We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The job summary is given. We need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real specific content. The posting includes job summary (maybe About the role). It includes essential duties and responsibilities (Responsibilities). It includes physical demands (maybe Requirements? Not exactly). It doesn't list qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule explicitly. There's mention of working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section with that detail. Also mention "Complete all required training and professional development sessions sponsored by Texas Southmost College (TSC)." That's maybe part of responsibilities. No explicit qualifications. Could we infer qualifications? Not given. So we should not create sections without content.
Thus sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential duties and responsibilities), Schedule (working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends). Possibly also Physical Demands could be under Requirements? But we don't have a Requirements heading; we could put Physical Demands under Responsibilities? Better to create a section "Physical Demands" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use

Thus sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential duties and responsibilities), Schedule (working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends). Possibly also Physical Demands could be under Requirements? But we don't have a Requirements heading; we could put Physical Demands under Responsibilities? Better to create a section "Physical Demands" but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings only; we shouldn't create other headings. So we must map content to those headings. Physical demands could go under Requirements? Not exactly but maybe we can include under Requirements as it's a job requirement. However the posting does not list explicit qualifications like degree, certification. Physical demands could be considered a requirement. We'll include Requirements section with physical demands.
Thus sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential duties and responsibilities), Requirements (physical demands), Schedule (working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends). No Benefits, Pay, Qualifications, Skills.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many duties separated by semicolons. We could split into list items for each duty. The posting lists many duties in a paragraph separated by semicolons. We should extract each duty as a list item. Similarly for requirements (physical demands) we can list each demand.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting. That's a lot. We need to ensure we don't lose any detail. We'll need to convert the long responsibilities paragraph into list items covering each duty. Let's parse.
Responsibilities paragraph:
"Strive for continual improvement of student success by planning an optimal learning environment; providing high quality instruction and advising; participating in the development of learning outcomes and in the assessment of students as well as of self and applied teaching techniques in order to increase effectiveness; and engaging in ongoing professional development.
Manage learning environments by ensuring that accurate syllabi are developed that incorporate departmental, college and instructor requirements; maintaining attendance records, submitting grades, and providing constructive feedback as well as other relevant information to students throughout the semester; and conducting classes punctually and in accordance with the prescribed meeting schedule.
Deliver effective instruction by assuming primary responsibility for curriculum development in conjunction with the College’s policies and procedures, ensuring both rigor and the quality of instruction; by considering individual differences of students in order to design and support a range of appropriate learning activities; by using the College’s digital learning solution to meet the objectives of courses; and by communicating clearly to students the expectations concerning the use of the College’s digital learning solution and other available technologies.
Enhance the student’s learning experience by integrating concrete, real-life situations into learning experiences to encourage critical thinking, interdisciplinary skills and teamwork; by employing methods that develop student understanding of discipline-specific thinking, practices and procedures, as well as interdisciplinary applications, to create academic literacy; and by working with students and employers in occupational settings as required by or appropriate to the academic discipline.
Collaborate with colleagues across the College in the construction and continuous improvement of measurable learning outcomes to include the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board ( THECB ) core curriculum objectives and additional Texas Southmost College’s objectives.
Assess student learning by designing assessments that measure or demonstrate student growth; by sequencing learning opportunities throughout advising, courses and programs to build student understanding and knowledge; and by aligning assessment with learning opportunities.
Promote continual improvement as part of the cycle of teaching and learning by developing and revising curriculum as needed and using defined student learning outcomes to plan, develop, document and evaluate the effectiveness of teaching activities.
Support TSC’s institutional effectiveness program by understanding the preparation and evaluations of Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs); completing all mandatory performance evaluation measures within specified time limits; sharing best practices with colleagues in formal and informal settings; and striving toward improved educational effectiveness.
Support learning through student engagement by creating a positive classroom atmosphere that encourages active and collaborative learning, student effort, academic challenge, student and faculty interaction, and support for learners.
Maintain a learning-centered environment by being available to students during the designated work period.
Support student learning by making students aware of and referring them to the appropriate student and academic support services available at the College.
Pursue professional development by taking graduate courses or internal classes offered by the College or professional development organizations, as appropriate and by maintaining required professional credentials, licensing, and continuing education hours as disciplinary standards dictate.
Participate collegially in discipline-specific activities developed for adjunct faculty, as appropriate.
Attend the workplace regularly, report to work punctually and follow a work schedule to keep up with the demands of the worksite (which may be on campus or at an off-site location).
Use interpersonal skills and makes sound judgments to decide how duties and responsibilities are completed between coworkers, the supervisory chain, faculty, staff, students, and customers.
Support the values and institutional goals as defined in the College’s Strategic Plan.
Complete duties and responsibilities in compliance with college standards, policies and guidelines.
Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events.
Complete all required training and professional development sessions sponsored by Texas Southmost College ( TSC ).
Perform duties and responsibilities within a high-tech all-digital environment.
Perform other duties as assigned."
We need to include all these as list items under Responsibilities. Also note that some items like "Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events." is schedule info, but it's inside responsibilities paragraph. However we have a separate Schedule section; we could move that line to Schedule. But we must preserve all info; we can either keep it in Responsibilities and also have Schedule section with that line. But that would duplicate. Better to extract schedule line to Schedule section and remove from Responsibilities to avoid duplication. However instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." If we remove it from Responsibilities, we still preserve it in Schedule section. That's fine as long as we keep the info somewhere. We'll not duplicate.
Similarly "Complete all required training and professional development sessions sponsored by Texas Southmost College ( TSC )." could be part of Responsibilities or maybe Requirements? It's a duty. We'll keep in Responsibilities.
Now Requirements: physical demands paragraph.
Physical Demands:
"The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently required to stand. The employee is occasionally required to walk; sit; use hands to finger, handle, or feel objects, tools, or controls; reach with hands and arms; climb or balance; stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl; talk or hear; and taste or smell. The employee must frequently lift and/or move up to 10 pounds and occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds. Specific vision abilities required by this job include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, depth perception, and the ability to adjust focus."
We need to list each demand as list items. Also include the first two sentences as maybe a paragraph before list? The instruction: Use
for prose. So we can have a
for the introductory sentences, then
- for the list.
Now About the role: job summary paragraph.
"Job Summary Dual Credit Adjunct Faculty are professional educators who work on a limited basis and have the primary responsibility of fulfilling the Texas Southmost College’s ( TSC ) mission, vision, values and goals of providing a quality education for all students enrolled at the College. The relationship of the adjunct faculty member to the student is one of leader, teacher, advisor, and facilitator of learning. Dual Credit Adjunct Faculty members are responsible to the College President through a chain of command and accountable to the College’s policies and procedures."
We'll put that in a

.
Now Schedule section: we have "Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events." Also maybe "Attend the workplace regularly, report to work punctually and follow a work schedule to keep up with the demands of the worksite (which may be on campus or at an off-site location)." That's also schedule-related. But that is more about attendance. Could be part of Responsibilities. However we already have many responsibilities; we could keep that line in Responsibilities. But we already removed schedule line; we could keep the attendance line in Responsibilities. Let's keep Schedule section only with the working hours line. That's specific schedule info.
Thus Schedule Schedule
Working hours may include evenings, holidays or weekends depending on deadline requirements and special events.
Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll structure:

Now we need to ensure we included all responsibilities items. Let's list them precisely.
I'll break responsibilities into items:
1. Strive for continual improvement of student success by planning an optimal learning environment; providing high quality instruction and advising; participating in the development of learning outcomes and in the assessment of students as well as of self and applied teaching techniques in order to increase effectiveness; and engaging in ongoing professional development.
We could split further but it's okay as one item.
