We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have sections: About Mastery (intro), The Opportunity (role description), Duties and Responsibilities, Education, Experience, and Skills, Physical Requirements, Salary and Bonus Information, Mastery's Benefits Package, Annual Calendar (maybe not needed as schedule?), Why You Should Apply (maybe not needed). We must include only sections with real specific content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we can adapt headings to match content: The instructions say use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should use those exact headings when we have content. However we also have other sections like About Mastery (intro) maybe not needed as heading? The page already shows job title; we should not repeat job title as heading. The intro about Mastery could be considered "About the role"? Actually "About the role" could be the description of the opportunity. The "About Mastery" is organization description; could be part of "About the role"? Might be okay to include as a paragraph under About the role heading. Or we could have separate heading like "About Mastery" but not in allowed list; but instructions say use those headings for section headings (e.g...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect us to use those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings. We have: - About the role: could include description of Mastery and the opportunity (the mission, math teacher role). We'll put a paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of duties and responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe Education, Experience, and Skills combined? Could be Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Education, Experience, and Skills? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications; we need to decide. Could put Education, Experience, and Skills under Requirements, and Qualifications maybe duplicate? Better to follow typical job posting: Requirements (education, experience) and Qualifications (skills). But we have "Education, Experience, and Skills:" as a combined block. Could split: Requirements: Education and Experience; Qualifications: Skills. However we must not invent content. We have a block that includes Bachelor’s degree required, teacher certification, demonstrated expertise, commitment to underserved communities, determination, ability to motivate, positive mindset, solutions-oriented resiliency, outstanding instructional skills. That's a mix of education, experience, skills. We could put all under Requirements (or Qualifications). To avoid duplication, we could use Requirements for education/experience, and Qualifications for skills. But we need to parse the block. Let's extract: Education, Experience, and Skills: - Bachelor’s degree required with a record of personal, professional, and/or academic achievement - Teacher certification - completed or in process - Demonstrated expertise in subject area - Commitment to and experience working with underserved communities - Determination to drive student achievement and set high expectations for all students - The ability to motivate, support, and challenge students in a student-centered, standards-driven classroom community - A positive mindset and a drive for personal excellence - Solutions-oriented resiliency to respond positively and effectively to challenges - Outstanding instructional skills driven by data and delivered through rigorous and engaging strategies We could treat first three as Requirements (education, certification). The rest as Qualifications (skills/attributes). That seems reasonable. - Benefits: Mastery's Benefits Package paragraph. - Pay: Salary and Bonus Information. - Schedule: Annual Calendar maybe? It mentions calendar as benefit; but not specific schedule like hours. Could we create Schedule section? The posting does not give specific schedule (e.g., full-time, school year). It mentions Annual Calendar as a benefit but not schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Annual Calendar as a benefit, but not schedule. However "Schedule" could be interpreted as work schedule; not given. Safer to omit Schedule section. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have specific salary numbers. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, except boilerplate. We need to include the mission description, the opportunity description, duties list, requirements list, qualifications list, physical requirements? Wait physical requirements is also substantive; we need to include it. Where to put? Could be under Requirements or a separate section? Not in allowed headings but we could add a heading like "Physical Requirements" as

maybe allowed? The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings (e.g...). It might be okay to add Physical Requirements as a heading. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could incorporate physical requirements into Requirements or Qualifications? But it's distinct. Might be better to add a section "Physical Requirements". Since it's substantive, we should include it. The instruction didn't forbid other headings; just gave examples. So we can add. Similarly we have "Annual Calendar" maybe as a benefit; but we already have Benefits section; we can include mention of calendar there. We also have "Why You Should Apply" and AI note etc. Those are maybe boilerplate? The AI note is not boilerplate but could be considered part of application instructions? It's about hiring process; maybe we should keep? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Why You Should Apply" and AI note might be considered application instructions? It's encouraging to apply; could be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to omit. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the Mastery intro paragraph, the Opportunity paragraph, duties list, responsibilities list, education/experience/skills list, physical requirements, salary/bonus, benefits.
