We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Use

for section headings 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, no invented or summarizing away detail. Remove boilerplate like EEO, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Working Title: English as a Second Language Adjunct - Role Title: English as a Second Language Adjunct - Role Code: FLSA Exempt - Pay Band: UG - Position Number: 295A0879 - Agency: Tidewater Community College - Division: Tidewater Community College (Div) - Work Location: Virginia Beach - 810 - Hiring Range: $793 - $1,375 per credit hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience. - Emergency/Essential Personnel: No - EEO Category: I-Faculty - Full Time or Part Time: Part Time - Telework options: subject to change based on business needs (but we might not include as it's not specific? It says "Does this position have telework options? -Telework options are subject to change based on business needs-". This is vague; we might not include a Telework section because it's not specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we can include Pay if there is actual range: "$793 - $1,375 per credit hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience." That's specific enough (range). So we can include Pay section. - Does this position have a bilingual or multilingual skill requirement or preference? Not answered; blank. So we skip. - Work Schedule: Varies (that's placeholder/vague). According to instruction, we should not create Schedule section if it's just "Varies" (placeholder). So skip. - Sensitive Position: No (skip) - Job Description: includes description about TCC, adjunct faculty responsibilities. - Functional Responsibilities: list of duties. - Special Assignments: may be required to perform other duties as assigned; may be required to assist agency or state government generally in event of emergency declaration. - KSA's/Required Qualifications: Master’s Degree with 18 graduate semester hours in English as a Second Language (TESOL). Ability to communicate effectively in an electronic format. - Additional Considerations: Teaching experience at the college level. Knowledge of CANVAS or other learning management systems. Knowledge of, and experience with, proven teaching strategies that promote student success. Candidates should possess sufficient technology skills to work productively in an organization that utilizes significant information and instructional technology resources. - Operation of a State Vehicle: No - Supervises Employees: No - Required Travel: No - Posting Number: ADJ_3621P (maybe minor metadata, we can drop) - Recruitment Type: General Public - G - Number of Vacancies: 1 - Position End Date (if temporary): blank - Job Open Date: 09/17/2026 - Job Close Date: 11/07/2026 - Open Until Filled: No - Agency Website: TCC.edu - Contact Name Email Phone Number: not provided? It says "Contact Name Email Phone Number" but blank. - Special Instructions to Applicants: Additional Information Background Check Statement Disclaimer etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the background check statement, EEO statement, ADA statement, E-Verify statement, etc. Also remove the link to ethics.dls.virginia.gov, EEO statement, ADA statement, E-Verify statement, Quicklink for Posting. Thus we keep only substantive info: description about TCC, responsibilities, qualifications, etc. Also maybe include "About the role" section summarizing the description about TCC and role. Could also include "Responsibilities" section from Functional Responsibilities and Special Assignments. "Requirements" maybe combine KSA's/Required Qualifications and Additional Considerations as qualifications. Could also have "Qualifications" section. The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which to use. We have Pay info: we can include Pay section with the range. We have no Benefits info specific; skip. We have no Schedule specific; skip. We have no Skills section explicitly but we could put skills under Skills heading if we have specific skills: Ability to communicate effectively in an electronic format, Knowledge of CANVAS or other LMS, proven teaching strategies, sufficient technology skills. Those could be skills. But we also have qualifications (Master's degree, 18 grad hours). Could separate. We need to avoid filler headings. So we should include only those with real content. Potential sections: - About the role: description of TCC and adjunct role. - Responsibilities: functional responsibilities + special assignments. - Qualifications: Master's degree with 18 graduate semester hours in ESL/TESOL, ability to communicate effectively electronically. - Skills: teaching experience at college level, knowledge of CANVAS or other LMS, knowledge of proven teaching strategies that promote student success, sufficient technology skills. - Pay: hiring range $793 - $1,375 per credit hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience. We should not include Requirements if we already have Qualifications and Skills; but we could combine. The instruction says use those headings if we have content. We could have Requirements as a combined section for required qualifications (degree, etc.) and Skills for preferred qualifications. That seems okay. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact phrasing? We can rephrase but must preserve meaning. Safer to copy sentences. Let's extract exact sentences. About the role: The paragraph about TCC and adjunct faculty member responsibilities. From posting: "Tidewater Community College has served South Hampton Roads – both students and employers – for 50 years. It has grown from 1 campus into a regional educational and economic force. TCC is the largest provider of higher education and workforce services in Hampton Roads, enrolling nearly 25,000 students in 2024-25. Founded in 1968 as a part of the Virginia Community College System, Tidewater Community College (TCC) services South Hampton Roads with 4 campuses in Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Virginia Beach, 7 regional centers and 2 important cultural institutions. The college had 3,399 graduates in 2024-2025, 40 percent of whom pursued degrees that would let them transfer to 4-year institutions. Of South Hampton Roads residents enrolled in higher education 33% enrolled at TCC. TCC’s institutional accreditation is affirmed through 2027 by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. The adjunct faculty member is responsible for teaching courses to which he/she has specific training or competence. Plans, organizes, teaches, and provides feedback to students to promote and direct student learning in either a classroom, remote via Zoom, or online environment to students with a wide variety of academic backgrounds and experiences. Engages students outside of class via office hours and provides thorough, timely, and effective feedback to students regarding the mastery of course and program learning outcomes." We can keep that as About the role. Responsibilities: The Functional Responsibilities bullet list (though not bullet in text). It says: "Functional Responsibilities Responsible for creating a learning environment that facilitates students’ acquisition of knowledge and skills in a discipline and/or program. Aligns course activities with student learning outcomes for the course; employ a variety of active learning strategies to foster student engagement; employ appropriate technology and supporting materials that support course and/or program learning outcomes; and provide students with prompt and meaningful feedback on course activities and assignments, communicating with students in a timely and respectful manner. Deliver instruction in support of stated learning outcomes; adhere to college policies and procedures for participation in student surveys of instruction; conduct meaningful and timely assessments of student learning, including at least one assessment within the first 15% of class; and analyze the previous semester’s evaluation of instruction and develop and implement appropriate action plans as necessary. Responsibilities may include work during the day, evening and/or weekend as determined by the course(s) assigned. Hold at least 1 office hour per week for each course assigned. Special Assignments May be required to perform other duties as assigned. May be required to assist the agency or state government generally in the event of an emergency declaration by the Governor." We can turn each sentence into list items? The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should make a list. We'll break into items. List items: - Responsible for creating a learning environment that facilitates students’ acquisition of knowledge and skills in a discipline and/or program. - Aligns course activities with student learning outcomes for the course; employ a variety of active learning strategies to foster student engagement; employ appropriate technology and supporting materials that support course and/or program learning outcomes; and provide students with prompt and meaningful feedback on course activities and assignments, communicating with students in a timely and respectful manner. - Deliver instruction in support of stated learning outcomes; adhere to college policies and procedures for participation in student surveys of instruction; conduct meaningful and timely assessments of student learning, including at least one assessment within the first 15% of class; and analyze the previous semester’s evaluation of instruction and develop and implement appropriate action plans as necessary. - Responsibilities may include work during the day, evening and/or weekend as determined by the course(s) assigned. - Hold at least 1 office hour per week for each course assigned. - May be required to perform other duties as assigned. - May be required to assist the agency or state government generally in the event of an emergency declaration by the Governor. We need to preserve the exact wording; ensure we keep semicolons etc. Qualifications: KSA's/Required Qualifications: "Master’s Degree with 18 graduate semester hours in English as a Second Language (TESOL). Ability to communicate effectively in an electronic format." We can list as items. Skills: Additional Considerations: "Teaching experience at the college level. Knowledge of CANVAS or other learning management systems. Knowledge of, and experience with, proven teaching strategies that promote student success. Candidates should possess sufficient technology skills to work productively in an organization that utilizes significant information and instructional technology resources." We can list as items. Pay: "Hiring Range $793 - $1,375 per credit hour, commensurate with qualifications and experience." We should keep that exactly. We should not include any boilerplate like EEO etc. Now produce HTML fragment:
