We need sections: About the role (maybe summary description?), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to decide which sections have content.
- About the role: Could be the summary description (what the job does). We'll include that.
- Responsibilities: Could be duties: provides direct, consultative, other program services; assesses plans and provides instruction; consults with staff; ability to administer, interpret, analyze data and write reports; attend meetings outside instructional day. We'll list as bullet list.
- Requirements: Might be physical demands? Not much. Could be special requirements: attend meetings outside day. But that's more responsibility. Could be "Physical Demands: As required by the duties and responsibilities of the job." That's vague. Might skip.
- Qualifications: Education, training, experience, certificate/license. We'll include.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills Abilities section. We'll include.
- Benefits: The posting says "This position does not include benefits." That's a statement about benefits, but it's not a benefit; it's a lack. Should we include Benefits section? The rule: include a section ONLY when the 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. Here it states "This position does not include benefits." That's specific content about benefits (i.e., none). So we can include Benefits section with that statement.
- Pay: Wage range $20.95-$37.00 per hour. That's specific. Include Pay.
- Schedule: Full-time, Working Months 10, Shift Day. That's specific. Include Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide which content is list vs prose.
Responsibilities: we have multiple duties; we can make a
list.
Requirements: maybe we have none? Could skip.
Qualifications: education, training, experience, certificate/license. Could be a list.
Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities list.
Benefits: statement about no benefits; could be .
Pay: statement about wage range; could be

We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details.
Summary Description (About the role):
"Under direction provides direct, consultative, and other program services for children ages three through five, who have disabilities in two or more developmental areas. Assesses plans and provides instruction on the MCPS pre kindergarten curriculum outcomes for students. Consults with staff (coordinator, program support teacher, related service providers, parent educators, and paraeducators) on strategies and accommodations to access the curriculum and school environment. Ability to administer, accurately interpret, analyze data and write concise educational assessment reports. Physical Demands: As required by the duties and responsibilities of the job. Special Requirements: Required to attend school meetings, programs and activities outside the instructional day as mandated by the MCEA agreement."
We might split responsibilities from summary. But we can treat summary as About the role (prose). Then Responsibilities list the duties.
Let's extract responsibilities bullet points:
- Provide direct, consultative, and other program services for children ages three through five with disabilities in two or more developmental areas.
- Assess and plan instruction on the MCPS pre‑kindergarten curriculum outcomes for students.
- Consult with staff (coordinator, program support teacher, related service providers, parent educators, and paraeducators) on strategies and accommodations to access the curriculum and school environment.

- Attend school meetings, programs, and activities outside the instructional day as mandated by the MCEA agreement.
Physical Demands: As required by the duties and responsibilities of the job. That's vague; maybe we can include as a note but it's not specific. Could omit.
Now Qualifications:
- Bachelor's degree in special education from an accredited college or university.
- Background in early childhood human development, developmental disabilities, and working with parents and families.
- Experience teaching pre‑kindergarten children with developmental delays desired.

- Thorough knowledge of educational techniques/programming to address multiple developmental delays.
- Knowledge of technology applications for pre‑kindergarten students.

Benefits: "This position does not include benefits."
Pay: "The wage range for this position is between $20.95 and $37.00 per hour."
Schedule: "Full-time; Working Months 10; Shift Day." Also maybe location: Forest Knolls Elementary School, Silver Spring. But location not part of schedule; but we could include location in About the role? Not needed. The posting includes "Job Early Childhood Organization Forest Knolls Elementary School Primary Location Silver Spring". That's organization/location. Could be part of About the role? Might be considered metadata. But we can include as a short paragraph under About the role? The rule: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Location is minor metadata; we could include in a
under About the role or separate? Probably we can include location in About the role as a sentence.
Also "Long-term Substitute December 17 - March 17." That's duration. Could be included in About the role or maybe as a note. It's substantive: the position is a long-term substitute for those dates. We should preserve that. Could be included in About the role or maybe a separate section like "Assignment". But we don't have a heading for that; we could fold into About the role.
Also "Job Posting Sep 15, 2026, 3:41:25 PM" is metadata; we can drop.
Thus About the role paragraph could include: Long-term Substitute (Dec 17-Mar 17) at Forest Knolls Elementary School, Silver Spring; provides direct consultative services etc.
Let's craft.
