Assistant Teacher (Temporary)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, EEO, etc. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
- Intro: "Temporary Full-time position JOIN OUR TEAM! St. Anne’s Early Learning (St. Anne’s Children & Family Center) St. Anne’s is a high-quality childcare center providing early learning experiences for children of all faiths. We are a program of Catholic Charities; however, our curriculum is not faith based and applicants do not need to be practicing Catholics to apply. We provide childcare and educational instruction for children ranging in age from 1 month through 6 years. We are an exemplary early learning center with highly educated and experienced staff who demonstrate professionalism and a passion for children. We are committed to meeting and exceeding all quality and educational standards for our center and for each child we serve. Click the link below for a virtual tour of our amazing facilities, to learn more about our program, and to apply for open positions: https://www.cceasternwa.org/stannes Our operating hours are M-F 7:00am-5:30pm. NO WEEKENDS, NIGHTS, or HOLIDAYS!! Mission of Catholic Charities Feed the hungry, heal the hurting, welcome the stranger. CCEW is an equal opportunity employer. ..."
We need to remove EEO boilerplate, mission statement maybe not needed? The mission of Catholic Charities maybe considered boilerplate? It's not specific to job? Might be considered boilerplate. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove mission statement and EEO statement. Also remove the link to virtual tour? That's application instruction? It's a link to learn more and apply. That's application instructions, so remove. Also remove "Click the link below..." etc.
We keep substantive info: description of center, operating hours maybe schedule? It says operating hours M-F 7:00am-5:30pm. NO WEEKENDS, NIGHTS, or HOLIDAYS!! That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Job Summary: The Assistant Teacher will work closely with the Lead Teacher...
Job Duties/Responsibilities: list.
Job Qualifications: includes Education/Experience, Experience, Certificates/Licenses, Skills & Abilities, Physical Abilities, Mental & Other Skills/Abilities.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (skills & abilities), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to see if posting includes Benefits, Pay. It does not mention benefits or pay. So we should NOT include Benefits or Pay sections.
Schedule: we have operating hours, so include Schedule.
We need to decide which headings to use: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe education/experience?), Skills (skills & abilities). Could combine some.
But instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they ask to use headings for those specific names if we include them. We could include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. That's five sections.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now we need to extract substantive content for each.
About the role: Use Job Summary paragraph.
Responsibilities: list of duties from Job Duties/Responsibilities.
Qualifications: Could include Education/Experience, Experience, Certificates/Licenses, Physical Abilities, Mental & Other Skills/Abilities? But Skills & Abilities separate.
Maybe Qualifications includes Education/Experience, Experience, Certificates/Licenses, Physical Abilities, Mental & Other Skills/Abilities? But that's a lot.
Skills: Skills & Abilities (communication, collaborative, patient, etc.)
We need to avoid duplication.

That's a lot. We need to decide what to keep.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all that info, but we can structure it under headings.
We have many sub-sections: Education/Experience, Experience, Certificates/Licenses, Skills & Abilities, Physical Abilities, Mental & Other Skills/Abilities, Workplace Environmental Conditions.
We could map:
- About the role: Job Summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications: Education/Experience, Experience, Certificates/Licenses.
- Skills: Skills & Abilities (communication, collaborative, patient, etc.) plus Mental & Other Skills/Abilities? But that overlaps.
Maybe better: Skills section includes Skills & Abilities and Mental & Other Skills/Abilities (since they are skills/abilities). Physical Abilities could be its own section? But we don't have a heading for Physical Abilities; we could put under Qualifications or Skills? The instruction only allows those specific headings. We could put Physical Abilities under Qualifications (as part of qualifications). Or we could create a Skills section that includes both Skills & Abilities and Physical Abilities and Mental & Other Skills/Abilities. But that may be too thick.
Alternatively, we could create multiple sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. And within Qualifications we include Education/Experience, Experience, Certificates/Licenses, Physical Abilities, Mental & Other Skills/Abilities, Workplace Environmental Conditions. Within Skills we include Skills & Abilities (communication etc.). That seems plausible.
But we must not create sections with filler. All content must be present.
Let's extract each piece.
Job Summary:
"The Assistant Teacher will work closely with the Lead Teacher to support the daily activities, learning experiences, and well-being of the children in our care. This role requires an individual who is passionate about early childhood education and is committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for young learners."
We can put that as a paragraph under About the role.
Responsibilities: list bullet points from Job Duties/Responsibilities.
Let's list them
