Associate Dean-School of Professional and Technical Studies

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must include only sections with real specific content. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting.

School of Professional Programs houses programs: Accounting, Business, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Criminal Justice, Emerging Technology and Advanced Manufacturing (AI, Applied Data Science, Industrial Robotics and Automation, UMS/Drones, Virtual Reality & Game Design), Health Information Management, Information Systems Technology, and Skilled Trades. Associate Dean will serve as liaison for Dean in matters related to student issues and complaints, coordination of school operations including course scheduling, and will support larger strategic priorities of the school and Academic and Student Affairs unit. The Associate Dean will serve as a 12-month administrative faculty member who should have the flexibility to work at various college locations. - Job Responsibilities: list bullet points: - Serve as an academic leader within the school by supporting curriculum changes and assessment of courses/programs housed within the school. - Recruit, hire, onboard, supervise, evaluate, and support adjunct faculty in coordination with the Dean and Program Leads within the School of Professional Programs. - Support the Dean in school operations, including class scheduling and registration, budget planning, textbook selection and ordering, and other operational activities. - Represent the Dean in matters related to student requests/issues, including, but not limited to, course substitutions, override requests, credit for prior learning, transcript evaluations, formal complaints, grade changes, incomplete grades, and academic integrity matters. - Collaborate with program leads, faculty, and the Dean to develop strategic, student-centered class schedules that promote student success, retention, and completion. - Serve as an administrative lead for the school in meetings with internal and external stakeholders. - Support faculty, program leads, and the Dean in assessment activities, including general education assessment, program review, and unit planning and reporting. - Strengthen career and technical education (CTE) programs and pathways through collaboration with K-12 partners, industry stakeholders, curriculum development initiatives, and workforce alignment efforts. - Provide support for Perkins grant planning, budget administration, and expenditures to support Career and Technical Education program priorities - Develop and strengthen external partnerships to support workforce development, program innovation, enrollment growth, and community engagement. - Coordinate with other Associate Deans to manage college wide processes related to adjunct faculty recruitment, onboarding, evaluation, and support. - Schedule and Location: same as earlier: primarily daytime hours; occasional evening and weekend work may be required to support college events such as New Student Welcome Day, Convocation, and other activities.

(note discrepancy: earlier $78,300 – $105,000.00.00; later $78,300 – 100,000). We need to preserve all substantive information; we should include both? The posting contains two ranges; we should include both as they appear. Probably we should include the range mentioned in Compensation And Benefits section: $78,300.00 – 100,000.00 per year. Also mention that position is administrative role and eligible for benefits package offered by Commonwealth of Virginia for state agencies and the Virginia Community College System. Provide links. - Additional info: EEO statement, ADA, etc. We should remove boilerplate EEO/legal etc. But we need to keep substantive info: maybe we can keep a short note about benefits eligibility. The EEO statement is boilerplate; we should remove. The ADA statement also boilerplate; remove. The sponsorship statement maybe not needed. The equal opportunity institution statement is boilerplate; remove. The safe working environment statement maybe boilerplate; remove. The "Know your rights!" maybe boilerplate; remove. Special Assignments: May be required to perform other duties as assigned. May be required to assist the agency or state government generally in the event of an emergency declaration by the Governor. That's substantive? It's generic but maybe keep as part of responsibilities? Could be considered boilerplate but it's about special assignments; we could include under Responsibilities as a bullet? Might be considered generic but it's still part of posting. However instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Special Assignments may be considered boilerplate but it's not exactly legal; it's about duties. I'd keep it as a bullet under Responsibilities. - KSA's/Required Qualifications: list: - Master’s degree - Demonstrated commitment to the community college mission and philosophy, student success and academic excellence. - Administrative experience with demonstrated collaborative leadership and management skills. - College teaching experience - Excellent organizational, problem-solving, and oral and written communication skills. - Experience in planning, coordination and on-going improvement of curriculum and instruction. - Commitment to student success. - Collaborative leadership style. - Demonstrated creativity and flexibility in problem solving. - Demonstrated commitment to academic excellence. - Ability to communicate effectively, both orally and in writing. - Additional Considerations: - Master’s degree in an academic discipline represented within the School of Professional and Technical Studies or in higher education administration. - Earned Doctorate in higher education administration, a related field, or a discipline represented in the Academic School. - Full-time teaching experience at the college level. - Administrative/leadership experience in higher education. - Knowledge of community college curricula, instructional practices, and learning outcomes. - Experience in outcomes assessment. - Experience managing grants and preparing reports. - Experience in developing strategic, student-focused and programmatic class schedules. - Operation of a State Vehicle Yes - Supervises Employees Yes - Required Travel: Travel as per any required duties of the position, such as to sites/campuses and any training.

(application instructions) we must remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should remove the Special Instructions to Applicants section. - Additional Information: Background Check Statement Disclaimer EEO Statement ADA Statement E-Verify Statement Quicklink for Posting ... we should remove boilerplate. Thus we need to craft sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine KSA's/Required Qualifications and Additional Considerations?), Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements), Skills (maybe from communication skills etc), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual Pay info: hiring range $78,300.00 – $105,000.00.00 per year (first) and also $78,300.00 – 100,000.00 per year (second). We need to preserve all substantive information; we could mention both ranges, maybe note discrepancy. But we should not invent. We'll include both as stated. Benefits: mention eligibility for benefits package offered by Commonwealth of Virginia for state agencies and the Virginia Community College System; links to www.dhrm.virginia.gov and www.vccs.edu. Schedule: primarily daytime hours; occasional evening and weekend work may be required to support college events such as New Student Welcome Day, Convocation, and other activities. Based primarily at Middletown Campus but may require travel to Fauquier Campus, Luray-Page County Center, local high schools, businesses, and other community partner locations as needed. We also have Anticipated Start Date: Jan 4, Feb 15. That could be part of Schedule or maybe a separate section? Not among allowed headings; but we could include under Schedule as additional detail. Or maybe under About the role. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should stick to those. We can include start date under Schedule or About the role. Probably Schedule is appropriate. We also have Work Location: Frederick - 069? Actually Work Location Frederick - 069. But later says based primarily at Middletown Campus. There's some conflict. We'll include location info under Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we start with maybe

About the role

then a

summarizing the job description. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all substantive info. Let's draft. About the role: include primary role, reporting line, 12-month administrative faculty, flexibility to work at various locations, school programs list, liaison duties, strategic priorities. Responsibilities: list bullet points from Job Responsibilities plus maybe special assignments bullet. Requirements: maybe combine KSA's/Required Qualifications and Additional Considerations? But we have separate headings Requirements and Qualifications. Could put Required Qualifications under Requirements, and Additional Considerations under Qualifications (or vice versa). We'll decide. Skills: maybe communication skills, organizational, problem-solving, etc. Could extract from qualifications. But we must not create thin sections. Better to have fewer substantive sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (including required and additional), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. We need to use

for each. We must not include headings with no content. Let's craft. About the role

with prose. Responsibilities

• ... each bullet. Qualifications: we could split into Required Qualifications and Additional Consider
