Educational Aide - Elementary School / Sp Ed ECSE
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Job Title: Special Education Educational Aide (not used as heading) Wage/Hour Status: Non-exempt (maybe part of Pay? Not given actual pay amount, just status. Should we include Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states Wage/Hour Status: Non-exempt, but no actual pay rate. It's not a specific pay amount. Probably we should not create Pay section because no actual wage. Could include a short paragraph about wage status? But rule: only include section when posting has real, specific content for it. "Non-exempt" is specific but not a wage amount. Might be considered metadata; we could fold into a short
. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph for metadata like Wage/Hour Status, Reports to, Pay Grade, Dept./School, Length of Contract, Revised date. That seems appropriate. Now sections: About the role: Could be derived from Primary Purpose. So we can have

withPrimary Purpose ...
. Responsibilities: Major Duties etc. Could combine Major Duties, Student Management, Other, General Employee Requirements, Supervisory Responsibilities (none), Equipment Used, Working Conditions maybe part of Responsibilities or separate? The instruction: Use- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list duties as list items.
We have many duties: Help teacher prepare instructional materials and classroom displays. Help maintain a neat and orderly classroom. Help with inventory, care, and maintenance of equipment. Help teacher keep administrative records and prepare required reports. Provide orientation and assistance to substitute teachers. Student Management: Assist students with physical disabilities according to their needs, including transferring to and from wheelchairs, lifting, or positioning. Assist students with physical needs and personal care, including feeding, bathroom needs, and personal hygiene. Help manage behavior of students. This includes intervening in crisis situations and restraining disruptive or dangerous student behavior as needed. Assume responsibility for learning and adapting to each student's special medical, physical, communicative, and emotional needs. Work with individual students or small groups to develop motor skills and conduct instructional exercises assigned by teacher. Help supervise students throughout the school day, inside and outside the classroom. This includes lunchroom, bus, and playground duty. Keep teacher informed of special needs or problems of individual students. Other: Maintain confidentiality. Participate in staff development training programs, faculty meetings, and special events as assigned. General Employee Requirements: Support and align work with the mission, vision, and beliefs of the district. Follow and support board policies in areas of related responsibility. Ensure district resources are managed effectively to maximize resources for student learning. Share in the development and implementation of district success plans. Actively participate in ongoing development to improve work quality and district contribution. Model integrity, work ethic, and professionalism as a suitable example for LISD students. Supervisory Responsibilities: None. Equipment Used: Wheelchair lift, ramp, personal computer, copier, and audiovisual equipment. Working Conditions: Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors: Ability to work in variable environmental conditions related to temperature, humidity and other atmosphere conditions. Physical ability to do lifting (10 lbs. or more), talking, bending, kneeling, pulling, reaching, grasping, pushing, stooping, walking, standing, sitting, climbing, occasional running and the ability to move with agility. The ability to assist students with toileting and personal hygiene, feeding, mobility, positioning and seizure activity. The ability to maintain emotional control under stress. Ability to cope with biological exposure to bacteria and communicable diseases. This foregoing statements describe the general purpose and responsibilities assigned to this job and are not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities and duties that may be assigned or skills that may be required.
We need to decide sections: Could have Responsibilities (covering duties, student management, other, general employee requirements, supervisory responsibilities none, equipment used). Could have Requirements (Qualifications, Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience). Could have Skills (maybe combine with Knowledge/Skills). Could have Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present. Schedule? Length of Contract: 10 mos., 12 mos. That's schedule info (contract length). Could be considered Schedule section. The rule: include Schedule section only if posting actually states them. It does state Length of Contract: 10 mos., 12 mos. So we can include a Schedule section with that info.
Also we have Pay Grade: IS 1 & 2. That's pay grade but not actual pay. Might be considered Pay section? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It states Pay Grade, which is related to pay but not actual wage. Might be considered Pay info. However they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Pay Grade, so we could create a Pay section with that info. But also they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to fold Pay Grade into a short paragraph with other metadata. However they said do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Pay Grade could be considered minor metadata. I'd fold it into a short
with other metadata. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe Qualifications/Skills/Experience), Schedule. We need to use
for section headings. Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include all substantive info from the posting, but we can combine similar items. Let's extract: Metadata (to be in a short
maybe at top): Wage/Hour Status: Non-exempt; Reports to: Principal and teacher(s) assigned; Pay Grade: IS 1 & 2; Dept./School: Elementary/Secondary Education; Length of Contract: 10 mos., 12 mos.; Revised: 4/5/19. We can put that in a
at start. Then About the role:
