We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the job posting. Job title: Teacher (already shown, not repeat heading). Reports to: Principal etc. We need to include metadata maybe in a short

. The instructions: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a

for Reports to, Receives guidance from, Overtime Status maybe. Job Purpose paragraph: "In keeping a tradition of excellence, a teacher in the Rankin County School District is expected to help students learn required subject matter and skills that will contribute to their development as mature, able and responsible men and women. To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily. The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions." That's prose ->

. Then Duties And Responsibilities: a long list of bullet-like sentences. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should create a
      with each duty as
    • . Probably each sentence separated by semicolon? The text includes many sentences separated by spaces. We'll split each duty as separate
    • . We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each duty as separate bullet. We need to decide grouping: maybe each sentence ends with a period. We'll split by period? But some sentences have internal periods like "e.g." Not present. We'll just treat each line separated by a semicolon? Actually the original text: "Meet and instruct assigned classes at the assigned school and at times designated by PrincipalPlan a program of study that, as much as possible, meets the individual needs, interests and abilities of the studentsLessons are aligned to standards and represent a coherent sequence of learningLessons have high levels of learning for all studentsAssist students in taking responsibility for learning and monitors student learningProvide multiple ways for students to make meaning of contentManage a learning-focused classroom community; Create a classroom environment that is conducive to learning and appropriate to the maturity and interests of the studentsManage classroom space, time, and resources effectively for student learningCreate and maintain a classroom of respect for all studentsEngage in professional learning; possess a growth mindsetEstablish and maintain effective communication with families/guardiansPrepare for classes assigned and show written evidence of preparation upon request of PrincipalEncourage students to set and maintain high standards of classroom behaviorGuide the learning process toward the achievement of curriculum goals and, in harmony with the goals, establish clear objectives for all lessons, units and projects to communicate these objectives to studentsEmploy a variety of instructional techniques and instructional media, consistent with the physical limitations of the location provided and the needs and capabilities of the individuals or student groups involvedImplement, by instruction and action, the district's philosophy of education and instructional goals and objectivesAssess the accomplishments of students on a regular basis and provide progress reports as assignedIdentify and report the possibility of learning disabilities of students on a regular basis and provide progress reports as requiredTake necessary and reasonable precautions to protect students, equipment, materials and facilitiesMaintain accurate, complete and correct records as required by law, district policy and administrative regulationAssist the administration in implementing policies and rules governing student life and conduct, and, for the classroom, develops reasonable rules of classroom behavior and procedure, and maintain order in the classroom in a fair and just mannerMake provision for being available to students and parents for education related purposes outside the instructional day when required or requested to do so under reasonable termsPlan and supervise purposeful assignments for teacher aide(s) and volunteer(s) and, cooperatively with department heads, evaluate the job performanceStrive to maintain and improve professional competence by participation in training sessions and classesAttend staff meetings and serve on staff committeesMaintain and accept responsibility for any district owned fixed asset item assigned to employee and ensure appropriate use by following district policies for acceptable useUndergo periodic evaluations according to state and board policy proceduresMaintain confidentialityRegular, timely/dependable, in person attendance is an essential function of this positionPerform such other and not specifically enumerated duties as may be requested by the Board of Education, superintendent, administrator, director or established by district policy, state, or federal guidelinesRead, understand, and abide by Employee Conduct Policy, GAB, all other district policies and applicable procedures and protocols as established by RCSD, and Mississippi Educator Code of Conduct" It seems there is no punctuation between sentences; they just concatenated. We need to split logically. This is tough. Perhaps we can keep as one big

      for duties? But instruction says use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to make list items. We could approximate by splitting at capital letters that start a new duty? Eg after each sentence there is a capital letter starting next duty (except after semicolons). Let's attempt to manually identify duties: 1. Meet and instruct assigned classes at the assigned school and at times designated by Principal 2. Plan a program of study that, as much as possible, meets the individual needs, interests and abilities of the students 3. Lessons are aligned to standards and represent a coherent sequence of learning 4. Lessons have high levels of learning for all students 5. Assist students in taking responsibility for learning and monitors student learning 6. Provide multiple ways for students to make meaning of content 7. Manage a learning-focused classroom community; Create a classroom environment that is conducive to learning and appropriate to the maturity and interests of the students 8. Manage classroom space, time, and resources effectively for student learning 9. Create and maintain a classroom of respect for all students 10. Engage in professional learning; possess a growth mindset 11. Establish and maintain effective communication with families/guardians 12. Prepare for classes assigned and show written evidence of preparation upon request of Principal 13. Encourage students to set and maintain high standards of classroom behavior 14. Guide the learning process toward the achievement of curriculum goals and, in harmony with the goals, establish clear objectives for all lessons, units and projects to communicate these objectives to students 15. Employ a variety of instructional techniques and instructional media, consistent with the physical limitations of the location provided and the needs and capabilities of the individuals or student groups involved 16. Implement, by instruction and action, the district's philosophy of education and instructional goals and objectives 17. Assess the accomplishments of students on a regular basis and provide progress reports as assigned 18. Identify and report the possibility of learning disabilities of students on a regular basis and provide progress reports as required 19. Take necessary and reasonable precautions to protect students, equipment, materials and facilities 20. Maintain accurate, complete and correct records as required by law, district policy and administrative regulation 21. Assist the administration in implementing policies and rules governing student life and conduct, and, for the classroom, develops reasonable rules of classroom behavior and procedure, and maintain order in the classroom in a fair and just manner 22. Make provision for being available to students and parents for education related purposes outside the instructional day when required or requested to do so under reasonable terms 23. Plan and supervise purposeful assignments for teacher aide(s) and volunteer(s) and, cooperatively with department heads, evaluate the job performance 24. Strive to maintain and improve professional competence by participation in training sessions and classes 25. Attend staff meetings and serve on staff committees 26. Maintain and accept responsibility for any district owned fixed asset item assigned to employee and ensure appropriate use by following district policies for acceptable use 27. Undergo periodic evaluations according to state and board policy procedures 28. Maintain confidentiality 29. Regular, timely/dependable, in person attendance is an essential function of this position 30. Perform such other and not specifically enumerated duties as may be requested by the Board of Education, superintendent, administrator, director or established by district policy, state, or federal guidelines 31. Read, understand, and abide by Employee Conduct Policy, GAB, all other district policies and applicable procedures and protocols as established by RCSD, and Mississippi Educator Code of Conduct That seems comprehensive. Now Qualifications: Education Level: Bachelor's degree in Education or higher; Certification: Hold an appropriate Mississippi Teaching Credential or valid emergency certification issued by the state of Mississippi Educational Board; Other Requirements: Required references and background check We need sections: Qualifications (maybe includes education, certification, other requirements). Could also have Requirements section? The instructions list possible headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Responsibilities (duties). We have Qualifications (education, certification, other). We might also have Requirements (maybe same as qualifications?). But we should not create thin sections. We could combine education/certification/other into Qualifications. Requirements maybe not needed if covered. We have Physical Demands and Work Environment sections; those could be under Requirements? Or maybe we could create a Requirements section that includes Physical Demands and Work Environment. But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we have sections: About the role (Job Purpose), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (education, certification, other requirements, physical demands, work environment). Could also include Skills? Not explicitly listed; but we could infer skills from duties but better not to invent. So we skip Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule as not present. We need to include metadata like Reports to etc in a short

        . We'll put after job purpose maybe. Thus HTML:

        Reports to: Principal. Receives guidance from: Principal or Lead Teacher. Overtime Status: Compliant with position, salary and FLSA regulations.

        Then

        About the role

        Job purpose paragraph.

        Then

        Responsibilities

          with each duty as
        • . Then

          Qualifications

          maybe we need subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. So we can put

          for each qualification line? Or we can make

            for qualifications list. Since it's a list, we should use
            • . So we can have

              Qualifications

              • Education Level: Bachelor's degree in Education or higher
              • Certification: Hold an appropriate Mississippi Teaching Credential or valid emergency certification issued by the state of Mississippi Educational Board
              • Other Requirements: Required references and background check
              Physical Demands and Work Environment: maybe also under Qualifications as separate
            • items? Could add them as list items under Qualifications as well. That would be more substantive. Thus Qualifications list includes: Education Level, Certification, Other Requirements, Physical Demands, Work Environment. We need to preserve all substantive info: include physical demands description and work environment description. Thus:
            • Physical Demands: The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to perform the essential functions of this job successfully. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.
