Educational Assistant III - Part-Time (Special Education)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key info: POSITION: Educational Assistant III - Part-Time (Special Education) HOURS: 5.75 hours per day BUILDING: Jewett Elementary CALENDAR: 184 days per year (August - June) COMPENSATION and BENEFITS: $18.80 - $22.60, depending upon approved accepted experience Longevity pay after completion of 6 years of employment Annual COLA pay increase (as negotiated with Oregon School Employees Association) Annual step pay increase awarded to eligible employees 8 paid holidays annually 10 paid sick leave days per year 2 paid personal leave days per year 5 paid bereavement leave days per year, per occurrence $80.17 per month toward either: Section 125 or 403B (if employee elects to enroll in either a Section 125 or 403B, the district will match an additional $40. per month) $60. per month employer match into a tax sheltered annuity when employee contributes $35. per month Employee Assistance Program (EAP) 6% district-paid contribution towards Oregon Public Employees Retirement System Then description: Educational Assistant III Purpose: ... etc. We need sections: About the role (purpose, reporting, nature of work). Responsibilities (essential job functions). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Qualifications (maybe required qualifications). Skills (maybe knowledge). Benefits (list). Pay (compensation range). Schedule (hours, days per year, calendar). Also maybe Working Conditions? Not required heading but could be included under About the role? The instructions: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections have content. We have content for About the role: purpose, reporting, nature of work, supervision, interface, special responsibilities. That's substantive. Responsibilities: essential job functions list. Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" block. Could be split into Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. We have "Required Qualifications" list: high school diploma or equivalent, associate degree or two years post-high school or passing district assessment, general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics, student restraint training within 30 days, willingness to participate in training and receive additional certification, pass criminal background check, ability to read/write/follow multi-step instructions. We could treat that as Qualifications. Requirements maybe could be something else like "Must possess a high school diploma or equivalent." but that's also qualification. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to avoid empty sections. We could put Requirements as maybe "Must be able to read, write, understand, and follow multi-step written and verbal instructions in English." but that's also in qualifications. Better to assign: - About the role: purpose, reporting, nature of work, supervision, interface, special responsibilities. - Responsibilities: essential job functions (the long list). - Qualifications: required qualifications list. - Skills: maybe "general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics" plus ability to follow instructions, etc. Could also include "ability to operate standard classroom equipment, eyesight, dexterity". But those are in Working Conditions. Might be better to put Skills as "general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics; ability to read, write, understand, and follow multi-step written and verbal instructions in English; ability to operate standard classroom equipment; sufficient eyesight; dexterity in fingers and hands." However we need to ensure we don't invent. The posting includes: "Must possess a general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics." and "Must be able to read, write, understand, and follow multi-step written and verbal instructions in English." Also later under Working Conditions: "The incumbent is required to possess dexterity in fingers and hands in order to operate standard classroom equipment and have eyesight sufficient to read materials and monitor student activity." That's a skill/requirement. So we can include those under Skills. - Benefits: list all benefits. - Pay: compensation range and longevity, COLA, step increase. - Schedule: hours per day, days per year, calendar (August-June), work year approx 181 days (but posting says 184 days per year calendar, and later Work Year: Approximately 181 days). We need to preserve all substantive info; we can include both. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove that. We must not include duplicated lines. We must not include application instructions. We must not include cookie/navigation/legal etc. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

About the role

...

Maybe we need

• for lists. For About the role we could have paragraphs. Responsibilities:
  • each essential job function. Qualifications:
    • each required qualification. Skills:
      • each skill. Benefits:
        • each benefit. Pay:
          • each pay component. Schedule:

We'll combine into a paragraph or multiple paragraphs. Could use

              for each bullet? But we can just put in

              with sentences. Responsibilities list: essential job functions (the long list). Let's extract each bullet: - Assists in implementing classroom learning exercises planned by the Teacher. - Works directly with special needs students to provide transition programs, adaptive strategies, life-skills practice and remedial work. - Assists in providing for the nutritional, health and communications needs of special needs students. - Assists in the physical management of special needs students, including lifting, moving, positioning and restraining. - Assists special needs students with essential bodily functions, including feeding, toileting, diapering and catheterizing, as well as the implementation of any necessary medical protocols. - Escorts and supervises special needs students in various non-classroom settings, including lunch, music, physical education, library and recess. - Oversees group activity in the classroom, including supervision of the whole class for short periods of time. - Assists small groups or individuals with skill reinforcement or lesson assignments. - Presents teacher-designed subject matter to students through a variety of methods, including lecture, discussion and supervised individual and group skill development and reinforcement. - Coordinates daily activities and instruction as directed. - Assists in proctoring student assessments and maintenance of student records, including attendance, progress and grades. - Assists Teacher in measuring student-produced work products against clear rubrics or answer keys. - Supervises various student gathering points, including playgrounds, cafeteria, bus stops and hallways. - Assists in classroom set-up and maintenance of materials and supplies. - Corrects student work. - Distributes instructional materials. - Confers with teaching staff or parents about student progress and provides observational feedback on student behavior. - Assists in ordering, preparing and administering instructional materials. - Assists in preparing for IEP meetings and in the implementation and tracking of IEP data. - Assists in behavioral management, including modeling appropriate behavior and responding to discipline problems. - Accompanies students on school bus routes, providing general supervision of all students and specialized support for specific students. - Assists with other classroom duties as directed by the teacher. - Performs various clerical duties, including word processing, phone coverage, preparing instructional materials, maintaining files and records and interfacing with the public. - Reports safety, sanitary and fire hazards immediately to a supervisor. - Complies with standards and responsibilities outlined in the District employee handbook and all other District policies and procedures. - The statements contained above reflect general details as necessary to describe the principal functions of this job but should not be considered an all-inclusive listing of work requirements. Individuals may at times perform other duties as assigned which could include work in other functional areas to cover absences or relief, to equalize peak work periods, or to otherwise balance the workload. We need to keep all that. The last two sentences are more generic; we can keep them as part of responsibilities paragraph. Qualifications list (Required Qualifications): - Must possess a high school diploma or equivalent. (This provision may be waived by the school district.) - Must have one of the following: - an Associate degree from an accredited institution. - evidence of completion of two years of post-high school study. - a passing score on the District's assessment of reading, writing and math skills. - Must possess a general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics. - Must complete student restraint training within 30 days of hire. - Must be willing and able to participate in training and receive additional certification (e.g. CPI, First Aid, epipen, etc.) - Must pass a criminal background check. - Must be able to read, write, understand, and follow multi-step written and verbal instructions in English. We need to preserve the note about waiver. Keep as part of first bullet. Skills list: from posting: - Must possess a general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics. (already in qualifications but could also be skill) - Must be able to read, write, understand, and follow multi-step written and verbal instructions in English. - The incumbent is required to possess dexterity in fingers and hands in order to operate standard classroom equipment and have eyesight sufficient to read materials and monitor student activity. - Ability to stand, walk, and sit for long periods of time, as well as to observe multiple students across large and small physical spaces. - Ability to attend to individual student needs while ensuring other students are not unattended, and must be capable of walking quickly and assuming various physical postures, including pushing, pulling, lifting, bending, kneeling and reaching. - Ability to work with students with unique physical needs, some of whom will require significant physical assistance, while others may demonstrate hostile and violent behaviors. - Ability to work outdoors supervising students in a variety of weather conditions. - Potential exposures include, but are not limited to: inclement weather; allergens; blood-borne pathogens; dirt; odors; dust; cold or hot temperatures; and erratic student behavior. But many of those are working conditions. However we can still treat them as skills/abilities. The instruction: we should not invent. We can include them under Skills if they are explicitly stated as abilities. The posting includes those under "Working Conditions And Physical Demands". It's not explicitly a skills section but we can still capture as Skills because they are abilities required. However we need to avoid creating a Skills section with filler if we don't have explicit skill statements. We have explicit statements: "Must possess a general knowledge of English language arts and mathematics." "Must be able
