Hamilton Int'l Middle - Special Education Assistant (Extended Resource) - 1.0 FTE

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Overview? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to parse the posting. We have Overview Of Position (but that's like description). Could be "About the role". We'll put that as

About the role

with paragraph(s) summarizing overview. Then "Essential Functions" -> could be Responsibilities. Use

Responsibilities

with

• for each essential function bullet. "Other Functions" maybe also responsibilities but we can combine. "Reporting Relationships" maybe not needed as separate heading unless we have content; but not in list of allowed headings. Could be omitted. "Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities" -> could be Requirements or Qualifications and Skills. We need to decide. We have Knowledge Required..., Skills Required..., Ability Required..., Responsibility..., Working Environment..., Education Typical Qualifications..., YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE..., Preferred Experience..., Certificates & Licenses..., Continuing Education/Training..., Clearances..., Seattle Public Schools benefits..., Salary Schedule..., then a series of questions (application instructions) which we must remove. We need to include sections only if real specific content. Benefits: posting mentions "Seattle Public Schools benefits are administered by the Washington State Healthcare Authority (HCA) under the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB). Click Eligibility for benefits is determined by the number of hours employees are anticipated to work during the school year (September 1 through August 31). Any employee who is scheduled to work 630 hours or more in a year is eligible for benefits." That's specific enough for Benefits section. Pay: mentions "Salary Schedule Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01". That's vague, not actual salary numbers. It says "Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01". No actual pay info. So we should NOT include Pay section because no specific pay. Schedule: not mentioned. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine Knowledge, Skills, Abilities, Education, Experience, Certifications), Benefits. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use

    . We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each essential function as separate

  • . Also other functions maybe as
  • . Also reporting relationships maybe as

    (not list). Also required knowledge, skills, abilities: we need to list each bullet as

  • under Requirements? Could break into sub-sections? But we only allowed headings from list; we can have one Requirements section with lists for knowledge, skills, abilities, etc. But we need to preserve detail; we can include paragraphs inside the section for each subcategory. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Remove application instructions (the Yes/No questions). Also remove links like "follow this link to the SPS Special Education Department website: ." (empty). Remove that. Also remove "Overview Of Position" heading? We'll convert to About the role. Let's extract content. Overview Of Position text: "This position is assigned to the Extended Resource service pathway. To learn more about our special education service pathways, please follow this link to the SPS Special Education Department website: . The job of Special Education Assistant/ISE-203 is done for the purpose/s of assisting in the supervision, care and instruction of special needs students in the regular classroom or in a self-contained classroom; assisting in implementing plans for instruction; monitoring student behavior during non-classroom time; providing information to appropriate school personnel; and attending IEP meetings. Special Education Assistant job duties vary according to the school/program needs, i.e., generalist, severe/profound, behavior disorder, hearing impaired, autism, etc." We need to preserve all substantive info. The link is empty; we can drop that sentence or just keep the part before link? The instruction: remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The link is not substantive; we can drop the sentence "To learn more...". Keep rest. Thus About the role paragraph: combine the two sentences. Now Responsibilities: Essential Functions list (many). Also Other Functions: "Performs other related duties as assigned for the purpose of ensuring the efficient and effective functioning of the work unit." We'll include as li. Reporting Relationships: "Reports to building Principal if assigned through staffing formulas. If based centrally, reports to assigned Special Education Supervisor." We'll put as p under Responsibilities maybe separate? Could be its own section but not in allowed headings; we can include as p under Responsibilities. Now Requirements: We have Knowledge Required..., Skills Required..., Ability Required..., Responsibility..., Working Environment..., Education Typical Qualifications..., YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE..., Preferred Experience..., Certificates & Licenses..., Continuing Education/Training..., Clearances..., Benefits (we already have separate). Also maybe "Salary Schedule" but we exclude. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include each of those as list items under Requirements? Could break into subheadings but not allowed. We'll just make a big
    with each item as
    • containing the detailed text. But we must not lose structure; we can include paragraphs inside
    • if needed. Let's extract each bullet: Knowledge Required to perform basic math, including calculations using fractions, percents, and/or ratios; read a variety of manuals, write documents following prescribed formats, and/or present information to others; and understand complex, multi-step written and oral instructions.
