We need to output HTML fragment with sections only where content exists. Must use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have real content.
From posting: Title given but we must not repeat job title as heading.
We have sections: About Us - Values Overview (maybe "About the role"? Actually "About Us" is about the organization, not role. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content accordingly.
We have "About Us - Values Overview" describing UNT System values. That could go under "About the role"? Probably not. But we can treat as "About the role" maybe includes overview of department and initiative. The posting includes "Department Summary", "Position Overview". Those are about role/department. So we can put that under
.
Now Requirements: Minimum Qualifications paragraph.
Minimum Qualifications: "Master's degree or higher in Special Education, Exceptional Student Education, Educational Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, or a closely related field from an accredited institution.Demonstrated professional expertise in special education.Experience teaching or supporting students with disabilities in EC–12 educational settings or demonstrated higher education teaching experience in special education.Knowledge of special education assessment, instruction, and IEP development practices."
We need to keep the text as is, maybe add spaces after periods for readability but preserve content.
Physical Requirements: "Communicating with others to exchange information.Lifting and moving objects up to 20 pounds.Moving about to accomplish tasks or moving from one worksite to another."
Environmental Hazards: "No adverse environmental conditions expected."
Driving University Vehicle: "No"
Security Sensitive: "This is a Security Sensitive Position."
Special Instructions: "Applicants must submit a minimum of two professional references as part of their application. If needed, additional references can be added after the application has been submitted."
Now Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications paragraph.
Preferred Qualifications: "Doctoral degree in education or a related field.Current or recent PK–12 teaching or administrative experience.Texas EC–12 Special Education certification or equivalent special education certification.Prior college or university teaching experience.Experience working with special education teacher candidates, clinical teaching, field experiences, or educator preparation programs.Familiarity with Texas educator preparation standards, TEA requirements, and special educator certification examinations.Experience with learning management systems and technology-enhanced instruction."
Now Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list.
We need to extract each as bullet.
List:
- Strong oral and written communication skills
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have real content.

with paragraphs.
Responsibilities: Job Duties list.
Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities.
Benefits: There's a line "Benefits For information regarding our Benefits, click here." No actual benefit details. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only says "For information regarding our Benefits, click here." That's not stating benefits. So we should NOT include Benefits section.
Pay: Salary: $3,500.000 (looks like $3,500.00? maybe typo). That's pay info. So we should include Pay section with that amount.
Schedule: Work Schedule description: "Adjunct faculty assignments may vary by semester and may include face-to-face, online, hybrid, evening, or other instructional formats based on program needs and course scheduling." That's schedule info. So include Schedule.
Also there is "Physical Requirements", "Environmental Hazards", "Driving University Vehicle", "Security Sensitive", "Special Instructions". Those are not in allowed headings; we should not create sections for them unless we map to existing allowed headings? Probably we should drop them as they are not required headings. The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should only use those headings; other info should be incorporated into appropriate sections if possible, else maybe omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include that info somewhere. We could incorporate physical requirements etc. into Responsibilities or maybe a separate section not listed? But instruction says use those headings for section headings; does not forbid other headings? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It might be interpreted as we should use those headings for sections, but we could also have other headings if needed? However they say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Likely they want us to map info to those standard headings. Physical requirements could go under Responsibilities? Not really. Could be under Requirements? Not exactly. Could be under Qualifications? Not.
Maybe we can create a section "Requirements" to include both minimum qualifications and physical requirements? But physical requirements are not qualifications. Could be under "Responsibilities"? Not.
Alternatively, we could keep them as paragraphs under a generic section like "Additional Information" but that heading is not in the list. The instruction says use those headings for section headings; maybe we can still use other headings if needed but they gave examples. Safer to stick to those headings and incorporate all info into them, even if slightly awkward.
Let's see: Physical Requirements: "Communicating with others to exchange information.Lifting and moving objects up to 20 pounds.Moving about to accomplish tasks or moving from one worksite to another." Could be considered part of Responsibilities (duties) or maybe under Requirements (physical ability to perform job). Could be placed under Requirements as part of "Minimum Qualifications"? Not exactly but we could add a paragraph after minimum quals.
Environmental Hazards: "No adverse environmental conditions expected." Could be under Responsibilities or Requirements.
Driving University Vehicle No: maybe under Responsibilities.
Security Sensitive: "This is a Security Sensitive Position." Could be under Requirements or Responsibilities.
Special Instructions: references requirement.
We could create a section "Requirements" that includes Minimum Qualifications, Physical Requirements, Environmental Hazards, Driving University Vehicle, Security Sensitive, Special Instructions. That seems plausible.
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities.
Pay: Salary.
Schedule: Work Schedule.
About the role: Department Summary, Position Overview, About Us - Values Overview (maybe combine). Also maybe include "About Us - Values Overview" as part of About the role.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Remove EEO statement.
We must not include application instructions (Special Instructions about references? That is actually a requirement; we keep it under Requirements). The "Special Instructions" about references is substantive, keep.
Now produce HTML fragment.

We need to ensure we don't include empty sections. Now craft content. About the role: combine Department Summary, Position Overview, About Us - Values Overview. Department Summary: "UNT Dallas is bridging the gap between education and workforce readiness through our innovative Classroom to Career initiative. This initiative integrates experiential learning—such as internships, service learning, and project-based collaborations with industry partners—into every student’s academic journey. By emphasizing high-impact practices, we prepare students with both disciplinary expertise and the essential skills employers value most: communication, adaptability, teamwork, and leadership. Our graduates don’t just earn degrees; they launch purposeful, career-ready futures. We seek faculty across all disciplines who are eager to contribute to this transformative, campus-wide initiative actively." Position Overview repeats same text? Actually Position Overview is same as Department Summary? It appears duplicated. We'll include once. About Us - Values Overview: "Welcome to the University of North Texas System.

We'll combine into a few paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: list from Job Duties. We need to extract each duty as bullet. Job Duties list: - Teach undergraduate and/or graduate courses in special education, consistent with approved course descriptions and the requirements of the EC–12 Special Education educator preparation program. - Prepare and deliver course content using effective, evidence-based instructional practices appropriate for face-to-face, online, hybrid, or other assigned instructional formats. - Develop and maintain course materials, syllabi, assessments, assignments, and instructional resources consistent with program and course expectations. - Provide timely and meaningful feedback to students and maintain accurate student records and grades. - Establish a supportive learning environment that promotes student engagement, academic success, and professional development. - Incorporate current educational research, professional standards, technology, and relevant PK–12 practices into instruction. - Support teacher candidates in developing the knowledge and competencies necessary for successful completion of Texas educator certification requirements and effective practice as EC–12 special education teachers. - Collaborate with CEHD faculty, staff, university supervisors, school district partners, and other stakeholders as appropriate. - Participate in required faculty meetings, orientations, professional development, training, and course coordination activities. - Communicate regularly with the program coordinator or designated faculty supervisor regarding course progress, student concerns, and instructional needs. - Submit required course materials, attendance information, grades, and other documentation by established deadlines. - Maintain professional knowledge and expertise in the assigned teaching area. - Perform other related duties as assigned.
