Guidance Instructional Specialist, Senior - Fort Washington Elementary School, Inside/Outside (Substitutes May Apply), 2026/27 SY

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes: Summary Job Description / Essential Elements (about role). Essential Duties And Responsibilities (responsibilities). Qualifications (knowledge and skills, abilities, education and experience, licenses and certificates). Also there is a "Requirements / Qualifications" section (some overlapping). Additional Qualifications etc. There's no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should not include those headings. Also we should not repeat job title. We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO statement, application instructions (like attach letters, etc? Actually those are part of requirements; they are substantive? The instruction says remove application instructions. The posting includes "Additional Qualifications At least five (5) years public or private classroom teaching experience or equivalent Applicant Must Also, Electronically, Attach The Following Minimum Requirements ..." That's application instructions (what to attach). According to rule: remove application instructions. So we should drop that list of required attachments. Also drop the "Comments And Other Information" EEO boilerplate. Also drop any duplicated lines. We need to keep the substantive content: summary, essential duties, qualifications (knowledge and skills, abilities, education and experience, licenses and certificates). Also maybe "Requirements / Qualifications" about Administrative Services Credential etc. That's also part of qualifications. We'll combine. We need to use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide sections: About the role (summary). Responsibilities (essential duties). Qualifications (knowledge and skills, abilities, education and experience, licenses and certificates). Possibly also a separate "Requirements" for the Administrative Services Credential requirement? But that's part of qualifications. Could combine. We must not create sections with filler. So we will have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications. Now we need to extract content. Summary: "To assist the site administrator in the organization and administration of the school. To assist district administration in key leadership projects." That's the summary. Responsibilities: list of duties. We'll turn each sentence into

• . Need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract bullet points from the "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" paragraph. Paragraph: "Assumes appropriate designated duties in collaboration with and in the absence of the site administrator(s). Assists the site administrator(s)in the organization, management, and administration of the school in the following areas: Implementation of the school and District’s instructional program(s). Determination of school and community needs as they relate to the instructional program.Coordination of all auxiliary services within the school.Supervision, counseling, and discipline of students.Coordination of any additional school activities assigned by site administrator(s). Assists the site administrator(s) in establishing effective interpersonal relationships among the members of the school community, staff, and student body. Assists the site administrator(s) in communicating school and District goals, procedures, and objectives to the community, staff, and student body. Assists the site administrator(s) in obtaining the involvement of staff, students, parents, and community in establishing school goals. Assists the site administrator(s) in providing leadership and guidance in adjusting the school’s program and procedures to the requirements of the individual student’s needs. Assists the teachers in effective methods of motivating good behavior and maintaining discipline. Provides student guidance services as needed. Maintains preventative discipline, attendance, guidance, and academic files as appropriate. Screens Student Study Team referrals and initiates appropriate action as needed. Assists with the development, coordination, and supervision of student activities. Confers with student, parents, teachers, and agencies as needed. Assists with early intervention strategies for students with special needs. Assists the site administrator(s) in conducting informal and formal classroom observations of teachers. Assists the site administrator(s) in preparing and administering performance appraisals of classified and certificated staff. Assists the site and District administration in key leadership projects including curriculum development, assessments, data analysis, personnel, budgets, and staff development. Performs other duties as may be assigned by the site and/or District administrator(s)." We need to split into list items. Could keep each sentence as
• . Ensure we keep all details. Now Qualifications: includes Knowledge and Skills, Abilities, Education and Experience, Licenses and Certificates, plus the "Requirements / Qualifications" about Administrative Services Credential and plan to complete. Also "Additional Qualifications At least five (5) years public or private classroom teaching experience or equivalent" but that's part of qualifications; but also it's part of application instructions? Actually it's a qualification requirement. We'll keep it as part of qualifications. We need to remove application instructions like attaching documents. So we will not list the attachment requirements. Thus qualifications content: Knowledge and Skills: - Requires knowledge of organizational principles and practices. - Must have knowledge of laws, Board policies, rules, and regulations that pertain to student discipline, attendance, and transfers. - Must demonstrate strong organizational skills, principles, and practices. - Requires knowledge of appropriate grade level curricula, resources, and instructional practices. - Requires knowledge of appropriate classroom management strategies. - Must demonstrate knowledge of State testing requirements and procedures. - Requires knowledge of guidance and counseling objectives, principles, and procedures. Abilities: - Requires the ability to implement the school instructional program. - Must be able to establish and maintain effective relationships with staff, students, parents, and the public contacted in the performance of duties. - Requires the ability to identify and determine the basic nature of students’ problems and needs, evaluate their relative urgency, and take action to alleviate the problems. - Must be able to supervise the work of subordinate personnel and develop and conduct appropriate staff development meetings. - Must be able to conduct informal and formal classroom observations of teachers. - Must be able to speak clearly to articulate a message to both small and large groups. - Requires the ability to write effectively to produce letters, documents, and newsletter articles,. - Must be able to assist site and District administration in additional administrative duties related to key leadership projects. Education and Experience: - Requires a Bachelors Degree and demonstrated leadership qualities and potential through participation in such activities as school management, student discipline, committee work, and/or special projects outside of the classroom. - Three years of successful public or private teaching experience and/or equivalent service is required. Licenses and Certificates: - A valid California K-12 teaching credential, a valid Administrative Services Credential, and a valid California Drivers License are required. - A Masters Degree is desired. Additional Qualifications (maybe separate): - Applicants interested in the position must possess or be eligible for a California Public School Administrative Services Credential. - If applicant is not in possession of a valid Administrative Credential, a Plan to Complete Preliminary Administrative Form must be attached with this application. (But that's application instruction; we should remove? It's about attaching a form; it's still a requirement but it's an instruction to attach. The rule says remove application instructions. This is about attaching a form; it's similar to the attachment list. I'd say remove it as it's an instruction. However the requirement to possess or be eligible for the credential is substantive; we keep that. The plan to complete is conditional; but it's still an instruction to attach. Safer to remove the sentence about attaching the plan. Keep only the requirement to possess or be eligible. - At least five (5) years public or private classroom teaching experience or equivalent (this duplicates earlier? Actually earlier said three years; this says at least five years. It's a higher requirement; we keep both? Might be contradictory but we preserve as given.) We also have "Additional Qualifications At least five (5) years public or private classroom teaching experience or equivalent". We'll keep as a qualification. Now we need to format as HTML. We'll have:

  Responsibilities

  • Assumes appropriate designated duties in collaboration with and in the absence of the site administrator(s).
  • Assists the site administrator(s) in the organization, management, and administration of the school in the following areas:
  ... but we need to break down the following areas into separate items? The sentence includes a colon then list. Could keep as one item but better to split each area as separate
  • . However the instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should treat each duty as a list item. The sentence "Assists the site administrator(s)in the organization, management, and administration of the school in the following areas:" is a lead-in; we could make it a list item then sublist? But we cannot nest? Could just make each area as separate
    • . We'll parse the areas after colon: Implementation of the school and District’s instructional program(s). Determination of school and community needs as they relate to the instructional program. Coordination of all auxiliary services within the school. Supervision, counseling, and discipline of students. Coordination of any additional school activities assigned by site administrator(s). Then continue with other duties as separate items. Thus we will produce list items for each distinct duty. Let's enumerate: 1. Assumes appropriate designated duties in collaboration with and in the absence of the site administrator(s). 2. Implementation of the school and District’s instructional program(s). 3. Determination of school and community needs as they relate to the instructional program. 4.

      list of all qualification items. But we could group with

      ? Not allowed; only

        Qualifications

        Knowledge and Skills:

        Actually we can't nest

        . Or we can have

        . That's okay.
