Child Development Specialist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections when posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate: navigation, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions (like "click Apply", etc). Also remove compensation details? Actually compensation is substantive: pay grade and salary range. So we need a Pay section. Benefits: mention benefits package. Schedule: Calendar Year. Also maybe "Full Consideration Date" is metadata; we can put in a short

. Also "Position Details" includes Job Category, Type of Position, Service Schedule. Could be part of a section like "Position Details" but we only have allowed headings list; we could put under "About the role" or maybe "Qualifications". But we need to follow instruction: use headings for those specific section names only if content exists. So we can create sections: About the role (maybe from job description paragraph), Responsibilities (maybe from primary function), Requirements (maybe qualifications), Skills (maybe from curriculum description?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Pay section: we have pay grade and salary range; we should include that. Benefits: mention excellent benefits package for eligible non-temporary positions. Schedule: Calendar Year. Also maybe "Service Schedule: Calendar Year". So we can put Schedule heading with that. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Let's extract substantive content: - Job Description: UNI's Child Development Center (CDC) is adding to its team! Based on qualifications, the successful candidate will be hired at one of two professional levels: Assistant Child Development Specialist or Child Development Specialist. This position will rotate classrooms as needed and support early care and education activities. Skills are taught and learned through small- and large-group time using play-based learning strategies.

Child Development Specialist responsibilities (additional): - Plans and implements a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on meeting the needs of the individual child, and of small and large groups of children of varying ages and interests; - ensures curriculum meets the needs of all learners and various subgroups of students, such as students with dual languages and students with disabilities; - writes developmental summaries of children based on assessment information; - engages with parents daily, initiating written and/or face-to-face communication; - conducts parent-teacher conferences each semester and is available to meet with families as needed; - responsible for supervision and documentation of field experience student activities in the Child Development Center; - consults with faculty in regard to college students’ performance; - responsible for training and supervision of college student assistants. We could combine overlapping responsibilities.

Compensation/Pay: - The pay grade and salary will be determined by the position level into which the individual is hired. - Below are the pay grades and starting salary range for each level: - Assistant Child Development Specialist; pay grade 116; $33,800 to Commensurate - Child Development Specialist; pay grade 117; $40,000 to Commensurate - Iowa's cost of living is among the lowest in the nation and the Common Sense Institute ranks Iowa #1 for paycheck stretch. - UNI enhances this advantage with an excellent benefits package for eligible non-temporary positions. - Visit our Compensation Tools page to explore your estimated total compensation, compare Waterloo-Cedar Falls cost of living to other major cities or review the paycheck stretch ranking details. - Learn more about the Cedar Valley at https://livethevalley.com/. We must not include filler like "Commensurate" maybe it's placeholder? Actually they wrote "$33,800 to Commensurate". That seems like placeholder; but it's in the posting. The instruction says: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here it's "$33,800 to Commensurate". That seems like placeholder; but it's part of the posting. Should we include it? It's not exactly "commensurate with experience" but "Commensurate". Might be considered placeholder. Safer to include the pay grade and salary range as given, but maybe we should omit the "to Commensurate" part? The instruction says do not emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. It doesn't say we must omit the placeholder text within a section; just that we shouldn't create a section if the only content is filler. So we can include the Pay section with the given text, even if includes "Commensurate". Probably okay. Benefits: mention excellent benefits package. Schedule: Calendar Year. Now construct HTML: We'll have maybe sections:

About the role

UNI's Child Development Center (CDC) is adding to its team! Based on qualifications, the successful candidate will be hired at one of two professional levels: Assistant Child Development Specialist or Child Development Specialist. This position will rotate classrooms as needed and support early care and education activities. Skills are taught and learned through small- and large-group time using play-based learning strategies. The curriculum matches the developmental level of the children in each classroom and includes group experiences, short-term projects, fine- and gross-motor activities, and both child- and teacher-directed experiences.

Responsibilities

• Plans and implements a developmentally appropriate curriculum focused on meeting the needs of the individual child, and of small and large groups of children of varying ages and interests.
• Ensures curriculum meets the needs of all learners and various subgroups of students, such as students with dual languages and students with disabilities.
• Engages with parents daily, initiating written and/or face-to-face communication.
• Conducts parent-teacher conferences each semester and is available to meet with families as needed.
• Responsible for training and supervision of college student assistants.
• Writes developmental summaries of children based on assessment information (Child Development Specialist level).
• Responsible for supervision and documentation of field experience student activities in the Child Development Center (Child Development Specialist level).
• Consults with faculty regarding college students’ performance (Child Development Specialist level).

But we need to avoid duplication; maybe combine. Better: list responsibilities that apply to both levels, plus note additional for Specialist. We could just list all responsibilities as bullet points, noting where applicable.

Requirements

Maybe we put Qualifications under Requirements? But we have separate Qualifications heading allowed. Use Qualifications for required/minimum and preferred. We'll have:

Qualifications

Assistant Child Development Specialist

• Required: Bachelor's degree plus current CPR, First Aid, Mandatory Reporter, Universal Precautions (OSHA), and Essential Child Care Training certifications or ability to acquire certification within 90 days of hire.
• Occasional work outside of normal hours will be necessary.
• Preferred: Childcare experience. Student experience will be considered.

Child Development Specialist

• Required: Bachelor's degree in early childhood, elementary education or related field; teaching license or 36 hours of higher education credits completed in early childhood education, child development, elementary education, or early childhood special education, or progress toward 36 credit hour started upon hire and completed within four years of hire; and current CPR/First Aid, Mandatory Reporter, Universal Precautions (OSHA), and Essentials Child Care Training certifications or ability to obtain certifications within 90 days of hire.
• Occasional work outside of normal hours will be necessary.
• Preferred: Master’s degree in early childhood education or related field and childcare experience. Student experience will be considered.

But we are only allowed to use

for section headings, not

. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings. Could we use

for each major section and then use

or

inside. Using

might be okay but maybe better to avoid extra headings; we can just use

for subheadings. But we need to keep structure clear. We could use

for Qualifications and then inside have

Assistant Child Development Specialist

then

. That's acceptable. Similarly for Responsibilities we could have

Responsibilities

then
. We also need Skills section maybe from curriculum description: "Skills are taught and learned through small- and large-group time using play-based learning strategies." Could be a Skills section. But we already have About the role covering that. Might be redundant. We could create Skills section with bullet list of skills taught: play-based learning strategies, group experiences, short-term projects, fine- and gross-motor activities, child- and teacher-directed experiences. However that is already in About the role. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine About the role and Skills into About the role. So we skip Skills. We need Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Benefits: mention excellent benefits package for eligible non-temporary positions. Pay: include pay grades and salary range. Schedule: Calendar Year. Also include Full Consideration Date maybe as a

before sections. We must not include application instructions, EEO, etc. Let's craft final HTML. We'll output:

Full Consideration Date: 09/30/2026
