Education$52k–$67k/yrFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections that have real content. Sections: About the role? The posting starts with "Be Transformational! ..." It's more like an intro. Could treat as About the role? Probably we can have a
About the role
with paragraph summarizing that. Then Responsibilities: there is a list of responsibilities under "Job Description" and then bullet-like paragraphs. We need to extract duties/responsibilities as- . Also Requirements/Skills: there is "Required Skills, knowledge, and certifications or licenses" and "Preferred Skills...". Also Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits: "Paid vacation, sick time & paid holidays, including an extended holiday break... State of Texas’ comprehensive health and retirement benefits, competitive wages, State of Texas employee discounts". Also Salary Range: "The Salary Range for the position is $51,906 to $67,478 annually". Also maybe Schedule: mention "Maintains flexibility, including availability for evening, weekend, or summer assignment, as appropriate". That could go under Schedule. Also maybe Qualifications: Education and Experience section.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, Employment Eligibility Verification, Background Checks, etc. Also remove application instructions like emailing talentsourcing@tstc.edu, sending transcripts, etc. Also remove links like "Follow the links below for additional details:" and the list of links.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: benefits list, salary range, responsibilities list, required skills list, preferred skills list, education and experience requirements.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (intro), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Required Skills and Preferred Skills?), Qualifications (Education and Experience), Benefits, Pay (Salary Range), Schedule (flexibility). Could also have Skills section but we already have Required Skills.
We must not duplicate content. Let's extract.
Intro paragraph: "Be Transformational! Do you have a desire to work in an environment where you are helping others and changing lives? As an Instructor at TSTC, you can help improve the quality of many lives by sharing your experience and skills with our students. Launch your career with TSTC by connecting with our Talent Acquisition team by emailing us at talentsourcing@tstc.edu." But we must remove application instructions (emailing). So we should remove that sentence. Also "Launch your career with TSTC by connecting with our Talent Acquisition team by emailing us at talentsourcing@tstc.edu." is application instruction, remove. So remaining intro: "Be Transformational! Do you have a desire to work in an environment where you are helping others and changing lives? As an Instructor at TSTC, you can help improve the quality of many lives by sharing your experience and skills with our students." That's substantive.
Now Responsibilities: Under "Job Description TSTC faculty deliver approved curriculum..." then list of responsibilities in sentences. We need to convert to list items. Let's extract each responsibility sentence:
- "TSTC faculty deliver approved curriculum, content, and assessments in an applied learning environment."
- "Responsibilities include facilitation of activities and discussions that engage a range of learning styles with targeted guidance and mentorship to students."
- "Faculty will also interpret and administer assessments, and offer constructive feedback to support student growth and learning outcomes."
- "A key part of the role is to integrate technology effectively to enrich the educational experiences."
- "Faculty act as ambassadors for their programs and TSTC."
Then later there is a detailed breakdown under headings: INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY, INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT, STUDENT RETENTION AND PLACEMENT, PROGRAM RECRUITMENT & PROMOTION, TEAMWORK & SERVICE, OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED. Each has bullet-like sentences. We should include those as responsibilities as well.
Let's extract each:
INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY:
- "Prepare and deliver high quality instruction and facilitate the learning of students."
- "Develop appropriate course syllabi and instructional plans, and organize daily classes utilizing a variety of creative/innovative techniques."
INSTRUCTIONAL MANAGEMENT:
- "Fulfill assigned schedule, maintain accurate student records, maintain instructional environment with emphasis on safety, equipment security where applicable, and ensure opportunities for student/participant evaluation."
STUDENT RETENTION AND PLACEMENT:
- "Performs student advisement such that students are provided with timely, accurate, and comprehensive information."
- "Collaborate with the Office of Student Success to ensure students receive current information on tutoring and other programs designed to increase retention."
PROGRAM RECRUITMENT & PROMOTION:
- "Participate in related tours and recruitment events."
- "Assist in department/program planning for recruitment."
TEAMWORK & SERVICE:
- "Demonstrates a willingness to be of service and exhibits pleasant and courteous behavior toward customers (students, parents, employers, and media), organizational coworkers, and other general public contacts."
- "Maintains flexibility, including availability for evening, weekend, or summer assignment, as appropriate; able to work effectively in a team environment; commitment to the mission, vision and values of the college."
OTHER DUTIES AS ASSIGNED: (just that phrase, maybe not needed as separate bullet but could be included as "Perform other duties as assigned.") We'll include.
Now Required Skills list: after "Required Skills, knowledge, and certifications or licenses". Let's extract each bullet (they are sentences separated by spaces). We'll list them:
- Ability to understand the teaching and evaluation methodologies used in the total instructional process of online classroom modalities
- Knowledge of curriculum development to align with industry standards in tandem with counseling and educational best practices
- Excellent oral and written communication skills
- Commitment to demonstrating sensitivity to the needs of students from diverse backgrounds
- Actively strives to establish effective working relationships with others and /or clinical sites
- Ability to promote the campus image

- Completes written clinical performance evaluation form in timely manner of students
- Must demonstrate the ability to develop curriculum and instruct online courses
- Must demonstrate ability to provide instruction that will achieve the specific goals and objectives associated with all assigned courses
- Must demonstrate ability to create a professional and effective learning environment in the online and/or clinical setting
- Demonstrate competency with use of technology that supports learning and teaching; Maintains a flexible schedule, including availability for evening, weekend, or summer assignment, as appropriate
Note the last one includes schedule flexibility; we might also capture schedule separately.
Preferred Skills list: after "Preferred Skills, knowledge, and certifications or licenses". Extract:
- Preferred prior teaching experience
- Bachelor's degree or higher in the field or closely related field (Counseling, Social Work, Human Services, Addictions Counseling, or Mental Health) is preferred with licensure as an LCDC.
- Proficiency in using Electronic Health Records.
- Demonstrates how to conduct chemical dependency assessment to clarify related treatment plan and goals

- Demonstrates and will develop all SUD (Substance Use Disorder) programming and treatment modalities;
- Demonstrates and develops with students discharge plans and summaries per HHSC/CARF standards and refers clients to other community resources as clinically indicated
Education and Experience: after that heading.
- Associates Degree (Substance Abuse Counseling or Chemical Dependency Counselor) and current licensure as an LCDC, with a minimum of 3 years non-teaching work experience as a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor
- Must be a graduate of an accredited college or university
Now Benefits: paragraph: "What We Offer You More than just a job but the start of a rewarding and fulfilling careerSupportive environment where employee growth and success are promoted and celebratedPaid vacation, sick time & paid holidays, including an extended holiday breakYou will enjoy the stability of the State of Texas’ comprehensive health and retirement benefits, competitive wages, State of Texas employee discounts, and much, much more."
We need to split into sensible sentences. Let's extract:
- More than just a job but the start of a rewarding and fulfilling career
- Supportive environment where employee growth and success are promoted and celebrated
- Paid vacation, sick time & paid holidays, including an extended holiday break
- You will enjoy the stability of the State of Texas’ comprehensive health and retirement benefits, competitive wages, State of Texas employee discounts, and much, much more.
We could also mention "Follow the links below for additional details:" but that's boilerplate; remove.
Pay: Salary Range: "The Salary Range for the position is $51,906 to $67,478 annually The final salary offer will be determined based on the candidate's qualifications and experience"
We need to keep both sentences.
Schedule: flexibility mentioned: "Maintains flexibility, including availability for evening, weekend, or summer assignment, as appropriate" appears in Teamwork & Service and also in Required Skills. We'll create a Schedule section with that sentence.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings
for each section we include. We should avoid duplicate content. Ensure we don't repeat same info in multiple sections. Let's plan sections: - About the role (intro) - Responsibilities (list) - Required Skills (list) - Preferred Skills (list) maybe combine into Skills? But we can have separate sections: Required Skills and Preferred Skills. However instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required and Preferred into a Skills section with subheadings? But we must use only
for section headings, not subheadings. Could have two sections: Required Skills and Preferred Skills. That's okay. - Qualifications (Education and Experience) - Benefits (list) - Pay (paragraph) - Schedule (paragraph) We must not include sections with filler. All have content. Now ensure we remove any boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity Employer", "Employment Eligibility Verification", "Background Checks", etc. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write.
