Early Education teachers set ambitious goals for student achievement and invest students and families in accomplishing them; create a powerful learning environment; plan and deliver purposeful, rigorous instruction; assess for mastery and track student progress toward goals; analyze data to intervene and adjust instruction; and seek excellence as an educator and an IDEA team member. Academy core subjects are state assessed in 3rd grade."
That's a description of role/responsibilities. Could go under "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Since we have a separate Responsibilities section later with bullet list, we could put mission under "About the role". We'll include About the role heading with that paragraph.
Responsibilities: list after "What You’ll Do -- Accountabilities". Let's extract bullet points:
- Implement state learning standards and IDEA curricula and assessments to meet ambitious academic expectations
- Submit weekly lesson plans two weeks in advance for feedback
- Implement formal and informal assessments to track each individual student’s progress and learning needs, adjust lesson plans accordingly and update gradebook weekly
- Communicate students’ progress with student and family on a weekly basis
- Effective facilitation and personal use of technology as a communication and educational tool to improve student achievement and manage work related tasks.
- Implement a clear and consistent behavior management system that aligns to campus- wide initiatives while developing students’ character and sense of community in the classroom
- Help shape and develop a school wide culture that fosters a productive and enthusiastic learning environment for each student
- Establish and maintain a cooperative working relationship with students and families based on trust, understanding and respect for the communities in which they identify.
- Host necessary tutoring sessions to meet all students’ needs
- Participate in weekly manager check-ins, grade-level meetings, before and after-school duties, and school wide meetings and functions
- Engage in summer and year-long district, school and personal learning and development
- Minimum of 40+ hours spent at school per week
- Additional responsibilities may include: after-school tutoring or Saturday school and are based on the needs of our scholars
Also earlier mention: "Additional hourly compensation is provided for after school tutoring or Saturday school as assigned." That's compensation.
Now "We look for Team and Family who embody the following values and characteristics:" list:
- Believes and is committed to our mission and being an agent of change: that all students are capable of getting to and through college
- Has demonstrated effective outcomes and results, and wants to be held accountable for them
- Has a propensity for action, willing to make mistakes by doing in order to learn and improve quickly
- Works with urgency and purpose to drive student outcomes
- Thrives in an entrepreneurial, high-growth environment; is comfortable with ambiguity and change
- Seeks and responds well to feedback, which is shared often and freely across all levels of the organization
- Works through silos and forges strong cross-departmental relationships in order to achieve outcomes
- We believe in education as a profession and hold ourselves to high level of conduct, professionalism and behaviors as models for our colleagues and students.
These could be under "Skills" or maybe "Qualifications"? They are values/characteristics. Could be under "Skills" or maybe a separate section like "Values". But only allowed headings list includes Skills. We'll put them under Skills.
Now Qualifications: "What You Bring -- Competencies" includes:
- Qualifications
- High level of content-area proficiency as evidenced by teaching certification, field of study, or work-experience (strongly preferred)
- Education: Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited four-year educational institution (required)
- Experience: Experience in a K-12 classroom setting (strongly preferred)
- Licenses or Certifications: Teachers of record for students in K-3 must possess appropriate Reading Academies certification in accordance with TEA requirements or must be willing and able to obtain all relevant TX training within required timelines.
- Bilingual certification strongly preferred, content and ESL certification preferred (not required)
- Knowledge And Skills
- Knowledge of core academic subject assigned and ability to pass an IDEA content assessment
- Knowledge of curriculum and instruction
- Ability to instruct students and manage student behavior
- Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills
- Ability to adjust and adapt to a multitude of situations in the school environment
Thus we have Qualifications and Knowledge And Skills. The instruction says we can have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We could combine Qualifications and Knowledge And Skills into Qualifications section, or separate. Since we have both, we could make Qualifications section for the bullet list of qualifications (education, experience, certifications) and Skills section for knowledge and skills list. Or we could merge. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe combine into one Qualifications section that includes both. But we also have Skills section for values/characteristics. Let's decide:
- About the role: mission paragraph.
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
- Qualifications: combine education, experience, certifications, knowledge/skills (core academic subject, curriculum, instruction, ability to instruct, organizational skills, adaptability). Could also include "High level of content-area proficiency..." etc.
- Skills: values/characteristics list.
- Benefits: benefits list.
- Pay: compensation details.
- Schedule: maybe mention minimum 40+ hours per week, after-school tutoring, Saturday school. That's schedule info. Could be under Schedule.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics.
Now we must remove boilerplate: "To Apply Please submit your application online through Jobvite..." etc. Remove EEO statement. Remove duplicated lines. Also remove navigation etc.
Now produce HTML fragment with headings and - for lists,
