Educational Assistant SPED

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Position Purpose (maybe About the role), Essential Functions (Responsibilities), Additional Duties And Responsibilities (more responsibilities), Equipment (maybe not a section), Travel Requirements (maybe Schedule? but not schedule), Physical Requirements (maybe Qualifications? but it's physical demands), Work Environment, Qualifications Profile (Qualifications), Terms of Employment: Salary and work calendar established yearly by school board. FLSA Status: Non-exempt (maybe Pay? but not specific salary). No specific pay amount, schedule, benefits. So we should not create Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections because no specific content. We can include About the role (Position Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Additional Duties), Requirements (maybe Qualifications Profile + Physical Requirements?), Skills (maybe technology use, communication, etc). But we need to follow instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can decide which sections to include based on content. We have Position Purpose -> About the role. Essential Functions and Additional Duties -> Responsibilities. Qualifications Profile -> Qualifications (or Requirements). Could also include Requirements as separate but we have Qualifications. Skills: The posting mentions uses current technology, communicates effectively verbally and in writing, works as team, role model, etc. Could be Skills. Physical Requirements and Work Environment maybe could be under Requirements or separate but we don't have a heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements or maybe under Qualifications? But we have only allowed headings list; we could add a section like Requirements (covers qualifications, physical, etc). But we already have Qualifications. Might be okay to have both Requirements and Qualifications if content distinct. However we should avoid thin sections. Let's think: The posting has Qualifications Profile (education, license). Also Physical Requirements and Work Environment (physical demands). Could combine into Requirements section. But we already have Qualifications heading; maybe we keep Qualifications for education/license, and Requirements for physical/work environment. That seems reasonable. Skills: we can pull out communication, teamwork, technology use, etc. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We must not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule as no specific content. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all details from the posting within those sections. We need to format lists with

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use

  . We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We need to remove boilerplate like EEO etc (none present). Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive information: Let's extract.

  Note: The note about illustrative description is not substantive? It says "Note: The above description is illustrative of tasks and responsibilities. It is not meant to be all inclusive of every task or responsibility." That's a note but still substantive? It's a disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not about the job itself but a note. The instruction says remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This note is not exactly those but could be considered boilerplate. However it's part of the description. I'd keep it maybe as a

  after the list? But it's not a duty. Might be considered filler. I'd omit it to avoid filler. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." The note is not substantive about the job; it's a disclaimer. Might be considered boilerplate. I'd omit. Now Requirements section: Physical Requirements and Work Environment. We need to list physical requirements as list items.

  Requirements

  • Ability to perform the job and access the environment for which you are hired.
  • Sitting, standing, lifting, moving about the room or school, carrying (up to 50 pounds), reaching, squatting, kneeling, prolonged typing, physical ability to type on a keyboard terminal, and moving light furniture.

  Must be able to work within various degrees of noise, temperature, and air quality.

  Interruptions of work are routine. Flexibility and patience are required.

  Must be self-motivated and able to complete job assignment without direct supervision.

  After hour work may be required.

  Travels to school district buildings and professional meetings as required.

  But we also have Equipment: Uses standard office equipment such as personal computers, printer, copy and fax machines, and telephone. That could be under Requirements or maybe Skills? It's equipment usage. Could be under Requirements as well. Let's include as a list item. Add: Uses standard office equipment such as personal computers, printer, copy and fax machines, and telephone. Now Qualifications section:

  Qualifications

  • High School diploma or GED.
  • AA degree, 45 college hours which include the necessary educational courses, or passing the ParaEducator exam.
  • Possess a Level III New Mexico Educational Assistant license and a Substitute license and any other qualifications as the Board deems appropriate.
  Now Skills section: we can pull out communication, teamwork, technology use, etc. Also maybe "Displays a desire to work with students", "Serves as a role model", "Works as a member of a team", "Communicates effectively both verbally and in writing", "Uses current technology for instruction and management needs". Also maybe "Assists licensed personnel with student discipline" etc but those are responsibilities. Skills could be: effective communication (verbal/written), teamwork, technology proficiency, desire to work with students, role modeling, flexibility, patience, self-motivation. But some of those are also in Requirements. Might be overlapping. But we can still list. Better to keep Skills as: effective verbal and written communication, ability to work as part of a team, proficiency with current technology for instruction and management, desire to work with students, role modeling, flexibility and patience, self-motivation. We'll put as list. Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: Travel requirement included. Equipment included. Physical requirements included. Work environment included. Qualifications included. Responsibilities included. About the role included. We omitted the note about illustrative description and the FLSA status? FLSA Status: Non-exempt is substantive? It's about classification. Could be included maybe under Requirements or Qualifications? It's not pay or schedule. Could be a separate section but we don't have a heading for FLSA. Could add under Requirements as a list item: FLSA Status: Non-exempt. Or maybe under Qualifications? I'd add under Requirements. Also Terms of Employment: Salary and work calendar established yearly by school board. That's about pay and schedule but not specific. Since we cannot create Pay/Schedule sections unless
