We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. The posting is a job summary for Adjunct Faculty, with many duties. No explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule details (though mentions working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends; that's schedule info). There's no explicit Pay or Benefits. There's no explicit Qualifications or Skills listed; but there are requirements like "must be available for on-site teaching", "must have required professional credentials, licensing, continuing education hours". Might be considered Requirements/Qualifications. The posting includes "Physical Demands" but that's not a section we have; we can ignore or maybe incorporate into Responsibilities? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - About the role: could be the job summary paragraph describing role. Yes. - Responsibilities: the essential duties and responsibilities list. Yes. - Requirements: maybe includes "must be available for on-site teaching", "must maintain required professional credentials, licensing, continuing education hours", "must handle sensitive information", "attend workplace regularly", etc. Also "must be able to lift up to 10 lbs frequently, 25 lbs occasionally", vision abilities. Those could be requirements. But we need to see if they are specific enough. Probably yes. - Qualifications: maybe not explicitly listed; but could be similar to Requirements. The posting doesn't separate qualifications. Might be better to not create Qualifications if no explicit qualifications like degree, experience. There's mention of graduate courses, professional development, but not explicit required degree. Might be ambiguous. Safer to omit Qualifications if not explicit. - Skills: not explicit list; could infer but better not. - Benefits: none. - Pay: none. - Schedule: mention "Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule. We need to use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID etc. We need to strip boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract content. Job Summary paragraph: "Adjunct Faculty are professional educators who work on a limited basis and have the primary responsibility of fulfilling the Texas Southmost College’s ( TSC ) mission, vision, values and goals of providing a quality education for all students enrolled at the College. The relationship of the adjunct faculty member to the student is one of leader, teacher, advisor, and facilitator of learning. Adjunct Faculty members are responsible to the College President through a chain of command and accountable to the College’s policies and procedures. The Adjunct Dual Credit Instructor for Computer Science must be available for on-site teaching at the various TSC campuses or High School locations. This is not an online position." That's about the role. Now Responsibilities: The "Essential Duties And Responsibilities Categories below constitute the expectations for the adjunct faculty member." Then a long list of duties. We need to capture them as list items. Let's parse the duties: - Strive for continual improvement of student success by planning an optimal learning environment; providing high quality instruction and advising; participating in the development of learning outcomes and in the assessment of students as well as of self and applied teaching techniques in order to increase effectiveness; and engaging in ongoing professional development. - Manage learning environments by ensuring that accurate syllabi are developed that incorporate departmental, college and instructor requirements; maintaining attendance records, submitting grades, and providing constructive feedback as well as other relevant information to students throughout the semester; and conducting classes punctually and in accordance with the prescribed meeting schedule. - Deliver effective, on-site, face-to-face instruction by assuming primary responsibility for curriculum development in conjunction with the College’s policies and procedures, ensuring both rigor and the quality of instruction; by considering individual differences of students in order to design and support a range of appropriate learning activities; by using the College’s learning solutions to meet the objectives of courses; and by communicating clearly to students the expectations concerning the use of the College’s learning solutions and other available technologies. - Enhance the student’s learning experience by integrating concrete, real-life situations into learning experiences to encourage critical thinking, interdisciplinary skills and teamwork; by employing methods that develop student understanding of discipline-specific thinking, practices and procedures, as well as interdisciplinary applications, to create academic literacy; and by working with students and employers in occupational settings as required by or appropriate to the academic discipline. - Collaborate with colleagues across the College in the construction and continuous improvement of measurable learning outcomes to include the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board ( THECB ) core curriculum objectives and additional Texas Southmost College’s objectives. - Assess student learning by designing assessments that measure or demonstrate student growth; by sequencing learning opportunities throughout advising, courses and programs to build student understanding and knowledge; and by aligning assessment with learning opportunities. - Promote continual improvement as part of the cycle of teaching and learning by developing and revising curriculum as needed and using defined student learning outcomes to plan, develop, document and evaluate the effectiveness of teaching activities. - Support TSC’s institutional effectiveness program by understanding the preparation and evaluations of Student Outcomes Assessment Plans (SOAPs); completing all mandatory performance evaluation measures within specified time limits; sharing best practices with colleagues in formal and informal settings; and striving toward improved educational effectiveness. - Support learning through student engagement by creating a positive classroom atmosphere that encourages active and collaborative learning, student effort, academic challenge, student and faculty interaction, and support for learners. - Maintain a learning-centered environment by being available to students during the designated work period. - Support student learning by making students aware of and referring them to the appropriate student and academic support services available at the College. - Pursue professional development by taking graduate courses or internal classes offered by the College or professional development organizations, as appropriate and by maintaining required professional credentials, licensing, and continuing education hours as disciplinary standards dictate. - Participate collegially in discipline-specific activities developed for adjunct faculty, as appropriate. - Handle sensitive and extensive confidential information. - Attend the workplace regularly, report to work punctually, and follow a work schedule to keep up with the demands of the worksite. - Complete duties and responsibilities in compliance with college standards, policies and guidelines. - Promote positive morale and teamwork within the functional unit and provide exceptional customer service to students, faculty and the community. - Use interpersonal skills and make sound judgments to decide how duties and responsibilities are completed between coworkers, the supervisory chain, faculty, staff, students, and customers. - Complete all required training and professional development sessions sponsored by Texas Southmost College ( TSC ). - Support the values and institutional goals as defined in the College’s Strategic Plan. - Assist with the process for systematic review and evaluation of the planning unit per the model adopted by the College, including the development and monitoring of outcomes and plans of action for improvement based on the assessment of those outcomes and plans. - Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events. - Perform duties and responsibilities within a high-tech all-digital environment. - Perform other duties as assigned. That's many items. We'll put each as

  • . Now Requirements: We need to extract requirements from the posting. The posting includes "must be available for on-site teaching", "must maintain required professional credentials, licensing, and continuing education hours", "must handle sensitive information", "must attend workplace regularly", "must be able to lift up to 10 pounds frequently and occasionally up to 25 pounds", vision abilities: close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, ability to adjust focus. Also "must be able to stand frequently", occasional walk, sit, use hands, reach, climb/balance, stoop/kneel/crouch/crawl, talk/hear, taste/smell. Also "must complete required training". Also "must support values". But many of those are duties. However we can treat physical demands and availability as requirements. We'll create a list of requirements: - Must be available for on-site teaching at various TSC campuses or high school locations (not online). - Must maintain required professional credentials, licensing, and continuing education hours as disciplinary standards dictate. - Must handle sensitive and extensive confidential information. - Must attend the workplace regularly, report to work punctually, and follow a work schedule. - Must be able to stand frequently; occasionally walk, sit, use hands to finger, handle, or feel objects, tools, or controls; reach with hands and arms; climb or balance; stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl; talk or hear; and taste or smell. - Must frequently lift and/or move up to 10 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. - Must have close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and ability to adjust focus. - Must complete all required training and professional development sessions sponsored by TSC. - Must support the values and institutional goals as defined in the College’s Strategic Plan. We could also include "must pursue professional development by taking graduate courses or internal classes..." but that's more duty. We'll keep as above. Now Schedule: "Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events." Also maybe mention "must attend workplace regularly, report to work punctually, and follow a work schedule". But schedule section can contain that statement. We'll output:

    We must ensure no extra sections like Benefits, Pay, Qualifications, Skills. Now we need to preserve all substantive information; we must not lose any details from the responsibilities list. Let's ensure we capture each duty exactly as in text, maybe split by semicolons? But each duty is a sentence with multiple clauses separated by semicolons. We'll keep each duty as a single list item, preserving the original wording. Let's copy each duty exactly as in the posting, preserving punctuation. I'll list them: 1. Strive for continual improvement of student success by planning an optimal learning environment; providing high quality instruction and advising; participating in the development of learning outcomes and in the assessment of students as well as of self and applied teaching techniques in order to increase effectiveness; and engaging in ongoing professional development. 2.
