Faculty - Tenure Track, Secondary and Special Education

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the posting. First, remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide sections. We have: - Position Announcement: The School of Education at Utah Valley University invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position as a Secondary Education faculty member with expertise in disciplinary literacy, classroom management, educational technology, or assessment of teaching quality in the Secondary & Special Education Department. The successful candidate will have a demonstrated knowledge of teacher education principles and practices as well as relevant K-12 teaching experience. This individual will teach undergraduate courses in secondary education and related subjects aligned with their expertise. The position will begin on August 1st, 2027. UVU’s School of Education prepares forward-thinking educators and leaders through innovative teaching, reflective teaching practice, cutting-edge research, ethical AI integration, and impactful partnerships with schools, communities, and industries. The School of Education seeks to build on a tradition of excellence in teacher and leader preparation while looking to the future. The School of Education currently offers undergraduate degrees in teacher education and graduate degrees in educational leadership, school counseling, applied behavior analysis, and graduate certificates and endorsements, as well as several other programs. These degrees help fill the growing demand for educator professionals across the state of Utah. Utah Valley University is a comprehensive state institution of higher education with over 46,000 students and offers highly competitive benefits to faculty. UVU is located in Orem, Utah, near some of the premier outdoor activity areas in the country. Orem is on the western front of the Wasatch Mountains and offers access to numerous outdoor activities, including snow sports, hiking, mountain biking, and hunting. The UVU campus is served by a wonderful public transit system, including a rail line that runs along the entire Wasatch Front urban corridor. The UVU School of Education has strong ties with other universities and with professionals within and outside of Utah. UVU and the School of Education support students in engaged learning by offering many experiential learning opportunities. That's about the role and institution. Then "Summary Of Responsibilities" list. Then "Qualifications / Licenses / Certifications" with required and preferred. Then "Documents Needed To Apply" (application instructions) - we need to remove application instructions per instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So we should drop the Documents Needed To Apply section. Then "Knowledge / Skills / Abilities" broken into Knowledge, Skills, Abilities subsections. We need to map to headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content for About the role (institution description). Responsibilities (list). Requirements (maybe qualifications). Qualifications (maybe same as Requirements? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide which content goes where. We have qualifications/licenses/certifications (required and preferred). That's qualifications. We also have Knowledge/Skills/Abilities which could map to Skills (maybe also Requirements? but we have separate Skills heading). The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should include those headings only if we have content. We have content for About the role (institution description). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (required/preferred). Skills (knowledge/skills/abilities). Possibly Requirements could be same as Qualifications? But we have both headings; maybe we can put required qualifications under Requirements and preferred under Qualifications? However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine. We need to decide: Use About the role for the introductory paragraph about position and institution. Use Responsibilities for the list. Use Qualifications for the required/preferred qualifications. Use Skills for the Knowledge/Skills/Abilities breakdown. Possibly we could also include Requirements as a subsection within Qualifications? But we need to follow the allowed headings; we can omit Requirements if we don't have distinct content. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we don't have distinct content for Requirements, we omit it. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. We also need to check for Benefits, Pay, Schedule: The posting mentions "offers highly competitive benefits to faculty" but no specifics. That's vague; we should not create Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. Pay not mentioned. Schedule not mentioned (position start date given but that's not schedule). So we omit those. Now we need to format. Use

for each section heading. Then content: For prose use

. For lists use

• . We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to include the position start date August 1st, 2027. We need to include the expertise areas: disciplinary literacy, classroom management, educational technology, or assessment of teaching quality. We need to include that the candidate will teach undergraduate courses in secondary education and related subjects aligned with expertise. We need to include the description of UVU School of Education etc. We need to include the list of responsibilities exactly as given (maybe as bullet points). The responsibilities list: - Teach professional-level courses. - Prepare instructional materials (course outlines, syllabi, exams, etc.) as necessary. - Maintain a student-centered approach to education. - Maintain and submit accurate, up-to-date reports and records related to student accountability and performance. - Conference with students regarding coursework, field work, and academic endeavors. - Mentors students in teacher performance assessments. - Improve professionally and maintain currency in the courses taught. - Participate in scholarly activities. - Provide service to the college. - Participate in the school accreditation process regarding key assignments, etc. - Develop positive relationships with colleagues, public school teachers, administration, and other education stakeholders. - Serve on committees and attend faculty and other meetings as assigned. - Perform other job-related duties, as assigned. We need to keep them as list items. Qualifications / Licenses / Certifications: Required: - Graduation from an accredited institution with a doctoral degree in education or in a closely-related field (or ABD with dissertation defense scheduled; degree must be in hand by position start date). - At least two years of relevant K-12 learner-centered teaching experience. Preferred Qualifications: - At least two years of college/university teaching experience. - Earned relevant professional license or credentials. - Additional K-12 teaching experience. - Experience supporting preservice teachers in a capstone project and/or student teaching supervision. We need to preserve that. Knowledge / Skills / Abilities: Knowledge: - Thorough knowledge of and demonstrated competence in Content Literacy, Classroom Management, Teacher Performance Assessments or Instructional Technology. - Thorough knowledge of current research, instructional theory, methods, strategies, assessments, innovations, and techniques in pre-service teacher education, including clinical programming and teacher performance assessment. - Knowledge of cultural competencies to work effectively with all students and colleagues. - Knowledge of and willingness to uphold professional and ethical teaching standards. - Knowledge of content and skills required to teach courses in Content Literacy and mentor students in teacher performance assessments to prospective teachers and graduate students. Skills: - Skills in managing a productive teaching/learning environment. - Skills in mentoring prospective teachers in performance teacher assessments. - Skills in working collaboratively with students, university and school colleagues, and the community. - Excellent communication skills and ability to relate well with students and colleagues. - Effective human relations skills, including working with individuals from all backgrounds. Abilities: - Ability to work effectively in an environment that values exceptional care, exceptional accountability, and exceptional results. - Ability to communicate and relate positively with colleagues, students, and 7-12 personnel. - Ability to produce scholarly work. We need to map Knowledge/Skills/Abilities to Skills section? The heading Skills is appropriate for skills, but we also have knowledge and abilities. Could we make a combined section "Skills" that includes knowledge, skills, abilities? Or we could split into Knowledge, Skills, Abilities but those are not in the allowed headings list. The allowed headings list includes Skills but not Knowledge or Abilities. However we could still include Knowledge and Abilities as subheadings inside a Skills section? The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It seems they expect only those headings. So we should not create headings for Knowledge or Abilities. Instead we can incorporate knowledge and abilities into the Skills section as prose or lists. Thus we will have a Skills section that includes knowledge, skills, abilities all as bullet points maybe grouped. We need to preserve all substantive information; we can list them as bullet points under Skills. We could also separate into subheadings using

  ? Not allowed? The instruction only mentions

  for section headings. It doesn't forbid lower headings, but to be safe we can just use

  paragraphs or

  lists. Better: Use

  Skills

  then maybe

  Knowledge

  etc. But that might be considered extra heading not in the list. Safer to just use

  for prose and

  for lists, and within the Skills section we can have separate
  for knowledge, skills, abilities with preceding

  labels. We need to avoid inventing or summarizing away detail. So we need to keep each bullet. Thus:
