ELL Paraprofessional
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Need to parse posting.
We have job title: Para-Educator – Teacher Aide - @ David City Elem English Language Learner Program Positions Available in All Buildings.
We need to not repeat job title as heading.
We need to include sections: maybe About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential job functions), Requirements (required employee characteristics), Qualifications (maybe none?), Skills (maybe oral expression etc?), Benefits (none?), Pay (none?), Schedule (none?). We must not create sections with placeholder text.
We need to preserve all substantive information, remove boilerplate like At-Will Employment etc? At-Will Employment is substantive? It's employment terms; maybe we can include in About the role or a separate section? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. At-Will Employment is not exactly boilerplate but maybe considered legal terms. Might be okay to keep? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. At-Will Employment is legal. So we should drop that.
Also "TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT: Salary and work year to be established by the Board of Education." That's about pay but says to be established, not specific. So we should not create Pay section because no specific salary. So we omit Pay.
Similarly Benefits: none specified. So omit Benefits.
Schedule: none specified. Omit Schedule.
Qualifications: maybe none explicit besides required employee characteristics? Could treat required employee characteristics as Skills or Requirements. The posting lists "Required Employee Characteristics" with many abilities. Those could go under Skills or Requirements. We need to decide.
We have "Essential Job Functions" list. Those are responsibilities.
We have "Specific Job Activities" list (more detailed). Those also responsibilities.
We have "Job Description Specific To Special Education (in addition to those already listed)" plus Early Childhood, Secondary or transition students, Library/Media. Those are also responsibilities/duties.
Thus we can combine all duty lists under Responsibilities.
For Requirements: maybe none explicit besides "regular, dependable attendance on the job" etc. That's more of a responsibility. There's no explicit education or certification requirement. So maybe we skip Requirements section.
Skills: The Required Employee Characteristics list includes abilities like Oral Expression, Written Expression, Speech Clarity, Oral Comprehension, Written Comprehension, Near Vision, Auditory Attention, Problem Sensitivity, Exhibit and maintain patience. Those are skills/abilities. So we can put those under Skills.
About the role: we can summarize goal and reporting line.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills.
We must not include empty sections.
Now format: Use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information: we must not lose any detail from the lists. So we need to include each bullet item from Essential Job Functions, Specific Job Activities, Special Education, Early Childhood, Secondary/transition, Library/Media.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate lines. There may be overlapping items; we should deduplicate? The instruction: remove duplicated lines. So we should avoid repeating same line. We need to check for duplicates across sections.
