English as a Second Language (ESL) Teacher – K-6th Grade - 2026/2027 School Year
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We should not repeat job title as heading. We should not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some promotional text like "Why You Should Apply", "Studies have shown...". That's maybe not essential but it's substantive? It's more about encouraging application; maybe we can keep as part of About? But we can drop if it's generic. The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Why You Should Apply" is not boilerplate but maybe considered application encouragement; but it's not a list of duties etc. Might keep as part of About? However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could combine About Mastery and The Opportunity into an "About the role" section? Actually they gave examples of headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: description of Mastery, mission, location, opportunity (multilingual programs). Could be About the role.
- Responsibilities: Duties and Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Education, Experience, and Skills (maybe combine as Requirements/Qualifications). Could have Requirements (education, experience) and Skills separate? But they said prefer few sections. Could have Requirements (includes education, experience, skills). Or separate Qualifications and Skills. Let's see: They gave examples: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include Requirements (education, experience) and Skills (list of skills). But we have Education, Experience, and Skills combined. Could split: Requirements: Bachelor’s degree required, teacher certification completed or in process. Qualifications: Demonstrated expertise in subject area, commitment to underserved communities, determination to drive student achievement, ability to motivate, support, challenge students, positive mindset, solutions-oriented resiliency. Skills: Outstanding instructional skills driven by data, rigorous and engaging strategies. But that's splitting hairs. Might be okay to have Requirements (education & experience) and Skills (the rest). However they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe just one Requirements section covering education, experience, and skills. But they gave separate headings as examples, not mandatory. We'll decide to include Requirements (education & experience) and Skills (the skill list). That's two sections.
- Benefits: Mastery's Benefits Package.
- Pay: Salary and Bonus Information.
- Schedule: Not provided (no schedule details). So we should NOT include Schedule section because no specific content.
- Annual Calendar: Not a standard heading; could be considered part of Benefits? But it's not a benefit per se; it's more info. Might be considered boilerplate? It's not required. Could drop.
- Physical Requirements: Could be part of Requirements? But it's a separate aspect. Could include as a section maybe "Physical Requirements". Not in the examples but we can include if substantive. The instruction: Use headings from examples but not limited? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It gives examples but not exclusive list. Could add Physical Requirements as its own heading if needed. But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Physical Requirements is substantive. Could include as a section.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we must include Physical Requirements details.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education & experience), Skills, Physical Requirements, Benefits, Pay.
We must not include headings with filler text. Ensure each has content.
Now format: Use for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to extract lists:
Duties and Responsibilities: bullet points (each line starts with a verb). We'll make

We could also include "Commitment to and experience working with underserved communities" as skill.
Physical Requirements: list of abilities: traveling to network campuses; maneuvering in office spaces (including standing, walking, sitting for long periods of time, speaking loudly and clearly, seeing and hearing things both near and far away); stooping, kneeling, reaching file cabinets/shelves; fine finger and hand manipulation in use of computer, chalkboard, dry erase, &/or projectors; filing, faxing, scanning, coping [typo: copying], typing, mailing, and making phone calls; sitting for up to two (2) hours looking at a computer monitor, using a keyboard/mouse, and typing.

We can put in

About the role: combine Mastery description, location, opportunity. We'll put in maybe multiple paragraphs.
We must not include repeated lines like "#TeachAtMasteryPA". Remove.
Also remove "Please go here to see all of our Benefits offerings !" and "Annual Calendar: As you plan to make Mastery your new work home, please feel free to review our calendar here . We like to think our calendar is a benefit of working here too!" That's maybe not essential but could be considered part of Benefits? It's a link; we can drop as it's just a reference. The instruction: Remove duplicated lines, application instructions. The "Please go here..." is application instruction? It's a link to benefits; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop.
Also remove "Why You Should Apply:" paragraph and following AI note. That's more about encouraging application; could be considered boilerplate? It's not a duty etc. Might be considered not essential. Safer to drop.
