4K SEA (0.7) & 4K EA (0.1) - 0.8 FTE - Lincoln - 26-27 SY
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions.
We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Title: Student Services Lincoln Elementary (maybe job title). Not to repeat as heading.
- Starting Compensation: $25.47 Hourly Wage (26-27 Salary Schedule) -> Pay section.
- Employment Type: Non-Exempt -> maybe Schedule? Actually schedule not given. Could be part of Pay? Not schedule. Could be included in a short paragraph metadata.
- "Why You Should Work with MMSD!" etc. That's about district vision. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe description of position. We have "Purpose Of Position" etc. That's about role.
- "Becoming a Model School District" etc. That's district vision, maybe "About the role"? Might be considered "About the role" or "About the district". But we only have allowed headings; we can put that under "About the role" or maybe "About the role" includes purpose and district info.
- "About Our District" also district info.
- "Purpose Of Position" details.
- "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" big list.
- "Other Duties as Assigned"
- "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Required to Perform Essential Job Functions:" list.
- "Required Qualifications"
- "License Or Certification Requirements"
- "Physical Requirements"
- "Working Conditions"
- The rest: "The above statements are intended..." maybe boilerplate; we can drop.
We need to map to allowed headings:
- About the role: could include purpose of position, district vision, maybe "Why You Should Work with MMSD!" but that's more about district. We'll include purpose and district description.
- Responsibilities: essential duties and responsibilities plus other duties as assigned.
- Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" plus "License Or Certification Requirements" plus "Physical Requirements" plus "Working Conditions"? But we have separate headings for Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have both Requirements and Qualifications separate. Likely Requirements = general eligibility (education, etc). Qualifications = specific qualifications/licenses. Skills = knowledge, skills, abilities.
Thus:
- About the role: purpose + district vision + why work with MMSD.
- Responsibilities: essential duties and responsibilities + other duties as assigned.
- Requirements: maybe "Have an Associate’s Degree Have completed 48 academic credits beyond high school Pass an onsite assessment offered by the District in lieu of meeting one of the requirements above." That's the qualification alternatives. Could be considered Requirements.
- Qualifications: "License Or Certification Requirements Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction Special Education Program Aide License (1015)."
- Skills: "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Required to Perform Essential Job Functions:" list.
- Benefits: posting mentions "In addition, we have a great compensation package. Visit our benefits page and compensation page for more information." No specific benefits listed. So we cannot create Benefits section because no specific content. So omit Benefits.
- Pay: Starting Compensation: $25.47 Hourly Wage (26-27 Salary Schedule). That's specific. So include Pay.
- Schedule: Not given. Employment Type: Non-Exempt maybe indicates full-time? Not schedule. No schedule details. So omit Schedule.
We also need to include minor metadata like Employment Type maybe in a short p.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as written, but we can format into HTML.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus for each section we need to decide if content is prose or list.
Let's extract content.
About the role: combine:
- "Why You Should Work with MMSD! The Madison Metropolitan School District (MMSD) is the second-largest school district in Wisconsin. We have a simple but bold vision — to ensure that every school is a thriving school, that prepares every student to graduate from high school ready for college, career, and community. We welcome applicants who will actively contribute to our ongoing commitment to making MMSD a thriving, welcoming environment for all students, families and staff. In addition, we have a great compensation package. Visit our benefits page and compensation page for more information."
- "Becoming a Model School District The Madison Metropolitan School District is committed to being anti-racist, culturally responsive, and inclusive. We have a simple but bold vision — to ensure that every school is a thriving school, fostering the growth of every student so they graduate from high school ready for college, career and community. Our strategy is captured in our strategic framework , and centers on three major goals: that all children achieve academically, that our schools are places where children and adults thrive, and that our Black youth excel at school. To achieve this vision, we seek to retain staff in all positions, who are committed to being anti-racist, culturally responsive, and inclusive. Staff who will actively contribute to our ongoing commitment to making MMSD a thriving, welcoming environment for all students, families and staff. We firmly believe in and are here to create a work environment that is challenging and rewarding, while supporting employees in their career path. We strive to provide, encourage, grow, and develop a talented workforce that better supports and represents the diversity of our student population. We know this vision doesn't come to life without dynamic leaders and support staff in every school."
- "About Our District The Madison Metropolitan School District is the second largest school district in Wisconsin. The district serves a beautifully diverse population of more than 25,000 students. More than half are students of color. Almost half come from low income households. Nearly one third are English Language Learners, and more than 100 languages are represented in our schools. Madison schools are committed to making this district a place where every child thrives."
- "Purpose Of Position Under the direct or general supervision of a building principal or department leader and the daily direction of a Special Education Teacher or Student Services staff, the Special Education Assistant performs highly specialized work with students with disabilities across the developmental lifespan. This position adapts to the specific needs of the assigned population: fostering foundational development in early childhood, supporting academic access in 4K-12, providing necessary supplementary aids and services to follow student Individual Education Programs (IEPs), Behavior Support, Regulation Plans, and coaching vocational independence in 18–21-year-old transition services. The exact population served will vary depending on the location and assignment of the role."
We can combine these into prose paragraphs.
Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities list with subcategories: Instructional Support & Academic Assistance, Behavioral Intervention & Student Supervision, Personal Care & Physical Assistance, Data Collection & Documentation, Team Collaboration & Logistics. Each has bullet-like sentences. We'll need to convert to
- . The content includes many details; we should preserve them as list items, maybe each sentence as a li. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we can break each sentence into separate li? Might be okay but could be many. Better to keep each paragraph as a li? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to treat the duties as a list. We can make each major duty as a li, preserving the text inside.
We'll need to extract each duty sentence.
Let's list them:
From "Instructional Support & Academic Assistance Early Childhood (4K): Support "learning through play-based activities" by navigating centers (sensory, blocks, dramatic play) and scaffolding foundational skills like tool use (e.g., scissors, glue) and letter recognition. Academic Reinforcement (4K-12): Implement modified curriculum and intervention strategies to maximize student independence within the general education environment. Transition (Ages 18–21): Provide on-site job coaching at community work-sites. Perform task analysis to break down vocational duties into manageable steps and gradually fade support as the student gains mastery. Inclusive Literacy: Prepare adapted materials (e.g., recorded books, visual schedules, or communication boards) to ensure all students can access content at their developmental level."
That's a paragraph with multiple sentences separated by periods. We could split into separate li for each sentence.
Similarly "Behavioral Intervention & Student Supervision Positive Behavior Support: Assist with monitoring and implementing positive behavior strategies, behavior intervention plans (BIPs), and "safe space" procedures. This includes supporting students in emotional regulation and behavioral success using district-approved techniques and safety protocols; providing high-quality supervision during lunch, recess, field trips, and the loading/unloading of school buses; and coaching professional workplace etiquette and social cues. Environmental Adaptation: Assist in modifying the physical and social environment to foster a sense of belonging and increase student engagement in classroom and community activities. Active Supervision: Maintain proactive, focused awareness of all students by intentionally positioning oneself to see and hear at all times. This involves scanning the environment to anticipate risks and provide a safety net while still allowing for student growth. This includes, but is not limited to: Performing frequent headcounts and maintaining "reach-close" proximity during playground transitions or high-sensory play. Strategically moving throughout the room during lessons, maintaining a "line of sight" for all students, and recognizing early precursors to behavioral or medical distress to intervene before an escalation occurs. Utilizing "discreet shadowing" at a community job site, monitoring from a distance to ensure the student navigates the workplace safely without hindering their professional independence."
Again many sentences.
"Personal Care & Physical Assistance Daily Living Support: Perform sensitive personal care tasks, including changing/dressing, eating, diapering/potty training, bathroom assistance, and administering tube feedings or medications per health plans. Dignified Assistance: Ensure all care is performed with the highest respect for privacy and age-appropriateness. Mobility & Technology: Assist with student transfers and the application of adaptive devices (wheelchairs, standers, gait trainers). Coach students to use high- or low-tech communication devices to advocate for their own needs. Hygiene: Maintain strict sanitation protocols and PPE usage to ensure a safe environment for students and staff."
"Data Collection & Documentation Progress Monitoring: Record objective data, as directed by CC Teachers, that can be used for the development of student programming. This data could be related to a student's IEP goals, developmental milestones, ABC behavior logs, and Post-Secondary Transition Plan (PTP) vocational metrics (18–21). Communication: Provide information contributing to notebooks, "Home-to-School" folders or electronic logs to provide families and teams with daily updates on successes, care needs, and community performance. Confidentiality: Ensure absolute FERPA/HIPAA compliance regarding all student records, acknowledging the legal status of students who have reached the age of majority."
"Team Collaboration & Logistics Multidisciplinary Feedback: Collaborate with teachers, OT, PT, SLP, and external agencies (like the DVR) to provide feedback on the effectiveness of modifications. Operational Readiness: Prepare sensory kits (playdough, heavy work tools) and organize the learning or vocational environment. Community Logistics: Coordinate and execute daily travel schedules for community-based instruction and work-site rotations."
"Other Duties as Assigned Perform other duties as assigned by leadership or their representatives or designees. Attend district and school functions that support MMSD’s strategic framework, initiatives, and core values. Complete any and all district-required training. Build collaborative relationships with business partners."
We'll need to preserve all that.
Requirements: "Candidates must meet one of
