Elementary Classroom Teacher - Long Term Substitute
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real specific content. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Position Purpose: description of role, responsibilities. - Essential Functions: list of duties. - Additional Duties: other tasks. - Equipment: uses standard office equipment. - Travel Requirements: travels to school district buildings and professional meetings as required. - Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list. - Physical and Mental Demands, Work Hazards: description. - Qualifications Profile: Certification/License, Education, Experience. - FLSA Status: Exempt. - Contact info: All Inquiries Should Be Directed To Tom Lecklider... (contact). This is metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop it. Probably we can include a short
with contact info. - Additional information about district etc. (maybe not needed). - Non-discrimination statement (EEO) - we should remove boilerplate. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. No pay, schedule, benefits mentioned. So we omit those sections. We need sections: About the role (maybe from Position Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Additional Duties?), Requirements (maybe Knowledge, Skills And Abilities + Physical and Mental Demands?), Qualifications (Certification, Education, Experience), Skills (maybe part of Knowledge, Skills And Abilities). But we need to avoid thin sections. Prefer few substantive sections. We could combine: About the role (position purpose), Responsibilities (essential functions + additional duties + equipment + travel), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities + physical demands), Qualifications (certification, education, experience). Possibly Skills could be merged into Requirements. We must use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details.
Let's extract details.

We can put that in a
maybe under a heading like "Contact" but we are only allowed headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Contact is not allowed. So we should fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So contact info is minor metadata; we can include a short
at the end without a heading.
We must not include boilerplate EEO etc. Remove that.
Now decide sections.
We could have:
About the role
Position purpose paragraph.
Responsibilities
- ... essential functions ...
- ... additional duties ...
- Equipment: ...
- Travel: ...
But equipment and travel are not duties exactly but could be included.
Alternatively separate sections: Responsibilities (essential functions + additional duties), Requirements (knowledge, skills, abilities + physical demands), Qualifications (certification, education, experience, FLSA). That seems good.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we list duties. For Requirements we list knowledge, skills, abilities, physical demands. For Qualifications we list certification, education, experience, FLSA.
We must not create Skills section separately if we include skills in Requirements. But we could still have Skills section if we want, but better to avoid thin sections. We'll combine.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications.
Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract each piece.
