Instructional Aide
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections to include based on posting.
Posting includes: Starting Rate: $18 - $20 /hour based on experience (Pay). Environment description (maybe About the role). Responsibilities list. Qualifications Required list. Also mention "Highly skilled in working with children..." etc. Could be Skills. Benefits list. No explicit Schedule. So we include About the role (maybe from first paragraph), Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications?), Skills, Benefits, Pay. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include any that have content. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is copyright line and note about benefit plans may vary. That's likely boilerplate; we should remove it. Also the link and "Learn more about our history..." maybe considered boilerplate? It's promotional but maybe keep as part of About the role? It's a link to learn more; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of posting. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not necessarily those; but it's a promotional link. Might keep as part of About the role? However it's not essential substantive info about the job; it's a link to learn more. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to keep it as part of About the role? But it's not a duty/requirement. It's more like "For more info visit". Could be considered navigation? I'd remove it to keep only substantive job details.
Also the paragraph starting with "Ombudsman Educational Services is a division..." is about company; could be considered About the role? It's descriptive of organization; maybe keep as part of About the role.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the Starting Rate, Environment description, responsibilities list, qualifications list, skills (maybe from qualifications), benefits list.
We need to decide sections:
- About the role: could include the introductory paragraph about environment and mission, plus maybe the company description. Use
for prose.
- Responsibilities: list from "Responsibilities Include:" bullet points (they are separated by periods but we can treat each sentence as list item). We'll create
- for each duty.
- Qualifications: list from "Qualifications Required:" bullet points.
- Skills: maybe extract skills like "Advanced oral and written communication, organization, conflict resolution, multitasking, problem solving, and decision-making ability." etc. Could be part of Qualifications but we can separate Skills section if we have distinct skill list. The qualifications list includes many skill-like items. Might be better to combine Qualifications and Skills? But instruction says we can have both if content. We could put Skills separate: list of skills like "Advanced oral and written communication, organization, conflict resolution, multitasking, problem solving, and decision-making ability; Proficiency in providing motivation and having critical conversations; Solid motivational skills and willingness to be flexible; Ability to think and act quickly..." etc. However that may duplicate content. Safer to keep Qualifications as is and not create Skills unless we have distinct skill list not already covered. The qualifications list includes: "High school diploma or equivalent w/ passage of basic skills test. Associate degree or higher in education or a closely related field of study preferred. Ability to obtain and maintain certification in company approved crisis management training. Licensed currently or in the process of obtaining an educational aide credential preferred. Prior experience providing instruction, guidance and/or support to children; preferably in an alternative, special education and/or behavioral health program setting. Highly skilled in working with children with learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, emotional behavioral disorders and/or other related disabilities. Ability to think and act quickly and calmly in an emergency and make independent decisions. Proficiency in providing motivation and having critical conversations with students that help move them toward realistic goals. Solid motivational skills and willingness to be flexible and adapt to changing priorities and new initiatives. Advanced oral and written communication, organization, conflict resolution, multitasking, problem solving, and decision-making ability. Knowledge of relevant technology including experience with instructional technology, Microsoft Office Suite, database entry and basic office equipment."
That's a mix of qualifications and skills. We could treat that as Qualifications section. For Skills, maybe we could extract a subset like "Advanced oral and written communication, organization, conflict resolution, multitasking, problem solving, and decision-making ability; Proficiency in providing motivation and having critical conversations; Solid motivational skills; Ability to think and act quickly..." but that duplicates. Better to not create Skills section if it would be redundant. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can omit Skills.
- Benefits: list from "Perks and Benefits Include:" bullet points.
- Pay: Starting Rate: $18 - $20 /hour based on experience.
- Schedule: not present, so omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content.
Now format: Use
for each heading. Then content: for prose use

We need to preserve all substantive information: include the environment description, mission statement, etc.
Let's craft About the role prose: Combine the initial sentences: "🚩 Starting Rate: $18 - $20 /hour based on experience 🏫 Environment: Alternative Education Program, Grades 6-12 Ombudsman Educational Services, a growing, dynamic organization with a social mission to offer hope is seeking an Instructional Aide to join our award-winning Alternative Education team and perform meaningful work in a culture that welcomes innovation, encourages creative expression and offers limitless potential for personal and professional satisfaction!

Your dedication will help empower students to reach their full potential, building essential skills and confidence along the way."
But note Starting Rate is also in Pay section; we might not duplicate it in About the role. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can include it in About the role as part of description, but we also have Pay section. Duplication may be okay but maybe better to avoid repeating same info in two places? The instruction didn't forbid duplication, but we should aim to not repeat unnecessarily. However the Starting Rate is a key piece; we can keep it in Pay section and maybe not repeat in About the role. But the About the role paragraph originally includes the Starting Rate and Environment emojis. We could keep the environment description without the Starting Rate. Let's extract: "Environment: Alternative Education Program, Grades 6-12 Ombudsman Educational Services, a growing, dynamic organization with a social mission to offer hope is seeking an Instructional Aide to join our award-winning Alternative Education team and perform meaningful work in a culture that welcomes innovation, encourages creative expression and offers limitless potential for personal and professional satisfaction!
