We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to extract core content. Let's parse the posting: Intro paragraph about Rocketship mission (maybe "About the role"? Actually that's about organization). Could be "About the role" or "About Rocketship". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can decide appropriate headings. We have: - Position Description: Rocketship Public Schools seeks an experienced Director of Language and Literacy & MLL to strengthen the organization’s literacy strategy, multilingual learner supports, instructional support, and program implementation across regions. This role partners closely with network and school leaders to advance high-quality literacy instruction, written and oral language development, equitable access to grade-level content, and strong outcomes for students. The Director of Language and Literacy & MLL helps shape the planning, implementation, review, and continuous improvement of literacy-related curriculum, instruction, and multilingual learner supports. This leader works in close partnership with the Senior Director of Language and Literacy and other academic leaders to ensure literacy and multilingual learner priorities are aligned to state standards, network goals, and instructional practices that drive student achievement and instructional excellence. The ideal candidate brings strong systems thinking, deep literacy expertise, knowledge of language development, project management, and the ability to influence across teams. This leader builds strong partnerships with school leaders, teachers, and Network Support Team colleagues to ensure schools receive excellent literacy and multilingual learner support in service of Rocketeers and families. The Director of Language and Literacy & MLL reports to the Senior Director of Language and Literacy. That's a description of role; could be "About the role" or "Position Summary". We'll use

About the role

and put that paragraph(s) in

. Then "The Following Are Essential Functions Related To The Role" with bullet-like paragraphs (but not bullet list). It lists several functions: Advance Rocketship’s literacy and multilingual learner strategy by: (list of items). Then "Build Capacity Across Teams By" (list). Then "Design Professional Learning & Coaching By" (list). These are responsibilities. So we can create a

Responsibilities

and then a
  • for each bullet. We need to extract each bullet as list items. Let's list them: From "Advance Rocketship’s literacy and multilingual learner strategy by:": - Setting the vision and direction of multilingual learning pedagogy and implementation - Advising academic and school leaders on effective literacy instruction, multilingual learner supports, and program implementation - Analyzing student achievement, language proficiency, coaching, and observation data to identify priorities and inform action plans - Leading professional learning to strengthen literacy instruction and support multilingual learners across regions - Supporting curriculum adoption and guiding rollout of literacy, language, and integrated English language development supports - Coordinating with network achievement team members to align instructional support and resources, including any customization to curriculum - Monitoring progress toward literacy and multilingual learner goals to inform network and regional support Next "Build Capacity Across Teams By": - Recommending high-quality instructional materials and planning resources - Collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to strengthen literacy and multilingual learner programming - Coaching and developing team members in content knowledge, pedagogy, and implementation toward strong instructional outcomes - Leading regular team meetings to align priorities and monitor progress - Conducting school visits to inform support, planning, and strategy - Contributing to team member feedback, growth, and evaluation processes - Building the capacity of regional achievement team members and school-based leads in language acquisition, literacy, and data-informed instructional practice Next "Design Professional Learning & Coaching By": - Training regional leaders, school leaders, and other instructional staff in strong literacy practices, instructional strategies, and support for multilingual learners - Observing instruction and reviewing curriculum to identify strengths and improvement needs - Providing actionable feedback grounded in observation, student performance, and language development data - Developing tools and resources that support curriculum implementation and integrated language development - Helping facilitate network-wide professional development - Partnering with principals and regional leaders to plan professional learning aligned to school needs and multilingual learner priorities Now "Required Qualifications" section: list bullet-like items: - Bachelor’s degree required - 3+ years of experience coaching, managing, or developing adults toward strong instructional and student outcomes in a high-performing charter, district, or similar - 2–4 additional years of successful teaching experience, preferably in elementary settings, with a record of strong student achievement - Experience leading curriculum development, implementation, instructional projects, and/or school-based academic initiatives (Experience with Amplify CKLA strongly preferred) - Experience designing and delivering professional development to varied audiences - Expertise in literacy curriculum design and development, with a strong understanding of English language development and multilingual learner instruction - Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills, including the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines Then compensation: "$120,000 - $145,000 a year". Also later: "Compensation Commensurate with qualifications and experience, plus excellent health and wellness benefits, 403b retirement plan, flexible spending account (FSA), and generous paid time off." So we have pay range and benefits. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does: "$120,000 - $145,000 a year". Also benefits mentioned. So we can have

    Pay

    with

    $120,000 - $145,000 a year

    . And

    Benefits

    with

    excellent health and wellness benefits, 403b retirement plan, flexible spending account (FSA), and generous paid time off

    . Also maybe mention "Compensation Commensurate with qualifications and experience" but that's vague; we should not include filler like "commensurate with experience". The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should not include a Pay section that just says "Commensurate with qualifications and experience". But we have actual range, so we can include Pay with the range. Benefits we have concrete. Schedule: The posting mentions "This role requires significant travel, which could be up to 25% of the Director’s time." That's about travel, not schedule. No explicit schedule (full-time, part-time). So we should not create Schedule section because no specific schedule stated. Also Physical Demands etc are not requested headings; we could possibly include under Requirements? But not required. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could include Physical Demands under Requirements or maybe a separate section? Not in the list of allowed headings. The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those. We have: - About the role: mission description and role summary. - Responsibilities: essential functions. - Requirements: maybe combine Required Qualifications and maybe also "Physical Demands"? But Physical Demands is not a requirement per se but could be under Requirements. However we might keep Requirements for qualifications (education, experience). The instruction says use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have both Requirements and Qualifications as separate possible headings. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be mandatory items (education, experience). Qualifications could be preferred or additional qualifications. But we can combine. However we must not create thin sections. Let's see if we have enough for both. We have Required Qualifications list (education, experience, etc). That's substantive. Could be under Requirements. Also we have "Ideal candidate brings strong systems thinking, deep literacy expertise, knowledge of language development, project management, and the ability to influence across teams." That's more like Skills. Also "Expertise in literacy curriculum design and development..." etc. That's also qualifications. We could split: Requirements: Bachelor’s degree required, 3+ years experience coaching..., 2–4 additional years teaching experience, Experience leading curriculum development..., Experience designing and delivering professional development..., Expertise in literacy curriculum design..., Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills. Skills: Strong systems thinking, deep literacy expertise, knowledge of language development, project management, ability to influence across teams, ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines (maybe overlapping). But we need to avoid duplication. Better: Use Requirements for the bullet list under "Required Qualifications". Use Skills for the "ideal candidate brings..." and maybe also "Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills" could be skills too. But we already used that in Requirements. Might duplicate. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). But we have both headings allowed; we need to decide to not create thin sections. If we split, each may be thin but still substantive. Let's see content length. Requirements (education/experience) list ~7 items. Skills list maybe 4-5 items. Both are substantive enough. Thus we can have:

    Requirements

    with
    • ... (the Required Qualifications list)

    Skills

    with
    • ... (ideal candidate strengths)
    But we must ensure we don't repeat content. Let's extract the "ideal candidate brings strong systems thinking, deep literacy expertise, knowledge of language development, project management, and the ability to influence across teams." That's a sentence; we can break into bullet items: strong systems thinking, deep literacy expertise, knowledge of language development, project management, ability to influence across teams. Also "Strong organizational, project management, and communication skills, including the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines." That's also skills but we already have project management; we could include organizational and communication skills. We'll include those in Skills. Now Benefits: we have "excellent health and wellness benefits, 403b retirement plan, flexible spending account (FSA), and generous paid time off." Also maybe mention "Compensation Commensurate with qualifications and experience" but we avoid filler. Pay: "$120,000 - $145,000 a year". Now About the role: we need to capture the mission paragraph and position description summary. Let's combine the first few paragraphs up to "The Director of Language and Literacy & MLL reports to the Senior Director of Language and Literacy." That's about role. We'll put that in

    maybe multiple paragraphs. Now Responsibilities: we have the three categories; we can combine all bullet items into one

    • list. We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat any. Now we must remove boilerplate: EEO statements, legal, etc. Also remove "Physical Demands" etc. Also remove "Click here for our Sexual Harassment Policy", "For questions... contact Human Resources". Also remove "Rocketship Public Schools provides equal employment opportunities..." etc. Also remove "The physical demands described here..." etc. Also remove "Compensation Commensurate with qualifications and experience, plus excellent health and wellness benefits, 403b retirement plan, flexible spending account (FSA), and generous paid time off." Actually we used benefits part; but we need to avoid the "Compensation Commensurate with qualifications and experience" phrase. We'll extract
