Elementary Special Education School Teacher
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer..." etc. Also remove "If you are a job seeker with a disability..." etc. Also remove "All employment is 'at-will'..." maybe considered legal boilerplate; we should remove. Also remove "The above job is not intended to be an all-inclusive list..." maybe also boilerplate. Keep substantive content: Required Certificates and Licenses, Residency Requirements, Salary, Start Date, description of company, mission, role description, essential functions list, supervisory responsibilities, other required qualifications, desired qualifications, work environment, job type.
We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe company description and mission). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (required certificates, residency, background check, etc). Qualifications (other required qualifications). Skills (maybe proficient in MS Office, communication, etc). Benefits (none given? Not mentioned). Pay (salary given). Schedule (maybe not given; start date given but schedule not). We have start date but not schedule. Should we include Schedule? Only if posting actually states schedule; not present. So omit Schedule. Benefits: not mentioned; omit. Pay: we have salary; include Pay section.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Salary is specific: base salary around $52,000. Good.
We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like "Texas Special Education and ESL preferred", "Residency Requirements: Texas", "Start Date: School Year 2026/2027". Also "K12, a Stride Company, believes in Education for ANYONE..." etc.
We need to format lists with - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So essential functions list should be

We need to use

We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML.

Work Environment
The work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This is a home-based position with seasonal travel requirements.
Pay
Salary: This position offers a base salary around $52,000
Start Date
Start Date: School Year 2026/2027
We need to ensure we didn't include sections like Benefits (none). Also we included Start Date as a section; is that allowed? The allowed headings list includes Schedule, but not Start Date. However the instruction says: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exclusive list. So we can add Start Date as a heading if appropriate. It's not in the list but seems okay as it's a section heading. However they said "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." This implies those are examples; we can use other headings if needed. Probably fine.
We must not repeat job title as heading; we didn't.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none.
We must remove boilerplate: we removed EEO, at-will, etc.
Check if any duplicated lines: we kept essential functions list; we removed duplicate "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential duties." appears twice in original; we kept one in Work Environment paragraph maybe. Actually we included that sentence in Work Environment paragraph. The essential functions also had "Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential duties." at start. We omitted that duplicate; we kept only one mention in Work Environment. That's okay; we preserved substance but removed duplicate.
We also removed "The above job is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of duties and standards of the position. Incumbents will follow any other instructions, and perform any other related duties, as assigned by their supervisor." That's boilerplate.
We removed "All employment is “at-will” as governed by the law of the state where the employee works. It is further understood that the “at-will” nature of employment is one aspect of employment that cannot be changed except in writing and signed by an authorized officer." That's legal boilerplate.
We removed "If you are a job seeker with a disability and require a reasonable accommodation to apply for one of our jobs, you can request the appropriate accommodation by contacting stridecareers@k12.com." That's application instruction/accommodation request; we removed.
We removed EEO statements.
We kept "Job Type Regular" maybe? Not included; we omitted as not substantive? Could be considered minor metadata; we could drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Job Type Regular is minor metadata; we can drop it.
We kept Start Date and Pay as sections.
Check if any other minor metadata like "K12, a Stride Company" we kept in About the role.
Now ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: "Special Education Teacher is the teacher of record for their students and provides instruction, support and guidance and manages the learning process focusing on self-contained and ALT students’ individual needs as defined by each student’s Individual Education Program (IEP)." included.
"Progress monitoring on goals and service logs as required in serving special education students and for all compliance documents required in serving self-contained and ALT students." included.
"Collaborate with parents and colleagues to manage coarse goals, curriculum, and materials that enhance the learning experience;" original says "coarse goals" maybe typo for "course goals". We kept as "course goals". Should we preserve original wording? It says "coarse goals". We should preserve exactly as posted, not correct. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep "coarse goals". Let's adjust that bullet.
Also "Manager to create compliant IEP’s, progress reports and other state specific required special education documentation;" we kept.
"Participate and provide input for collaborative special education meetings such as annual IEP meetings;" kept.
"Actively participate in Professional Learning Communities (or professional development);" kept.
