Benefits: we have a link to benefits info; we can include Benefits section with that link. Schedule: we have full-time, working months 10, shift day. That's specific.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to use for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We need to decide what goes where.
Let's extract:
About the role (summary description): "Under direction of the school principal and special education supervisor, the special education teacher provides direct instruction and instructional support to students with disabilities and works in collaboration with the general education teacher. Monitors and evaluates outcomes for students with disabilities. Assists in the development of Individualized Education Programs (IEP). Physical Demands: As required by the duties and responsibilities of the job."
Also maybe "Special Requirements: Required to attend school meetings, programs, and activities outside the instructional day as mandated by the Montgomery County Education Association agreement. Teachers employed in special education schools or discrete special education service models are required to successfully complete specific courses provided by MCPS. The courses are designed to meet the needs of students with disabilities, particularly courses in behavioral management which include nonviolent crisis interventions. Teachers in these identified schools and programs will be required to support behavioral interventions."
That could be part of Responsibilities or Requirements. Might be better as Responsibilities (duties) and Requirements (special requirements). But we need to avoid duplication.
We have Job Specific Information: Autism resource services program, combination of self-contained and inclusion classes. Wage range. Benefits link.
Knowledge Skills Abilities: list of knowledge and abilities.
Education Training Experience: bachelor's degree, fluency in certain areas, student teaching or two years experience, other combos, certification.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role (summary description)
- Responsibilities (maybe from summary description? but we already used summary for About the role. Could combine.)
- Requirements (special requirements + certification?)
- Qualifications (education/training/experience)
- Skills (knowledge/skills/abilities)
- Benefits (link)
- Pay (wage range)
- Schedule (full-time, working months 10, shift day)
We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. All have real content.
We must not include duplicated lines. We'll need to consolidate.
Let's draft.
Section About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing the role: Under direction of the school principal and special education supervisor, the special education teacher provides direct instruction and instructional support to students with disabilities and works in collaboration with the general education teacher. Monitors and evaluates outcomes for students with disabilities. Assists in the development of Individualized Education Programs (IEP). Physical Demands: As required by the duties and responsibilities of the job.
That's fine.
Responsibilities: Could list duties: providing direct instruction, instructional support, collaboration, monitoring/evaluating outcomes, assisting IEP development, attending school meetings/programs/activities outside instructional day, supporting behavioral interventions, completing specific MCPS courses (behavioral management, nonviolent crisis interventions). Also Autism resource services program: combination of self-contained and inclusion classes.
But some of that overlaps with About the role. However we need to preserve all substantive info; we can split but avoid duplication. Might be okay to have some overlap but better to avoid repeating same sentences. Let's try to allocate uniquely.
About the role: general description.
Responsibilities: list of duties (maybe bullet list). Include: Provide direct instruction and instructional support to students with disabilities; Collaborate with general education teacher; Monitor and evaluate outcomes for students with disabilities; Assist in development of IEPs; Attend school meetings, programs, and activities outside the instructional day; Complete specific MCPS courses (behavioral management, nonviolent crisis interventions); Support behavioral interventions; Work in Autism resource services program (self-contained and inclusion classes).
That seems comprehensive.
Requirements: Special requirements: Required to attend school meetings, programs, and activities outside the instructional day as mandated by MCEA agreement; Teachers employed in special education schools or discrete special education service models required to successfully complete specific MCPS courses (behavioral management, nonviolent crisis interventions); Teachers in these identified schools and programs required to support behavioral interventions; Must meet Maryland State Department of Education certification requirements for Standard Professional Certification I (SPC I) in special education; Certification in a content area desirable.
But some of these overlap with responsibilities. However we can keep them as requirements.
Qualifications: Education/Training/Experience: Bachelor's degree from accredited college/university in special education; Fluent in learning theory, differentiated instruction, developmental reading, child development, applied behavior analysis, and assessment required; Student teaching in specific area of exceptionality or two years teaching experience at level appropriate to assignment (elementary or secondary); Other combinations of applicable education, training, and experience considered; Meets MD SDE certification requirements for SPC I in special education; Certification in a content area desirable.
But certification also appears in requirements; we might combine. To avoid duplication, maybe put certification under Qualifications. Requirements could be special requirements (attendance, course completion, behavioral support). Let's do that.
Skills: Knowledge/Skills/Abilities: Knowledge of MCPS curriculum, MCPS special education program; Thorough knowledge of IEP, learning theory, differentiated instruction, data collection, best instructional practices, research-based reading instruction, multicultural education, assessments; Thorough knowledge in methods of teaching elementary math if seeking elementary position; Knowledge of ESSA 2015, IDEA 2004, state/federal policies related to special education; Ability to provide instructional support; Works well with students with disabilities, teachers, parents/guardians; Ability to appropriately adapt instructional programs and materials; Excellent communication skills; Knowledge of and ability to apply six performance standards for MCPS Teacher Professional Growth System (TPGS).

We need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "Job Special Education Organization North Bethesda Middle School Primary Location Bethesda Schedule Full-time Working Months 10 Shift Day Job Job Posting Sep 17, 2026, 1:04:58 PM".
