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 extract substantive content: The district description, vision, student demographics, equity imperative, etc. That could go under "About the role" or maybe "About the district". The job summary includes bullet points: Teach fundamental skills, instruct players in rules, model sports-like behavior, willingness to work in group coaching environment, provide academic advising, track academic progress, work collaboratively with Athletic Director, Administration, Teachers, Parents, ability and willingness to fund-raise, perform all other duties as assigned.
Requirements/Qualifications: list of certifications: CPR/AED Certification, First Aid Card, Coaching Certificate, NFHS Concussion Certificate, NFHS Sudden Cardiac Arrest Certificate, NFHS Heat Illness Certificate and knowledge of adolescent psychology required. Valid TB test, Fingerprint clearance, Keenan course completions, and all other AUSD mandated certificates. All coach clearance certifications and requirements as stated on the AUSD website. Please note: First Aid and CPR/AED must be a hand's on training course, we do not accept on-line courses. High School Coaching experience (any Level) within the last two years, High School Age Club Coaching experience preferred. Letter of Introduction, Letter(s) of Recommendation (Preferred), Resume (Please provide 2-3 references in your resume). Comments and Other Information: The ideal candidate has experience coaching Basketball and working with high school students. This position will support a culture that will support developing student athletes on and off the court and has a coaching philosophy in line with the Inside Out Coaching Initiative.
We need to remove application instructions: "Submit an application on EdJoin.org When you have completed the application, please submit it to www.edjoin.org. Please be sure to attach any appropriate documentation." Also remove duplicated lines and EEO boilerplate (the non-discrimination policy repeated twice). Also remove the district description? That is substantive about the district; we can keep it under "About the role" maybe.
We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (district overview), "Responsibilities" (job duties), "Requirements" (certifications etc.), "Qualifications" maybe overlapping; but we can combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? The instruction says use headings for those categories if content exists. We have both Requirements and Qualifications content; we could make separate sections if they have distinct content. However the posting lumps them together as "Requirements / Qualifications". We could treat that as one section "Requirements". Or we could split into Requirements (certifications, clearances) and Qualifications (experience, letters, resume). But to avoid thin sections, maybe combine into one "Requirements". The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements.
We need to ensure we don't include Pay, Schedule, Benefits because not mentioned.
We need to format lists with
- . For responsibilities list, each bullet is a duty. For requirements list, each bullet is a certification/requirement.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the district description exactly as given? We can paraphrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should keep the text verbatim, not summarizing. However we can restructure into paragraphs but keep the same info. We should not omit any details like percentages, numbers, etc. So we need to include the district description: "The Alameda Unified School District is committed to upholding our community’s core values of equity and excellence for every student by providing inclusive and safe conditions for learning that challenge and support every student to be culturally competent and prepared for college, career, and community participation. Our vision is that each and every child is compassionate, confident, and feels successful, academically prepared, and able to make meaningful, positive impact in their lives, the lives of others, and the world around them.
