Communication Aide, Educational Assistant III, II, I - Kauai District

Part-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Description: This posting is being used to fill various Communication Aide positions at the specified location. The authorized level of these positions is Communication Aide. Applications are being accepted down to the Educational Assistant I in the event of recruiting difficulties. - Salary Range: Communication Aide, SR-16: $3817.56; Educational Assistant III, SR-14: $3526.98; Educational Assistant II, SR-12: $3260.76; Educational Assistant I, SR-10: $3019.78 - Examples of Duties: list of duties. - Minimum Qualifications: Education Requirements, Experience Requirements, Substitutions Allowed, Quality of Experience, Selective Certification, Special Requirement (hear/speak English), License Requirement (valid license to drive in Hawaii). - Supplemental Information: Salary (advertised salary based on full-time employment includes shortage and school year differentials). Requirements: Applicants must meet all requirements... Calculation of experience... Temporary Assignment... Documents... Information about Temporary Positions... Payday: New employees can expect first paycheck within first 3 pay periods; Payday is on the 5th and 20th (or previous business day) of every month. Benefits: 10-month civil service and SSP employees enjoy a range of competitive benefits: Holidays, Personal Leave, and Sick Leave; Health Insurance; Group Life Insurance; Premium Conversion Plan; Flexible Spending Accounts; Retirement Plan. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, cookie/navigation/legal, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Supplemental Information" maybe not needed as heading; we can embed content under appropriate sections. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe description), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience), Qualifications (maybe similar), Skills (maybe not explicit), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Pay info: salary ranges and payday schedule. Schedule? Not explicit about work schedule (maybe full-time). Not given. So we should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. There's no explicit schedule like "full-time, 40-hour workweek". It mentions calculation of experience based on full-time, 40-hour workweeks. That implies full-time schedule. Could we infer schedule? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting does state Payday schedule and salary ranges, so Pay section is okay. Benefits: posting lists benefits, so Benefits section okay. Schedule: does it state schedule? It mentions full-time employment, 40-hour workweeks for experience calculation, but not explicit work schedule for the position. Might be considered implied but not explicitly stated. Safer to omit Schedule section. Now we need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills not present. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use

for section headings. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. We need to drop minor metadata like Job ID/requisition numbers (none seen). Also drop duplicated lines. We need to format content. Let's extract substantive content: About the role: "This posting is being used to fill various Communication Aide positions at the specified location. The authorized level of these positions is Communication Aide. Applications are being accepted down to the Educational Assistant I in the event of recruiting difficulties." That's about the role. Responsibilities: The "Examples of Duties" list. We'll list each duty as

  • . The list includes many items separated by periods. We'll break them into separate bullet points. Duties list: - Delivers independent speech and language remedial activities (such as reinforcement lessons and drills) to students with communication disorders in accordance with plans developed by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and performs other related duties as assigned such as: Actually the phrase "such as:" then list of sub-duties. We can treat the main duty as delivering independent speech and language remedial activities... and then sub-duties. Better to list each distinct duty: - Delivers independent speech and language remedial activities (such as reinforcement lessons and drills) to students with communication disorders in accordance with plans developed by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP). - Provides reinforcement lessons and repetitive drill activities based on educational plans and specific instructions developed by the SLP. - Assists students in improving speech and language skills, including proper mechanics (mouth, jaw, lips, tongue, teeth, diaphragm) and correct pronunciation of vowel and consonant sounds. - Corrects sound and language misunderstandings, reinforces verbal comprehension, and assists with socially appropriate language usage. - Records and scores student progress data, session responses, and significant behavioral observations as directed by guidelines and the SLP. - Makes arrangements for remediation sessions with school personnel and participates in conferences with parents and staff to provide input on student progress. - Adapts and devises individualized materials for SLP review and approval, and assists the SLP in developing intervention strategies. - Provides relevant follow-up activities and materials for home use. - Attends training sessions and workshops. - May provide clerical services for the SLP and diagnostic team on a nonsignificant basis. We'll keep as list. Requirements: Could combine education and experience requirements. The posting has Minimum Qualifications with Education Requirements, Experience Requirements, Substitutions Allowed, Quality of Experience, Selective Certification, Special Requirement, License Requirement. We could have a Requirements section covering education and experience, maybe also special/license. Qualifications: Could be similar but maybe we separate Education Requirements as Qualifications? However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine education and experience into Requirements, and maybe Qualifications not needed. But we need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for Requirements (education/experience). We could also have Qualifications (maybe special requirement and license). But to avoid thin sections, we could combine all into Requirements. But we need to follow the instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It's okay to omit some. Thus we can have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (covering education, experience, substitutions, quality, selective certification, special requirement, license) - Benefits - Pay We'll not include Qualifications or Skills. Now we need to format Requirements content as prose or lists. We have Education Requirements: Graduation from high school or equivalent and one of the following... list three options. We'll list as
    • . Experience Requirements: Table with Class Title, General Experience (years*), Specialized Experience (years*), Technical Experience (years*). Then definitions of one year experience, General Experience description, Specialized Experience description, Technical Experience description. We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the table content. We can represent as a list or maybe as a
        with each line? Better to use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can convert each row into a bullet. But the table includes headers; we could keep as a ? The instruction says use
          • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid tables, but to be safe we can use
            • for each requirement. We'll list: - Communication Aide: General Experience 1 year, Specialized Experience 1 year, Technical Experience 1 year. - Educational Assistant III: General Experience 1 year, Specialized Experience 1 year, Technical Experience 0 years. - Educational Assistant II: General Experience 1 year, Specialized Experience 0 years, Technical Experience 0 years. - Educational Assistant I: General Experience 0 years, Specialized Experience 0 years, Technical Experience 0 years. Then definitions: - One (1) year of experience is defined as a school year, which is approximately 180 instructional days in Hawaii. - General Experience: Paid or volunteer experience which involved direct interaction with people and demonstrated the ability to provide and elicit information, observe, evaluate and take action or report accurately on different situations. Examples include serving on school or community committees, advising youth groups, or participating in parent/teacher/student meetings and activities. - Specialized Experience: Work experience providing direct academic, personal, social, vocational development, or behavioral services to children, students, and/or individuals with disabilities, preferably in an educational setting supporting professional staff. - Technical Experience: Work experience under the direct and close supervision of a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) implementing educational/treatment plans and providing remedial activities to individuals with speech and language disorders and/or problems. Such experience must have provided the applicant with knowledge of common speech and language problems and disorders; basic goals and objectives of speech and language services; basic child development related to speech and language; basic instruction and remedial techniques used in speech and language correction; and the ability to adapt and devise materials and activities to meet individual needs. Then Substitutions Allowed: list each substitution. We need to preserve all detail. That's a lot. We'll list as
              • each. Substitutions Allowed bullet points: - Possession of a Child Development Associate credential, or completion of a related program from an accredited institution recognized by the Department or an approved community organization may substitute for one-half (1/2) year of Specialized Experience. - Successful completion of 15 baccalaureate-level semester credits from an accredited institution recognized by the Department may substitute for one-half (1/2) year of General Experience up to a maximum of one (1) year. - Successful completion of 15 baccalaureate-level semester credits in Education or closely related field from an accredited institution recognized by the Department may substitute for one-half (1/2) year of Specialized Experience up to a maximum of two (2) years. - Possession of an associate degree from an accredited institution recognized by the Department may substitute for one (1) year of General Experience. - Possession of an associate degree in Education or closely related field from an accredited institution recognized by the Department may substitute for all General and Specialized Experience. - Possession of a bachelor degree or higher from an accredited institution recognized by the Department may substitute for all General and Specialized Experience. - For high school graduates from a Department school, each of the following may substitute for one (1) year of Specialized Experience up to a maximum of two (2) years: - Completion of the Level 4 course in either the Teaching As a Profession (TAP) or Learning Support Professionals (LSP) program. - Possession of one (1) credit for relevant work-based learning (internship, fieldwork, etc.) through the TAP or LSP programs. - Possession of a bachelor’s degree in speech pathology and/or audiology from an accredited institution recognized by the Department may substitute for all of the required experience. - Excess Specialized Experience may be substituted for the General Experience.
