for headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience" etc? Actually we can include salary range but not filler like "commensurate with experience" is okay? The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we can include Pay section if salary range is given. It says "Salary Range & Benefits: $64,000 - $66,000, commensurate with experience." The phrase "commensurate with experience" is filler? It's considered filler? The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). That suggests we should not have a Pay section that only contains "commensurate with experience". But we have actual salary range $64,000 - $66,000. So we can include Pay section with that range. The phrase "commensurate with experience" might be considered filler but it's attached to the range; we could include both? Probably okay to include the range and note that it's commensurate with experience. But to be safe, we could include just the range and maybe mention it's commensurate with experience as part of the text. The instruction says never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", ...). That means if the only content under Pay heading is "commensurate with experience", that's not allowed. But we have actual numbers, so it's fine.
Similarly Benefits: we have comprehensive benefits package including medical, vision, dental, life insurance, generous employer retirement contributions, wellness resources and tuition waiver effective on date of hire. That's substantive.
Schedule: Not mentioned explicitly. There's no schedule info. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe a brief paragraph summarizing role). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe combine abilities). Benefits. Pay.
We must not repeat job title. Use headings only for sections with content.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About the role: The Early Childhood Education program at GVSU is looking for a tenure track faculty member to join the Department of Teaching and Learning in the College of Education & Community Innovation at the assistant professor level to serve primarily undergraduate students taking courses in early childhood education that also fulfill general education requirements.
That's about the role.
Responsibilities: Primary responsibilities include: teaching undergraduate courses in early childhood and early childhood special education, both in person and using online modalities; supervising candidates in the field; participating in service obligations; and conducting meaningful research that will be disseminated to a diverse audience.
Also later: Primary Duties list: Teach undergraduate courses in early childhood, both in person and using online synchronous and asynchronous modalities; Supervise candidates in diverse settings and using online tools; Maintain clear and professional communication with students and colleagues; Use evidence-based teaching practices that emphasize active learning, inquiry, anti-bias education, and critical reflection, to support students as they learn to work effectively with young children and their families and future colleagues; Engage in service activities at the program, unit, college, university, and community level; Conduct and disseminate meaningful scholarship.
We should combine these into a list.
Requirements: Required Qualifications And Education: An earned PhD or EdD degree or ABD (with expected graduation by August 2027) by an accredited institution in Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Special Education, Child Development, Instruction and Curriculum, or Teacher Education with an emphasis in Early Childhood, Family Studies, or Human or Child Development; At least three years experience working with a range of young children and/or young children with disabilities and their families in an education setting (ages infant/toddler, preschool, and/or early elementary); The ability to consistently teach face to face courses on GVSU City and Valley campuses; An interest in teaching coursework that addresses the philosophies, theories, and historical foundations of early childhood education; The capacity to travel to provide clinical supervision in diverse settings; The ability to engage with a variety of technologies to deliver instruction face to face and in online synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid modalities; Demonstrated excellence in delivering high quality and engaging instruction to adult learners; A passion for teaching culturally relevant, responsive, and sustaining pedagogies and preparing educators to work with diverse populations; A commitment to educating the whole child and promoting inclusive teaching practices; Strong interpersonal communication and collaboration skills; A research agenda, with the ability to disseminate findings to a scholarly audience; An interest in working as part of a team in developing, implementing, and evaluating programs and activities that support programs in early childhood education; An interest in contributing professional expertise to the community and profession.
That's a lot. We'll list as
- .
Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications And Education: Experience teaching adult learners at the university or college level, particularly as it relates to the Foundations and Philosophies of Early Childhood, Observation and Documentation, Child Guidance, Collaborating with Families, and Play-Based Curriculum courses; Knowledge and familiarity with the seminal texts of the field, including those that relate to the history of education and more contemporary insights around the application of these principles; More than five years experience working with diverse populations as a licensed educator within an early childhood setting, particularly in early elementary settings; The ZA, ZS, or ZN teaching endorsement, as awarded by the Michigan Department of Education; Experience or familiarity with teaching courses that meet General Education requirements and serve primarily first and second year students from a variety of academic disciplines; Professional membership or involvement with NAEYC or CEC; Experience teaching with the Blackboard Ultra Learning Management System; A promising track record of disseminating research in peer-reviewed journals, books, and through scholarly presentations; Experience with program evaluation and/or with accreditation standards.
We'll list.
Skills: Could be derived from abilities: ability to teach face to face, online, use technologies, communication, collaboration, etc. But we might not need a separate Skills section if we already covered in Responsibilities/Requirements. However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Skills into Requirements or Responsibilities. But we have to use headings only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting does not explicitly list a "Skills" section; but we could infer skills from responsibilities. However better to not create a Skills section unless there is explicit skill list. There is not. So we omit Skills.
Benefits: Comprehensive benefits package including medical, vision, dental, life insurance, generous employer retirement contributions, wellness resources and tuition waiver effective on date of hire.
Pay: Salary Range & Benefits: $64,000 - $66,000, commensurate with experience. We'll put Pay section with that range.
Schedule: Not present, omit.
We also need to include maybe "Working Conditions" but not a heading per instruction; we could include as part of Responsibilities? But it's not required. The instruction says include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. Working Conditions is present: "Typical office environment, some travel may be required." That's specific. Could be part of Responsibilities or a separate section like "Working Conditions". But headings list only includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we cannot add Working Conditions heading. We could fold it into Responsibilities as a bullet. That's acceptable.
Also need to include application instructions? Remove them. So we exclude How To Apply, etc.
Also remove boilerplate like EEO, ADA, etc.
