We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description, responsibilities, requirements, benefits, pay, schedule. Must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings. Use
  • for lists. Use

    for prose. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, application instructions. Must preserve all substantive info. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must include a section only when posting has real specific content. Must not emit heading with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes: "This is a full-time, on-site role, five days a week, at an Alpha campus." So schedule: full-time, on-site, five days a week. Also "We recruit nationally, so job boards may display this opportunity in nearby cities that do not have a campus." That's location info. Also list of current openings: CA - Beverly Hills, Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and South Bay (Los Angeles); CT - Greenwich; IL - Chicago; MA - Boston; NY - New York City; WA - Seattle. Also "Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway and name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening." That's application instruction; we must remove application instructions. So we should not include that line. Also "What You Will Be Doing" list of duties. Also "What You Won’t Be Doing Here is what this homeroom role does not look like." That's also responsibilities but negative; we can include as part of responsibilities maybe but we need to preserve substantive info. Could include as bullet list under Responsibilities? The instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can list duties (What You Will Be Doing) as
        . Also list of what you won't be doing maybe also as list? It's also a list of duties not to do; could be included as responsibilities but maybe better to include as part of responsibilities but not as a separate section? The instruction: "Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we can have a responsibilities section with two lists: duties and non-duties? Might be okay. But we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should only include sections that have real content. Let's map: - About the role: Could be introductory paragraph describing role, mission, etc. The posting includes: "This is not a school that is replacing teachers..." quote, "Alpha is hiring. The hardest part of this job is not teaching..." etc. Also "Alpha is opening campuses across the country..." etc. Also "Your resume will not decide this..." etc. Also "About Alpha Join the team building school around student growth". That's about the company. Could be About the role or About Alpha. We'll create About the role section with prose summarizing the role. - Responsibilities: list of duties (What You Will Be Doing) and maybe also what you won't be doing. We'll include as
            . - Requirements: Basic Requirements list (willing to work on-site, at least 3 years experience, at least 2 years teaching reading K-3, completed structured-literacy training, bachelor's degree, comfortable spending 90% day guiding students, willing to work with all K-3 students, legally authorized). Also maybe "Nice-to-have Requirements" could be Skills or Qualifications? We'll treat Nice-to-have as Skills. - Qualifications: maybe education? But we already have bachelor's degree etc. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says we can have sections like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. Let's map: Basic Requirements: as Requirements. Nice-to-have Requirements: as Skills. Qualifications: maybe structured-literacy training, master's in reading or literacy? Actually those are in Requirements. Could also include "Bachelor's degree in any subject. A teaching certificate is not required" as Qualifications. But we already have that in Requirements. Might be okay to have Requirements cover all mandatory, and Skills cover nice-to-have. Qualifications could be omitted if no distinct content. But we need to avoid empty headings. So we might not include Qualifications if no distinct content beyond Requirements. However we have "Completed structured-literacy training: LETRS, IMSE, Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, Fundations, UFLI, CERI, Neuhaus, SIPPS, Really Great Reading, or similar; or a master's in reading or literacy". That's a qualification. Could be under Qualifications. But we also have "Bachelor's degree in any subject. A teaching certificate is not required". That's also qualification. So we could put those under Qualifications. Then Requirements could be experience and willingness etc. Let's split: - Requirements: Experience (3 years working directly with children ages 4-9; at least 2 years teaching reading K-3 within last 5 years; willing to work on-site; willing to work with all K-3 students; legally authorized to work in US without visa sponsorship; comfortable spending about 90% day guiding students...). - Qualifications: Education (Bachelor's degree in any subject; teaching certificate not required); Structured-literacy training (list) or master's in reading/literacy. - Skills: Nice-to-have requirements list. - Benefits: list: Health coverage (medical, dental, vision), life and disability insurance, voluntary benefits, tax-advantaged FSA, HSA, commuter accounts, 401(k). Paid time off and parental leave. One-time relocation allowance. - Pay: The compensation level for this role is $120,000 USD/year. Payment period is weekly. - Schedule: full-time, on-site role, five days a week, at an Alpha campus. Also location list maybe could be part of About the role or a separate section? Not in prescribed headings. Could include under About the role as prose. We must not include application instructions, boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "This is not a school that is replacing teachers..." quote? That's substantive; we can keep as prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

            About the role

            ...

            Responsibilities

            • Coach students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal.
            • Run short structured-literacy sessions with two to four students.
            • Diagnose a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teach a sequence you designed, and check for transfer.
            • Lead morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities that keep six-year-olds moving.
            • Drive students to their weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification.
            • Stay with students through lunch, recess, and closing, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child.
            • Do not write lesson plans for a full class each night; planning is narrow and diagnostic.
            • Do not run a pull‑out caseload from a quiet intervention room; reading groups are about a tenth of your week and happen inside the day.
            • Do not deliver a published curriculum or scripted program with fidelity to someone else's sequence.
            • Do not write IEPs, 504 plans, chase testing paperwork, or sit on curriculum committees.
            • Do not slip away to a prep block while someone else covers your students; you are with them launch to closing.

            Requirements

            • Willing to work on‑site at a campus listed below, with relocation support.
            • At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4‑9 (teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, children's theater, or similar settings where kids showed up because of you).
            • At least 2 years of that experience teaching reading in grades K‑3, within the last 5 years.
            • Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.
            • Comfortable spending about 90% of your day guiding students through app‑based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and 10% on reading sessions.
            • Willing to work with all K‑3 students, not only struggling readers.

            Qualifications

            • Bachelor's degree in any subject (a teaching certificate is not required).
            • Completed structured‑literacy training: LETRS, IMSE, Orton‑Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, Fundations, UFLI, CERI, Neuhaus, SIPPS, Really Great Reading, or similar; or a master's in reading or literacy.

            Skills

            • Held a six‑year‑old's attention with nothing but your energy and an engaging activity.
            • Kept tired children coming back to an after‑school reading program.
            • Parents asked for you by name.
            • Experience with reading platforms (Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready) or diagnostic assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb).
            • Can name a child whose decoding you fixed and how.

            Benefits

            • Health coverage (medical, dental, vision).
            • Life and disability insurance.
            • Voluntary benefits.
            • Tax‑advantaged FSA, HSA, and commuter accounts.
            • 401(k) plan.
            • Paid time off and parental leave.
            • One‑time relocation allowance.

            Pay

            The compensation level for this role is $120,000 USD per year, paid weekly.

            Schedule

            Full‑time, on‑site role, five days a week at an Alpha campus.

            We also need to include location list maybe in About the role. Let's add a sentence: "Current openings are in CA (Beverly Hills, Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, South Bay Los Angeles), CT (Greenwich), IL (Chicago), MA (Boston), NY (New York City), and WA (Seattle)." Also mention that we recruit nationally and may display in nearby cities without a campus. Add to About the role paragraph. Let's craft About the role paragraph:

            Alpha is reimagining the teacher role: you will not be writing lesson plans for a full class each night but will diagnose individual reading gaps and deliver short, targeted literacy interventions while guiding students through app‑based core learning, life‑skills workshops, and campus routines. You stay with the same K‑3 students from morning launch through closing, using data to name gaps and close them quickly. Alpha is opening campuses nationwide; current openings are in California (Beverly Hills, Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, South Bay Los Angeles), Connecticut (Greenwich), Illinois (Chicago), Massachusetts (Boston), New York (New York City), and Washington (Seattle). The company recruits nationally, so job boards may list the role in nearby cities without a campus.

            Make sure not to include application instructions like "Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway..." Remove that. Also remove "Your resume will not decide this..." maybe we can keep as part of About the role? It
