We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Job Summary (which could be About the role). Responsibilities (list of duties). Education Required (Qualifications). Experience Required (maybe part of Qualifications). Other Requirements (maybe Skills? Actually other requirements like transportation, bilingual). Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (Skills). Benefits (explicit). Pay: there is "Estimated Annual Salary Range 130,000.00". That's pay info. Schedule: not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule. Also we should not include Pay if it's just a number? It says "Estimated Annual Salary Range 130,000.00". That's specific, so include Pay section. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for each section heading. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. Remove duplicated lines. Remove application instructions (none). Remove Posting Date, Primary Location, Job Grade, Position Type, Overtime Status? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it. Probably we can include a short paragraph with location and posting date? The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a

    with location and posting date maybe. But we should not create a heading for that. We'll include a

    after the heading sections maybe. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now craft HTML. Structure:

    About the role

    Job summary paragraph: The Executive Director of English Learner Instructional Development will lead OMME’s efforts ... etc. We need to preserve all substantive info from Job Summary. Let's extract that paragraph. Job Summary text: "The Executive Director of English Learner Instructional Development will lead OMME’s efforts in enhancing the educational experience of English Learners (ELs) and promoting bilingual education excellence. This role will oversee the development, implementation, and evaluation of EL and bilingual best practices in instructional programs, as well as the integration of high-quality curricula such as Skyline. The Executive Director will play a pivotal role in setting and executing OMME's vision for educational excellence by providing strategic direction and support to educators, administrators, Network teams, and other stakeholders. This position will lead a team of direct reporting professionals and will report to the Chief of OMME." We'll put that in

    . Then Responsibilities: list of duties. We need to capture each bullet. The responsibilities list is long, many sentences. We'll convert each sentence into

  • . Ensure we keep all. Let's extract responsibilities sentences (they start with "Lead the development..." etc). We'll list them. I'll copy them: - Lead the development, implementation, and ongoing improvement of a district-wide strategy for ensuring high-quality EL and bilingual instruction in alignment with district goals and bilingual and educational best practices - Engage in cross-departmental collaboration with department leaders, subject matter experts and instructional leaders to collaborate in the development of a strategic plan regarding the development of curriculum materials and instructional tools to support the achievement of educational excellence for EL students - Advocate for equity and accessibility in the curriculum and inclusion of required EL program components in Tier 1 instruction - Collaborate on the design and updating of curriculum materials, resources, and assessments, ensuring that instructional programs for ELs are built on the strong foundation of required and research-proven EL program components, provided by highly qualified and appropriately endorsed educators - In collaboration with CIDL and Literacy, oversee the development and continual improvement of the Skyline Spanish Language Arts (SLA/ALE) curriculum - Oversee the design and delivery of comprehensive professional development (PD) programs for teachers, instructional staff, and administrators, ensuring PD offerings enhance and/or implement new teaching methodologies and instructional strategies aligned with English language development standards and best practices around EL and bilingual education - Connect and collaborate directly with network and school leaders to support the implementation of curriculum and instructional strategies - Guide and inform the design and delivery of comprehensive professional development programs for teachers and administrators, ensuring that instructional programs for ELs are built on the solid foundation of required and research-proven EL program components provided by highly qualified and appropriately endorsed educators - Analyze and report on student performance data to identify strengths and areas for improvement in instructional practices and student achievement; utilize data insights to inform strategic decisions, driving improvement and student success - Support the development and implementation of regular assessment and feedback mechanisms to evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs and initiatives - Monitor the progress of instructional goals and objectives - Create and lead the design of a shift in practice to a coaching support model where OMME Network specialists support English Language Program Teachers (ELPTs) ELPTs via coaching in best EL instructional practices - Provide guidance and support to OMME Network Specialists and oversee instructional coaching, mentoring, and classroom observations - Supervise, develop, and manage the performance of a team of direct reports,, including feedback, coaching, and support in achieving team and individual goals; establish and maintain high standards for team output, deliverables, and overall performance - Collaborate with the Director of EL Network Support and the Director of EL instructional practice to improve instructional practices across the district - Lead the development of tools and practices to support interventions for ELs - Promote differentiated instruction and inclusive practices to meet the diverse learning needs of students - Foster a culture of continuous learning and professional growth among educators - Collaborate with other OMME teams to ensure a connection to parent and community engagement - Collaborate with OMME internal teams on budget planning and allocation for curriculum development, professional development, instructional materials, and special projects - Other duties and workstreams as assigned Note there is a double comma in "direct reports,," but we keep as is. Now Education Required: Master’s Degree in Education is required; Valid Professional Educator License (PEL) issued by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) with bilingual and/or ESL and administrative endorsements is required; Doctoral Degree in Education with a study focus on bilingualism or second language acquisition, preferred. We can put as
    • each. Experience Required: Minimum of seven (7) years of relevant professional leadership experience working with bilingual programs in the education field, including the following, is required: - Minimum of five (5) years of classroom teaching experience - Minimum of five (5) years of experience managing a team of direct reports as well as district-wide strategic initiatives - Minimum of three (3) years of experience working with adult learners, including creating, organizing, and facilitating professional learning experiences to meet the needs of participants - Experience managing budgets or grant-funded programs - Experience presenting to various stakeholders in more than one language preferred We'll list as
    • . Other Requirements: Access to reliable transportation to travel to schools and other locations throughout the district is required; Bilingual/multilingual required. We could put under Skills? Actually these are other requirements; could be part of Requirements or Skills. We'll maybe put under Requirements as separate list? But we already have Education and Experience. Could combine into Requirements section with sublists? Simpler: create a section "Requirements" and include education, experience, other requirements as lists. But the instruction: Use

      for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Requirements heading and include education, experience, other requirements as lists. Or we could split into Qualifications and Skills. But we have both Education and Experience (qualifications) and Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities (skills). So we can have Qualifications heading for education+experience, and Skills heading for knowledge, skills, abilities. Other requirements (transportation, bilingual) could go under Skills or Qualifications? Probably under Skills as they are abilities. We'll put them under Skills. Thus:

      Qualifications

      • Master’s Degree in Education is required

      But nesting
        inside
      • is okay but might be messy. Could instead have separate sections: Education, Experience. But headings limited to given list; we could still use Requirements heading and then separate

        for education and experience? However instruction: Use

        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need lists for each. Simplify: Have

          Qualifications

          with two sublists: Education and Experience. Could use

          headings inside? Not allowed to create extra headings. Could use

          bold? Not needed. We'll just list all items flat. Thus:
