Assistant Teacher in Burien
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should not repeat job title as heading. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We need to preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- About Akin: description of organization. Could be "About the role"? Actually "About Akin" is about organization, not role. But we can map to "About the role"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when appropriate. If content matches, we use that heading. If not, we might not use those headings? Probably we should stick to those headings for sections we include. For "About Akin" we could treat as "About the role"? Might be okay. But maybe better to include "About the role" heading and put the description of the role (Position Summary) there. The "About Akin" could be considered background but not required. However we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere. Could put under "About the role" heading? Might be mixing. Could also create a custom heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those headings only. So we need to map content to those categories.
Let's identify sections:
- About the role: could include Position Summary and maybe About Akin? Position Summary describes role. We'll put that.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications? Also maybe Required Within 30 Days Of Hire? That's more like requirements after hire. Could be under Requirements.
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications? Also Minimum Qualifications could be under Qualifications. But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Use "Requirements" for mandatory qualifications (Minimum Qualifications, required trainings, etc.). Use "Qualifications" for preferred qualifications (language skills). Use "Skills" for knowledge, skills, abilities section.
- Benefits: Salary Range And Benefits section includes benefits description.
- Pay: Salary range specifics.
- Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned; there is mention of rotating schedule, ability to work rotating schedule for duration of center operating hours, monthly evening meetings, after hours events. Could be considered schedule info. We'll include a Schedule section with that info.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's none evident besides maybe the link for MERIT. That's part of requirements (background check). Keep it.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not doing.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. None.
Now produce HTML fragment.

Structure:
About the role
... (Position Summary plus maybe About Akin?)
But we need to include About Akin description. Could we put that under About the role as well? Might be okay but it's about organization not role. However we need to preserve it. Could add a separateAbout Akin? Not in list. But maybe we can still use About the role and include both. Might be okay.
Alternatively we could add a About the organization but not in list; risk of violating instruction? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests examples, not exclusive list. So we could use other headings as long as they are . Safer to stick to examples but not required. I'll use the given headings.
Thus we need to fit About Akin somewhere. Could put it under About the role as a brief intro: "Akin partners with children, families, and communities..." That is about the organization but still relevant to role. Acceptable.
Now Responsibilities: list of Essential Functions. We'll convert each bullet (sentence) into
