KIPP Massachusetts · Boston, MA · 1 mo ago
On-siteEducationFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually the job description includes "Job Description Teaching Fellows". We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We need to extract content from posting.
Let's parse:
Mission etc is not part of job description but could be "About the role"? The posting includes mission, what we do, who we are, etc. That could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". But we must use headings exactly: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
- About the role: Could include mission, what we do, who we are, program description. That seems appropriate.
- Responsibilities: The "Key Responsibilities" section includes Classroom Responsibilities and School And Professional Responsibilities. So we can put that under Responsibilities.
- Requirements: There's "General Requirements And Responsibilities" (though that includes responsibilities again). Also there are "Qualifications" later. The "General Requirements And Responsibilities" includes many bullet-like sentences (though not bullet list). We can treat that as Requirements.
- Qualifications: There's a "Qualifications" section with bullet-like list: Deep alignment..., Passion..., Desire..., Prior experience..., Strong organizational..., Computer literacy..., Bachelor’s Degree required, Pass Criminal Background... (cut off). So we can put that under Qualifications.
- Skills: Could be derived from qualifications? But we have no separate skills section. Could we create Skills from qualifications? The instruction: only include a section when posting has real, specific content for it. If there is no explicit Skills section, we should not create one. However we could treat some of the qualifications as skills, but better to not create a Skills section unless there is explicit content. The posting does not have a separate "Skills" heading. So we omit Skills.
- Benefits: The posting mentions "KIPP MA Teaching Fellows are also eligible for a partial tuition scholarship to the BU Graduate School of Education if they are interested in pursuing a Master’s degree and MA Teacher’s License." That's a benefit. Also maybe other benefits not mentioned. So we have benefit content: partial tuition scholarship. So we can include Benefits section with that.
- Pay: No mention of salary/pay. So omit Pay.
- Schedule: No mention of schedule (full-time, etc). Not explicit. Omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits.
We need to use for each section heading. Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to format content appropriately.
Let's extract About the role content: The mission, what we do, who we are, program description. We'll combine into prose paragraphs.
We must not repeat the job title as heading. The job title is "Teaching Fellows". Already not used as heading.
We need to ensure we don't include Job ID etc. None present.
Now, for Responsibilities: We have Classroom Responsibilities and School And Professional Responsibilities. Each contains multiple sentences, some are bullet-like but not formatted as list. We can convert each sentence into
- items under a
. However we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep them as list items.
We need to decide grouping: maybe two sublists? But we can just make one list of responsibilities.
Let's extract each responsibility sentence:
From "Key Responsibilities":
Classroom Responsibilities:
- Ensure that all children feel affirmed, valued, and challenged every day
- Foster a positive and safe learning environment
- Create and internalize rigorous and engaging unit and daily lesson plans, leveraging provided curricula/resources and intellectual preparation tools, in preparation for both co-teaching and solo teaching
- Set specific, ambitious growth goals for all students and identify and leverage all necessary resources to ensure they meet them
- Use best practices, including differentiation, to execute engaging instruction at a level rigorous for all students, during both co-teaching and solo teaching
- Infuse core values into daily lessons and every school practice, implementing school-wide student culture systems and positive classroom management strategies. During co-teaching, this looks like circling the room to actively monitor student work and behavior, and intervening with and/or redirecting students during instruction when applicable.
- Regularly analyze student work and academic data to modify lessons, refine curricula, and inform instructional practice, both independently and in consultation with the Lead Teacher
- Maintain accurate student grades/records and strong lines of communication with students and families regularly regarding students’ growth and progress
School And Professional Responsibilities:
- Participate in school-wide and individual professional development, including pre-service training over the summer and weekly during the academic year
- Take ownership for the development of your craft and seek feedback from your coach (meet 1x/1-2 weeks with coach, implement feedback, engage in co-planning and active practices, participate in live coaching, etc.)
- Perform necessary support duties including (but not limited to) coverage, bus, lunch, transition, and dismissal duties
- Develop strong relationships with families through participating in school events and consistent phone calls home
- Be willing to offer support and receive constructive feedback from colleagues in order to create a professional working atmosphere that is conducive to accountability, change, and improvement
- Collaborate with grade level and content teams to tackle common challenges and implement grade-wide systems, sharing responsibility for all students
- Dependable attendance according to our school calendar
We need to keep the parentheses etc.
Now Requirements: "General Requirements And Responsibilities" includes many sentences. Let's extract them:
- Embody KIPP MA’s Code of Conduct by acting with integrity, leading with humanity, centering self-awareness and critical consciousness, taking personal responsibility, and engaging productively
- Work toward MTEL requirements and SEI endorsements with study support from KIPP MA within the first year of employment
- Participate and engage in regional professional development and community events as required
- Demonstrated ability to collect and interpret data, evaluate, reason, define problems, establish facts, draw valid conclusions, and make reasonable judgments and decisions in a timely manner in accordance with the needs of the school
- Self-awareness, flexibility and emotional intelligence to navigate a setting with students who express diverse needs
- The consistent use of interpersonal and self-management skills to effectively support behavioral and emotional needs of students to ensure a safe and inclusive environment, as well as build relationships and manage conflict with students, staff, and caregivers
- Effective communication skills to perform assigned duties and to meaningfully exchange information with students, staff, families and others in person, through written communication, in front of groups, and on virtual platforms
- Physical mobility to move self in order to execute duties effectively, which may include kneeling, walking, pushing/pulling, squatting, twisting, turning, bending, stooping and reaching overhead
- Physical strength sufficient to periodically lift and/or carry 20 pounds of materials or supplies and to physically restrain a student to keep from harming themself and/or others in an emergency situation
- Manual dexterity sufficient to perform repetitive hand/wrist/arm motions and to operate a computer and office equipment
Note: The sentence "KIPP MA teachers are supported in their demanding work by experienced and dedicated leadership and staff who have themselves proven successful in the teaching role. Our leaders maintain consistent school-wide systems and procedures - academic, behavioral, cultural, logistical - designed to permit teachers to do their best work. In addition to the responsibilities listed above, there will occasionally be other duties as assigned that teachers will engage in to help promote a positive and calm learning environment and culture." This seems more like responsibilities but could be included under Responsibilities as well. However it's after General Requirements. Might be considered part of Responsibilities. But we already have Responsibilities list; we could add these as additional items. However the instruction: preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that text somewhere. It could go under Responsibilities as additional items.
Let's extract those sentences:
- KIPP MA teachers are supported in their demanding work by experienced and dedicated leadership and staff who have themselves proven successful in the teaching role.
- Our leaders maintain consistent school-wide systems and procedures - academic, behavioral, cultural, logistical - designed to permit teachers to do their best work.
- In addition to the responsibilities listed above, there will occasionally be other duties as assigned that teachers will engage in to help promote a positive and calm learning environment and culture.
We can add them to Responsibilities list.

Now Benefits: "KIPP MA Teaching Fellows are also eligible for a partial tuition scholarship to the BU Graduate School of Education if they are interested in pursuing a Master’s degree and MA Teacher’s License."
We can put that as a - under Benefits.
Now About the role: We need to include mission, what we do, who we are. Let's craft prose paragraphs preserving details.
Mission paragraph: "Together with our families and communities, we create joyful and identity-affirming schools where students achieve excellent and equitable academic outcomes. We believe doing this ensures that our students are prepared to pursue any path they choose — college, career, and beyond — so they can lead fulfilling lives and build a more just world."
Program description: "Our program is based on: A focus on high-quality instruction supported by rigorous professional development to ensure that our students develop the academic skills necessary to pursue the life they choose. A high regard for character development to ensure that our students and staff celebrate and develop their character and identity strengths. An emphasis on family engagement, because we believe that our students are most likely to be able to maximize their potential when we work in partnership with our students and their families. A focus on college readiness for all students so that all students can make choices about their post-secondary education and future."
What We Do: "We seek to provide a world-class education for students from educationally underserved communities in Lynn and Boston. Our student demographics mirror those of neighborhood schools in terms of race, socioeconomic status, Multilingual Learners (MLL), and students who receive special education services. Our promise to families is that their children will enter college and the professional world able to thrive academically due to their literacy, numeracy, and core knowledge in science and social studies. We also promise that our students will develop the zest for learning and grit necessary to persevere as they climb the mountain to and through college and career. Our graduates will be prepared to return to their community as teachers, leaders, and architects of continued growth in Lynn and Boston."
Who We Are: "KIPP Massachusetts began enrolling students in 2004. We currently hold two charters, operating two “districts.” Our first district, KIPP Academy Lynn Charter School, is based in Lynn, MA. Our second district, KIPP Academy Boston Charter School, is based in Mattapan, MA. Each district is housed on one or more “campuses,” which we use to refer to different grade spans, for example, elementary grades, middle school grades, or high school grades. In Lynn, KIPP Academy Lynn Elementary (serving grades K-4), KIPP Academy Lynn Middle (serving grades 5-8), and KIPP Academy Lynn Collegiate (serving grades 9-12), are all under our Lynn charter. Admission to any grade in the Lynn district is admission to all remaining grades in the Lynn district K-12. 74% of our students in Lynn are Hispanic, 15% are
