We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the job description and extract sections. The posting includes: - Primary Responsibility description (first paragraph). Could be "About the role" maybe. - Pre-requisites For Position (Qualifications Standards) includes qualifications. - Special Skills or abilities directly applicable to the position: list. - Welcoming. Innovative. Focused on Student Success. These principles reflect... (maybe about culture, could be part of About the role or maybe separate but not a required heading.) - Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to working effectively with students, employees, and community members of all backgrounds. Bilingual (English/Spanish) Or Conversational Language Abilities Preferred. - Minimum Qualifications Essential Duties (maybe responsibilities). Actually there is a heading "Minimum Qualifications Essential Duties". Then list of responsibilities. - Supervision of the Position: reports to Assistant Dean of Instruction. - Supervisory Responsibility: may supervise student employees. - Special Conditions of Employment: background check, motor vehicles records, safety policies, travel, evening/weekend hours. - Working Conditions: description of physical demands, computer use, etc. - CMC is committed to full inclusion... accommodation statement. - NOTE: This position description is intended... (boilerplate, can drop). - Each role at Colorado Mountain College contributes to the institution’s sustainability initiatives... (maybe can be part of About the role or separate but not required heading.) We need to decide sections. We have content for: - About the role: could include primary responsibility description, mission, focus on teaching, etc. - Responsibilities: list of teaching responsibilities, scholarly activities, service activities, etc. - Requirements: maybe minimum qualifications (education, experience). Could be under Qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? The instruction says we can have sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid duplication. We can combine. We need to decide which headings to include based on actual content. We have: - About the role: we have description of role, mission, teaching focus, etc. - Responsibilities: we have list of duties (teaching responsibilities, scholarly activities, service activities, etc.) - Requirements/Qualifications: we have qualifications: master's degree, teaching experience, etc. - Skills: we have special skills or abilities: knowledge with pedagogy, teaching experience, strong background in computers and technology, excellent organizational skills, general office skills, communication, interpersonal, willingness to learn, ability to research and analyze data, work independently, welcoming, innovative, focused on student success, bilingual preferred. - Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly. No benefits details. So we should not include Benefits heading. - Pay: Not mentioned. So omit. - Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly (though mentions may require travel and evening/weekend hours). That's more working conditions, not schedule. Could be under Working Conditions but we don't have a heading for Working Conditions; we could include under Responsibilities? But we have no heading for Working Conditions. The instruction only allows those headings; we cannot add new headings like Working Conditions. However we could incorporate schedule info under Responsibilities or maybe under Skills? Not appropriate. The instruction says: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. So we cannot create a Schedule section if no specific schedule info. The posting mentions "May require travel and evening and/or weekend hours." That is schedule-related but not a specific schedule. Might be considered schedule info. But we don't have a heading for schedule? Actually we do have Schedule as allowed heading. So we could include Schedule section with that info. However the instruction says: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could incorporate schedule info into Responsibilities or Working Conditions but we don't have Working Conditions heading. Could we put schedule info under Responsibilities? Might be okay but it's not a responsibility per se. Could put under Skills? No. Better to create a Schedule section with that specific note: "May require travel and evening and/or weekend hours." That's specific enough. Benefits: none. Pay: none. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Schedule. We need to decide between Requirements and Qualifications. The posting has "Pre-requisites For Position (Qualifications Standards)" and "Minimum Qualifications Essential Duties". Actually the latter is duties. So we have qualifications separate from duties. So we can have Qualifications section for education/experience requirements. And Responsibilities for duties. Skills section for special skills/abilities. Thus we will output:

About the role

... (combined description of primary responsibility, mission, focus on teaching, commitment to learning, etc.)

Responsibilities

  • Evaluate courses and assess student learning
  • Meet established course, program and learning outcomes

But we need to avoid duplication: some items like "Supervision of the Position" and "Supervisory Responsibility" are separate but we can combine. We also have "Special Conditions of Employment": background check, motor vehicles records, safety policies, travel, evening/weekend hours. Some of those could go under Schedule (travel, evening/weekend) and maybe under Responsibilities? But we have schedule section. We also have Working Conditions description: physical demands, computer use, etc. Could we put under Responsibilities? Not really. Could we create a separate section? Not allowed headings. Could we incorporate into About the role? Might be okay but it's not about role. Could we put under Skills? No. Maybe we can incorporate Working Conditions into Responsibilities as bullet points? Might be odd but we could include as part of responsibilities? Not ideal. Alternatively, we could create a section "Working Conditions" but not allowed headings. The instruction only lists allowed headings; we must not use other headings. So we must fit that info somewhere else. We could put Working Conditions details into the About the role paragraph as a sentence: "The position requires constant sitting, occasional walking, standing and driving; ..." That seems plausible as part of role description. Similarly, Special Conditions of Employment (background check, motor vehicles records, safety policies) could be placed under Responsibilities as bullet points? Or maybe under About the role as well. But we already have Schedule section for travel and evening/weekend hours. So we can move those to Schedule. Thus Schedule section: "

May require travel and evening and/or weekend hours.

" Now we need to ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract substantive content: From posting: Primary Responsibility paragraph: "The adjunct faculty members of Colorado Mountain College are here to assist students in their learning process by utilizing all appropriate staff resources, materials, facilities, and educational technologies available which complement the teaching process. The faculty members needs to be committed to facilitating learning throughout our communities. Although teaching is the most important role of the faculty, the needs of our learners are also served when faculty are engaged in scholarly endeavors as well as service activities. The college seeks innovative facilitators of learning who are active in the art of teaching and passionate about extending academic opportunities to all students.

CMC does not conduct research but instead focuses on excellence in teaching and learning in diverse classroom settings and programs. Successful candidates will demonstrate a passion for dynamic classroom experiences and excellent academic opportunities and student support." We can use that for About the role. Pre-requisites For Position (Qualifications Standards): "Qualified candidates must be credentialed to teach in the specific program or eligible to be credentialed. Examples of ideal qualifications include: A minimum of a master’s degree in a specific degree for the position being recruited or a Master’s Degree with a minimum of 18 graduate credits in a specifically related field.

Higher education teaching experience preferred. An equivalent/applicable combination of education and experience to perform the duties and responsibilities of the position required." We can put that under Qualifications. Special Skills or abilities directly applicable to the position: "knowledge with pedagogy, and teaching experience equating to two years. Must possess a strong background in computers and technology, excellent organizational skills, general office skills (filing, typing, answering the phone, customer oriented and attention to detail); excellent communication and interpersonal skills, willingness to learn, ability to research and effectively analyze data, work independently towards established goals and deadlines. Welcoming. Innovative. Focused on Student Success." Also "Applicants must demonstrate a commitment to working effectively with students, employees, and community members of all backgrounds. Bilingual (English/Spanish) Or Conversational Language Abilities Preferred." We can put those under Skills. Minimum Qualifications Essential Duties: list of responsibilities. We'll extract each bullet. Let's list them: - Teaching responsibilities expected of all faculty include teaching course load as assigned, evaluate courses and assess student learning, meet established course, program and learning outcomes, comply with guidelines and policies, maintain office hours per established standards, develop rapport with students, assist with and participate in advising, orientation and registration activities. - CMC Faculty are expected to engage in scholarly and creative activities that enhance discipline expertise and enhance learning. - Service activities such as campus and college committees, participate in relevant projects, mentor peers, participate in and assist with assessment activities, program review, student organization, recruiting and retention. - All faculty acknowledge that final payment of any contract may be withheld until submission of grades is complete. - To teach classes as assigned by designated supervisor. - To prepare appropriate lesson plans for each course in accordance with approved course objectives. - To develop and submit course outlines and syllabi to appropriate supervisor. - To assist with development of measurable course objectives and plans. - To develop a relationship with students & staff that is professional and encourages teacher/student communication. - To maintain accurate course records of students and complete course forms as required. - Be available for student consultation. - To assist in the recruitment of students, as appropriate. - When agreed upon, and as appropriate, to assist in the evaluation of curriculum and instructional performance. - To represent the college in a professional manner throughout the communities and college
