Associate Dean of Students
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to decide which sections to include. The posting includes:
- Intro about Uncommon Schools (mission, locations, etc.) Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Uncommon". The instruction says we can use "About the role". We'll include that as a heading.
- Job Description: The Associate Dean of Students ... responsibilities. That's responsibilities.
- Essential Duties & Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Qualifications: list of qualifications.
- Additional Information: includes compensation philosophy, AI statement, etc. Might be extra but not needed as separate section; could be part of About the role? But we can keep as a short paragraph maybe under "Additional Information" but not a required heading. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Additional Information into About the role or maybe omit if not substantive. However the Additional Information includes "Our people are what make us Uncommon..." and compensation philosophy, AI statement. That's somewhat substantive but could be merged into About the role.
- Compensation: specific pay range. So we need a Pay section.
- Benefits: list of benefits. So Benefits section.
- Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule.
- Skills: not explicitly listed; qualifications cover skills. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we have Qualifications section; we could also have Skills but not needed.
Thus sections: About the role (intro), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications, Pay, Benefits.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside each section, we need to put prose in
and lists in
- .
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The introductory paragraph about Uncommon Schools: "Uncommon Schools is a nonprofit network of high-performing public charter schools dedicated to providing an exceptional K-12 education in economically disadvantaged communities. Operating in Boston, Camden, New York City, Newark, and Rochester, we are committed to closing the college completion gap and preparing every student for college and beyond. Our students consistently exceed national benchmarks, reflecting our dedication to their success. We invest deeply in our educators, offering weekly coaching, feedback, and professional development to ensure excellence in teaching and leadership. Join us to work hard, do good, and make a lasting difference!"
Also maybe the job description paragraph: "The Associate Dean of Students at Uncommon will support the school’s Dean of Students to ensure that all students demonstrate dramatic student achievement gains and internalize the school’s values. This individual will be responsible for specific culture initiatives and discipline systems as assigned by school leadership to help create a positive, structured, consistent, caring, and disciplined school culture."
We could include that in About the role or Responsibilities. Probably better to put that in About the role as it's overview of role. Then Responsibilities will list the essential duties.
Responsibilities: list of duties:
- Working closely with the Dean of Students to establish a positive, structured, achievement-oriented, and creative school culture.
- Supporting teachers in building culturally responsive classrooms where students consistently meet and exceed academic and behavioral expectations
- Communicating with families to build a strong partnership between home and school and to ensure students have the tools and resources they need to be successful.
- Providing administrative support to ensure the Dean’s office has all the tools and resources it needs for student success (e.g., maintaining accurate student records, homework/classwork collection, restocking of office supplies, maintaining a specific Dean system such as uniforms or “close the loop”)
- Supporting daily tasks and duties for school leadership staff in support of school culture
- Leading or supporting with key cultural systems (i.e. detention, student mediations, lunch, and arrival)
We need to keep the exact phrasing.
Qualifications: list:
- Passionate commitment to the mission of Uncommon Schools and investment in our vision for being an anti-racist organization.
- Unwavering belief in high academic and behavioral expectations for all students.
- Exceptional time and task management skills.
- Ability to persevere despite uncertainty and unexpected obstacles.
- Relentless drive to empower students academically and personally.
- Self-motivation, desire to be a great teammate, and a strong sense of personal responsibility.
- Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, and strong interpersonal skills with students, parents, colleagues, and community members.
- Ability and desire to implement feedback from school leaders and colleagues.
- A Bachelor’s degree is required.
Pay: "Compensation for this role is between $19.96/hr to $26.10/hr. Most candidates who meet job description requirements will receive an offer of $19.96/hr - $21.19/hr. Starting pay is determined using various factors including but not limited to relevant professional development, education certifications, and tenure with Uncommon Schools."
Benefits: list:
- Generous paid time off inclusive of sick time, paid holidays, and ~10 weeks of paid breaks (Spring, Winter, and Summer).
- Extensive, best-in-class training and development
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans + pre-tax flexible spending (FSA), dependent care (DCFSA), and health saving accounts (HSA)
- Financial Planning
- 403(b) retirement savings program + employer match
- Paid leave of absence options (parental, medical, disability, etc.)
- Mental health and counseling support + wellness benefits
- A detailed list of all SY 26-27 benefits is located HERE.
We need to keep the bullet points as list items.
We should not include the EEO boilerplate etc.
We also need to omit duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. The posting includes a lot of EEO statement at the end; we should remove that.
Also the "At Uncommon, we believe that a supportive and welcoming environment helps our students, staff, and community thrive..." and the equal opportunity statement; that's boilerplate; remove.
Also the "If you would like to request an accommodation, please email recruitment@uncommonschools.org." That's application instruction; remove.
Also the "Our Approach to AI and Your Application" paragraph; that's maybe not boilerplate but could be considered part of Additional Information; but we might drop it as not essential? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The AI statement is substantive? It's about application process; maybe considered application instruction? It's about how to use AI in application; could be considered application instruction. The instruction says remove application instructions. So we should remove that paragraph.
Also the "Additional Information" heading includes "Our people are what make us Uncommon..." and compensation philosophy etc. That's substantive; we could keep that as part of About the role or maybe a separate section "Additional Information". But we prefer few sections; we could incorporate that into About the role.
Thus About the role will include:
- Intro about Uncommon Schools (mission, locations, etc.)
- Job description overview (Associate Dean of Students will support Dean...)
- Additional Information about people, compensation philosophy, etc.
We need to ensure we don't repeat content.
Let's craft About the role paragraph(s). Could be multiple
tags.
We'll output:
