Job Posting date. - Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities: list of knowledge/abilities. - Education, Training, And Experience: detailed requirements. - Certificate and License Requirements: None. We need to map to sections.

We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay, Schedule, Benefits. We need to ensure we don't repeat job title. No headings for Job ID etc. We need to use

for section headings. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting didn't have obvious boilerplate besides maybe the link for benefits (we keep). The "Job Specific Information" includes eligibility criteria; we keep. We need to ensure we don't include duplicated lines. Let's extract content precisely. First, Summary Description Of Classification paragraph(s). We'll combine into a prose

    maybe multiple sentences. We'll create About the role section with that description. Responsibilities: list of duties. We need to decide what goes where. Could combine summary and responsibilities but better separate. Let's list duties from description: - Performs a variety of tasks that promote student learning and well-being to support students with IEP. - May participate with students in learning activities off school grounds. - Assist students with various needs related to academic, behavioral, social, emotional, and physical support. - Work focused on facilitating student mastery of grade-level curriculum or mastery of Alternate Academic Achievement Standards and managing behaviors that impact the student's ability to access the curriculum. - Students may participate in general education classes and/or specialized instructional settings throughout the school day and may be pulled out for individualized or small group reinforcement of instruction. - Performs a variety of instructional and classroom management supports, as well as related clerical tasks to support teachers and other professional staff in all classrooms or learning environments. - Continues planned instructional activities during teacher's temporary absence from the classroom. - May require specific training to successfully fulfill the role. Also physical demands: frequent bending, walking, lifting objects/equipment up to 50 pounds. Special requirements: Outside duty may be required. Must be able to accommodate flexible scheduling and change of location and/or program, as needed. We could put physical demands and special requirements under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put physical demands under Responsibilities (as part of job duties) or under Requirements (as job requirements). Probably Responsibilities includes duties; physical demands could be under Requirements (as special requirements). But we need to decide. Better: Responsibilities: list of instructional and support duties. Requirements: physical demands, special requirements, eligibility (transcript/ParaPro), education/training/experience, certificate/license. Qualifications: maybe education, training, experience, certificate/license (but that overlaps). Actually Qualifications could be education, training, experience, certificate/license. Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities. We need to avoid duplication. Let's map: - About the role: summary description (first paragraph). - Responsibilities: list of duties (support IEP, off-school grounds, academic/behavioral/social/emotional/physical support, facilitate mastery, manage behavior, instructional/classroom management supports, clerical tasks, support teachers, continue instructional activities during teacher absence, may require specific training). - Requirements: physical demands (frequent bending, walking, lifting up to 50 lbs), special requirements (outside duty may be required, flexible scheduling, change of location/program, continue instructional activities during teacher absence? Actually that is duty; but we already have that. We'll keep special requirements: outside duty may be required, must accommodate flexible scheduling and change of location/program as needed). Also eligibility: transcript/ParaPro requirement. Also education/training/experience requirements. Also certificate/license: None. - Qualifications: maybe we could combine education/training/experience and certificate/license under Qualifications. But we already have them under Requirements; we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we split: Requirements = physical demands and special requirements (outside duty, flexible scheduling). Qualifications = education, training, experience, certificate/license. Skills = knowledge, skills, abilities list. That seems logical. Thus: About the role: summary description. Responsibilities: list of duties (as above). Requirements: physical demands + special requirements (outside duty, flexible scheduling, change of location/program). Could also include "Must be able to accommodate flexible scheduling and change of location and/or program, as needed." and "Outside duty may be required." Also "Continues planned instructional activities during teacher's temporary absence from the classroom." Actually that is a duty but we could keep under Responsibilities. We'll keep it under Responsibilities. Qualifications: education, training, experience requirements (Associate's degree required, Bachelor's preferred, coursework, experience options, ParaPro assessment, etc.) plus certificate/license: None. Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities list (knowledge of child development, instructional strategies, ability to assist with implementation, ability to exhibit patient behavior, ability to follow instructions, ability to communicate effectively, ability to read/write/speak English, ability to interact with and support students with special needs, knowledge of standard computer hardware/software such as Google Workspace, MS Office and web-based instructional tools, knowledge of or ability to quickly learn and meet the seven core competencies of the Supporting Services Professional Growth System (SSPGS)). Benefits: link to Google Drive file (we can phrase as "Benefits information available at: link" but we must use

    for prose; we can embed inside

    . That's okay. Pay: wage range $26.23 to $40.17 per hour, based on years of service. Schedule: Part-time, Working Months 10, Shift Day, plus mention flexible scheduling and outside duty may be required (but we already have that in Requirements; maybe we keep schedule section just with part-time, working months 10, shift day). The posting also says "Schedule Part-time Working Months 10 Shift Day". We'll include that. We must not repeat job title. No headings for Job ID etc. Now produce HTML fragment. We need to ensure we use

    for each section heading. Inside sections, use

    for prose,

    • for lists. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's craft each section. About the role:
