Associate Director of College Counseling

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real content. We have: - Salary Range: $165,000 - $175,000. Placement in the range is commensurate with experience. Exemption Status: Exempt We need Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state salary range, so we can include Pay section. However note: "Placement in the range is commensurate with experience." That's a phrase we should avoid as filler? The instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". So we cannot include that phrase as content? It says we should not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. If we include Pay section, we must not have filler like "commensurate with experience". We could phrase the Pay section as just the salary range, maybe "Salary range: $165,000 - $175,000." That is substantive. The phrase "Placement in the range is commensurate with experience." is filler; we should omit it. Also Exemption Status: Exempt maybe could be included? Not a standard heading; maybe we could include in Pay or Schedule? Not needed. Probably we can include Pay section with salary range only. Schedule: The posting says "This is a twelve-month, in-person administrative position." Also "Preferred start date: January 4, 2027." That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that content. Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits. About the role: We have description of Dalton School and the role. Could be About the role section. Responsibilities: The successful candidate will ... guide 11th and 12th grade students through all aspects of the college exploration and application process. Also work closely with members of College Counseling Office and high school administration. That's responsibilities. Requirements: At least five years’ experience in selective college admissions and/or college counseling in independent schools. Also maybe other requirements? Could be part of Qualifications. Qualifications: The list under "Qualifications" heading includes many bullet-like sentences. Those are qualifications. Skills: Could extract skills like strong analytical writing, ability to craft letters, ability to engage students, public speaking, team-oriented, etc. But we already have many qualifications; we could combine Qualifications and Skills? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (which includes experience, knowledge, skills), Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for Associate Director of College Counseling. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions. So remove the non-discrimination statement and application instructions. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting except boilerplate. Let's extract substantive content: - Dalton School description: progressive K-12 gender-inclusive school in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, consistently recognized as one of the preeminent independent day schools in the nation. Known for its child-centered approach and an exceptional, inspiring faculty, Dalton enrolls over 1,300 students with approximately 350 faculty and staff. Guided by the Dalton Plan, the foundation of a Dalton education, our faculty meets each student’s evolving needs, interests, and abilities. Dalton challenges each student to develop intellectual independence, creativity, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility toward others both within the School and in the broader community. - Role: full-time Associate Director of College Counseling. - Successful candidate will have at least five years’ experience in selective college admissions and/or college counseling in independent schools. - Will work closely with all members of the College Counseling Office as well as the high school administration to guide 11th and 12th grade students through all aspects of the college exploration and application process. - This is a twelve-month, in-person administrative position. - Preferred start date: January 4, 2027. Qualifications list (under "Qualifications"): - An in-depth knowledge of colleges and universities as well as a contextual grasp of the current college admissions landscape. - An interest in progressive educational pedagogy and a commitment to guiding students with a wide variety of academic and extra-curricular interests and abilities. - Demonstrate a strong commitment to Dalton’s inclusion and belonging mission and values. - A desire to work intensively and collaboratively with each grade of approximately 110-120 families, eagerly welcoming conversations and encouraging interaction among students, parents and the college counseling office. - Strong analytical writing skills and the ability to craft individualized letters of recommendation for each student on the counselor’s caseload, filled with relevant information. - An ability to engage students in a classroom setting and teach a course geared towards the college search and application process. - Active participation in local and national associations relevant to our profession, including NACAC, College Board and ACCIS, as well as interest in attending college tours and networking with colleagues in college counseling and college admissions. - Strong public speaking skills and the desire to participate in events for students, parents and colleagues. - A team-oriented approach to all aspects of the college counseling process and a collaborative spirit of engagement in all professional endeavors. We need to format as

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we can list bullet points. For Qualifications we can list bullet points. For Skills maybe not needed. We need to decide sections: - About the role: prose describing school and role. - Responsibilities: bullet list of duties (work closely with... guide students...). - Qualifications: bullet list of qualifications (knowledge, interest, commitment, desire to work..., strong analytical writing..., ability to engage..., active participation..., strong public speaking..., team-oriented approach...). Also include the experience requirement? That could be a qualification as well. Could be placed under Qualifications. - Pay: salary range. - Schedule: twelve-month, in-person; preferred start date. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". So Pay section just: Salary range: $165,000 - $175,000. We must not include Exemption Status. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

  Check that we didn't repeat job title. Good. Check that we didn't include boilerplate. Removed EEO and application instructions. Check that we preserved all substantive information: Did we miss anything? The description of Dalton School includes "progressive K-12 gender-inclusive school in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, consistently recognized as one of the preeminent independent day schools in the nation. Known for its child-centered approach and an exceptional, inspiring faculty, Dalton enrolls over 1,300 students with approximately 350 faculty and staff. Guided by the Dalton Plan, the foundation of a Dalton education, our faculty meets each student’s evolving needs, interests, and abilities. Dalton challenges each student to develop intellectual independence, creativity, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility toward others both within the School and in the broader community." We included that. We also included "full-time Associate Director of College Counseling." in About the role. We included experience requirement: at least five years’ experience in selective college admissions and/or college counseling in independent schools. Did we include that? Not yet. We need to include that somewhere. Could be under Qualifications as a bullet: "At least five years’ experience in selective college admissions and/or college counseling in independent schools." We also included "Preferred start date: January 4, 2027." in Schedule. We included "twelve-month, in-person administrative position." in Schedule. We included "work closely with all members of the College Counseling Office as well as the high school administration to guide 11th and 12th grade students through all aspects of the college exploration and application process." as responsibility. We also might include "This is a twelve-month, in-person administrative position." Already in schedule. Check if any other substantive: "Preferred start date: January 4, 2027." Already. Now ensure we didn't include any filler like "commensurate with experience". Good. Now produce HTML. Make sure to use proper escaping? Not needed. Let's craft About the role paragraph:

  The Dalton School, a progressive K-12 gender-inclusive school in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, is consistently recognized as one of the preeminent independent day schools in the nation. Known for its child-centered approach and an exceptional, inspiring faculty, Dalton enrolls over 1,300 students with approximately 350 faculty and staff.

Dalton challenges each student to develop intellectual independence, creativity, curiosity, and a sense of responsibility toward others both within the School and in the broader community. We are currently seeking a full-time Associate Director of College Counseling.

  That seems good. Now Responsibilities bullet: maybe just one bullet: "Work closely with all members of the College Counseling Office and the high school administration to guide 11th and 12th grade students through all aspects of the college exploration and application process." We could also include "Collaborate with grade-level teams of approximately 110-120 families." Actually that is under qualifications: desire to work intensively and collaboratively with each grade of approximately 110-120 families. That's more a qualification than responsibility. We'll keep it under Qualifications. Now Qualifications bullets list all items. Let's list: - At least five years’ experience in selective college admissions and/or college counseling in independent schools. - An in-depth knowledge of colleges and universities as well as a contextual grasp of the current college admissions landscape. - An interest in progressive educational pedagogy and a commitment to guiding students with a wide variety of academic and extra-curricular interests and abilities. - Demonstrate a strong commitment to Dalton’s inclusion and belonging mission and values. - A desire to work intensively and collaboratively with each grade of approximately 110-120 families, eagerly welcoming conversations and encouraging interaction among students, parents and the college counseling office. - Strong analytical writing skills and the ability to craft individualized letters of recommendation for each student on the counselor’s caseload, filled with relevant information. - An ability to engage students in a classroom setting and teach a course geared towards the college search and application process. - Active participation in local and national associations relevant to our profession, including NACAC, College Board and ACCIS, as well as interest in attending college tours and networking with colleagues in college counseling and college admissions. - Strong public speaking skills and the desire to participate in events for students, parents and colleagues. - A team-oriented approach to all aspects of the college counseling process and a collaborative spirit of engagement in all professional endeavors. Check if any of these are filler: none. Now Pay:

  Salary range: $165,000 - $175,000
