Educational Assistant III - Part-Time (Special Education Behavior Support)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: 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. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Key info: POSITION: Educational Assistant III - Part-Time (Special Education - Behavior Support) HOURS: 5.75 hours per day BUILDING: District 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 "Educational Assistant III Purpose:" description. Then "Reports to: Principal or Assistant Principal" "Indirectly Reports to: Classroom Teacher or Building Secretary" "Nature of Work: ..." "Supervision Received: Continuous supervision while in the classroom and general supervision when outside the classroom." "Supervision Exercised: No direct supervision exercised." "Interface: Primarily interfaces with students and other school personnel. At times interfaces with parents/families of students." "Special Responsibilities: As the primary support person for special needs students, the Educational Assistant III provides assistance to students with a range of critical functions, including toileting, feeding and implementing any necessary medical protocols." Then "Required Qualifications" list. Then "Essential Job Functions" list (many bullet-like sentences). Then "Working Conditions And Physical Demands" paragraph. Then "Work Year: Approximately 181 days" "Bargaining Unit: OSEA" "FLSA Status: Non-Exempt" "Date Approved Date Revised: February 5, 2017" "Range: 12" Then EEO statement (to remove). We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could include purpose, reports to, nature of work, supervision, interface, special responsibilities? Might be considered "About the role". Could combine purpose and description. - Responsibilities: essential job functions list. - Requirements: maybe required qualifications? But we also have Qualifications section. The instructions: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have Required Qualifications (list). That's Qualifications. We have "Must possess a high school diploma or equivalent..." etc. That's qualifications. We have "Required Qualifications" heading in source; we can map to

Qualifications

. We have "Essential Job Functions" which are duties/responsibilities. So

Responsibilities

with list. We have "Working Conditions And Physical Demands" maybe could be part of Responsibilities? But maybe we could put under "About the role"? However we have a section "Skills"? Not explicitly listed but we could infer skills from qualifications? Might not need. We have Pay and Benefits: compensation details. So we need Pay and Benefits sections. We have Schedule: hours per day, calendar days per year, work year approx 181 days (maybe schedule). So we can put Schedule. We have About the role: purpose, reports to, nature of work, supervision, interface, special responsibilities? Could be. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". Ensure we have real content. Thus sections: - About the role: include purpose paragraph, reports to, indirect reports, nature of work, supervision received/exercised, interface, special responsibilities. - Responsibilities: essential job functions list (the long list). Could be bullet list. - Qualifications: required qualifications list. - Benefits: list of benefits (paid holidays, sick leave, personal leave, bereavement, Section 125/403B match, tax sheltered annuity match, EAP, 6% district-paid contribution to PERS). Also maybe longevity pay, COLA, step increase? Those are pay-related, not benefits. But they could go under Pay. - Pay: compensation range $18.80 - $22.60, longevity pay after 6 years, annual COLA, annual step increase. - Schedule: hours per day (5.75), calendar days per year (184 days Aug-June), work year approx 181 days (maybe note). Could also include building? Not needed. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers. We must remove boilerplate like EEO statement. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

About the role

...

maybe include

• for lists within About the role? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. So for About the role, if we have multiple items (reports to, nature of work, etc.) we could either keep as prose or list. Since they are not a list of duties/requirements/benefits, we can use

    with sentences. But we have special responsibilities paragraph; could be part of About the role. Better to keep About the role as prose covering purpose, reports to, nature of work, supervision, interface, special responsibilities. Responsibilities: use

    • for each essential job function. Qualifications: use
      • for each required qualification. Benefits: use
        • for each benefit item. Pay: use
          • for each pay component. Schedule: use

            for prose (hours per day, calendar days, work year). We must ensure we don't create sections with only placeholder text. Now let's extract details precisely. About the role content: From posting: "Educational Assistant III Purpose: The Educational Assistant III assists in the delivery of instructional programs by helping the Teacher in implementing classroom activities, assessing student progress, and reinforcing instruction by leading small groups and individuals in supplementary exercises. The Education Assistant III also provides intensive support to special needs students, including hands-on guidance in developing essential life skills, and specialized support for students who are unable to assist themselves." Note typo: Education Assistant III (should be Educational). We'll keep as is. "Reports to: Principal or Assistant Principal" "Indirectly Reports to: Classroom Teacher or Building Secretary" "Nature of Work: The Educational Assistant III performs work of a variable nature in accordance with procedures and guidelines and under the specific direction of a Teacher. The nature of the work follows established classroom procedures, school procedures and District, state, and federal regulations." "Supervision Received: Continuous supervision while in the classroom and general supervision when outside the classroom." "Supervision Exercised: No direct supervision exercised." "Interface: Primarily interfaces with students and other school personnel. At times interfaces with parents/families of students." "Special Responsibilities: As the primary support person for special needs students, the Educational Assistant III provides assistance to students with a range of critical functions, including toileting, feeding and implementing any necessary medical protocols." We'll combine into prose. Now Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list (the long list). Let's extract each sentence that starts with a verb. List: - 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 substantive info; the last two sentences are more generic but still part of responsibilities. We'll include them as list items. Now Qualifications: Required Qualifications list: - 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 nested list? We can flatten: each bullet as

          • . For the "Must have one of the following:" we could make a
          • that contains a sublist? But instruction: Use
            • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple: each requirement as separate
            • . For the "one of the following" we could make separate
            • items each preceded by "or".
