Excel Academy Charter Schools · Providence, RI · 1 mo ago
Internship
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills?, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the description.
Sections present:
- About The Role: description about athletics, esports, dates, stipend, hours.
- Specific Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To: list of responsibilities.
- Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: list bullet points.
- Qualifications: bullet list.
- Preferred Qualifications: bullet list.
- Mission Alignment: bullet list.
- Preference will be given to applicants who share points of intersection... (maybe part of Mission Alignment? Could be separate but we can include under Mission Alignment or a separate section like "Preferred Experience"? But we have to follow headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions say use those headings for section headings. But we can also include other headings? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies those are examples; we can use those headings. Probably we should stick to those headings only. But we have content like Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Mission Alignment, Preferred Qualifications. Those may map to Qualifications or Skills? Could treat them as part of Qualifications or Requirements. However we must not invent sections with filler. We could combine them under Qualifications (or Requirements). But we need to preserve all substantive info; we can embed them as lists under Qualifications.
We also have Pay: stipend $3,000 per season plus postseason bonuses. Hours: 4-6 days/week approx 10-16 hours per week. Dates: November 1 - March 15. That's schedule info. So we can have Pay and Schedule sections.
Benefits: not mentioned explicitly. Could be none, so we omit Benefits section.
Skills: maybe we can include under Qualifications or separate Skills section if we have specific skills: knowledge of esports titles, communication, organizational skills, etc. Could create Skills section.
But instructions: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine.
Let's decide sections:
- About the role (h3) containing overview paragraph.
- Responsibilities (h3) with ul list.
- Qualifications (h3) with ul list (including required qualifications, preferred qualifications, commitment to DEI, mission alignment maybe). Could also include Skills but we can embed.
- Pay (h3) with p.
- Schedule (h3) with p containing dates and hours.
We must not include empty sections.
Let's extract content.
About the role paragraph: "Athletics are an integral part of the high school experience. All members of the school community interact with the athletics program whether it be as participant, manager, spectator, coach, or friend. The programming impacts all students. The goal of the athletics program at Excel Academy Charter School is to provide students with the opportunity to experience leadership, overcome adversity, build character, and make a positive impact on their high school experience. In order for students to achieve our mission it is essential that coaches uphold our values and expectations. Student athletes look to coaches as their exemplar and rely on them for their physical and emotional safety, expertise, and mentorship."
Then after that: "Dates: November 1 - March 15 Stipend Head Coach: $3,000 per season, plus postseason bonuses Hours: 4 - 6 days/week for approximately 10-16 hours per week (afterschool time and weekends)". This could go to Pay and Schedule sections.
Responsibilities list: bullet points after "Specific Responsibilities Include, But Are Not Limited To". Let's extract each line:
- Plan, organize, and lead team practices that focus on skill development, strategy, communication, sportsmanship, and preparation for competition in approved esports titles.
- Coach and supervise student competitors during all scheduled matches, tournaments, playoff contests, and school-approved events, including evenings and weekends as required

Preference will be given to applicants who share points of intersection with our students, such as speaking Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, or a language commonly spoken by our students and families at an advanced level, being first generation college graduates, or having grown up low-income.
We could incorporate that preference into Mission Alignment or Qualifications.
We need to avoid boilerplate: EEO statement at end: "Excel Academy Charter Schools do not discriminate..." and "Applications will be reviewed..." etc. Remove those.
Now produce HTML.
We'll have:
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings as long as they are meaningful. But to be safe, we could map DEI and Mission Alignment under Qualifications or Skills. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So combining them into Qualifications is fine.
Thus Qualifications section will contain all: required qualifications, preferred qualifications, DEI commitment, mission alignment, language preference.
We'll need to preserve all info; we can just list them as bullet points.
Pay section:

Now produce HTML.
We'll have:
About the role
... paragraph ...
Responsibilities
- ... each ...
Qualifications
We could split into Required and Preferred but we only have Qualifications heading. Could include subheadings? Not allowed? We could just list all qualifications (required and preferred) as list items. But we might lose distinction. However we can still include both sets as list items; it's okay. But we also have Commitment to DEI and Mission Alignment; those are not qualifications per se but could be included under Qualifications as well. Better to have separate sections: maybe "Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" and "Mission Alignment" but those are not in the allowed headings list. However the instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. So we can use other headings as long as they are meaningful. But to be safe, we could map DEI and Mission Alignment under Qualifications or Skills. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So combining them into Qualifications is fine.

Pay section: Pay
Stipend: $3,000 per season, plus postseason bonuses.
Schedule section:Schedule
Season dates: November 1 – March 15. Expected commitment: 4–6 days per week, approximately 10–16 hours per week (afterschool time and weekends).
We should not include Benefits section. Now ensure we remove any boilerplate: EEO, application instructions, etc. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not repeated. Now produce HTML fragment. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the two paragraphs? Actually there is a paragraph about athletics and then the dates/stipend/hours line. We'll put the athletics description in About the role paragraph. The dates/stipend/hours go to Pay and Schedule. Thus About the role paragraph: "Athletics are an integral part of the high school experience. All members of the school community interact with the athletics program whether it be as participant, manager, spectator, coach, or friend. The programming impacts all students. The goal of the athletics program at Excel Academy Charter School is to provide students with the opportunity to experience leadership, overcome adversity, build character, and make a positive impact on their high school experience. In order for students to achieve our mission it is essential that coaches uphold our values and expectations. Student athletes look to coaches as their exemplar and rely on them for their physical and emotional safety, expertise, and mentorship." Now Responsibilities list as above. Qualifications list: combine all bullet points. Let's list them: - High school diploma or equivalent; college coursework or degree preferred - Previous competitive experience in esports, gaming clubs, organized leagues, or demonstrated knowledge of esports titles, competitive strategy, team development, and league operations - Working knowledge of popular scholastic esports titles such as Rocket League, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, and other approved competitive titles - Ability to work effectively with high school-aged student competitors and support their academic, personal, and competitive growth - Strong communication and organizational skills, with the ability to collaborate with athletic staff, school administrators, parents/guardians, and students - Commitment to fostering a positive, inclusive, and development-focused team culture. - Willingness to work a flexible schedule, including afternoons, evenings, and weekends as required - Prior coaching experience in a public or charter school setting at the youth, club, middle school, or high school level (preferred) - Experience managing students in online
