Instructional Assistant - Special Education, Special Assignment (One-on-One)
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content.
We have position purpose, essential duties, additional duties, work environment, etc. We need to decide sections.
We have no explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule info. There's work week schedule: Monday-Friday (occasional evenings and weekends/ Workday must not exceed more than 40 hours per week and begins at least 30 minutes prior to the instructional day for students.) That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Pay: Not given. So omit Pay.
Benefits: Not given. Omit.
Qualifications: we have Minimum Qualifications, Education, Certification, Preferred Qualifications. Could combine into Requirements or Qualifications. Use Requirements for mandatory qualifications, Skills for KSAs? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have "Position Purpose" could be About the role.
Essential duties and responsibilities -> Responsibilities.
Additional duties maybe also responsibilities.
Minimum qualifications, education, certification -> Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings, we need to differentiate. Usually Requirements = mandatory qualifications, Qualifications = preferred? But we can put mandatory under Requirements, preferred under Qualifications. Skills: KSAs (knowledge, skills, abilities) -> Skills.
Schedule: we have work week schedule.
Thus sections: About the role (Position Purpose), Responsibilities (Essential duties + Additional duties), Requirements (Minimum qualifications, Education, Certification), Qualifications (Preferred qualifications), Skills (KSAs), Schedule (Work week schedule). Possibly also Work Environment? Not a heading option; could be part of Responsibilities or About the role. We'll include within Responsibilities maybe.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. There's none.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
We'll need About the role
then
with position purpose text. Then
Responsibilities
then- each duty. We need to split essential duties and additional duties maybe combine. Essential duties list many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to turn each into
- . Must preserve all info.
Let's extract essential duties sentences:
- Provides support and assistance to teachers in coordinating instructional programs for special education students, including familiarity with student’s IEP; ensures an encouraging, caring, safe, and healthful environment for all students.
- Assists teachers with strategies related to the implementation of students’ behavioral intervention plans.
- Aids teachers with planning and organizing, evaluating instructional activities, developing classroom procedures, and preparing necessary materials; ensures materials for students are readily available according to the needs of the lesson plan.

- Performs other related duties as assigned.
Additional duties (SATA Only):
- Assigned to be a one-on-one instructional assistant to a student who has severe to profound learning disabilities.
- Attends and successfully completes specialized training, as determined by student’s IEP.
We could keep them as separate list items.
Now Requirements section: Minimum qualifications, Education, Certification.
We need to preserve all details.
Minimum Qualifications: (See Education and Training for requirements for TITLE I schools) KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES (KSAs) ... Actually KSAs go to Skills section. So Minimum Qualifications maybe just the statement? It says MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: (See Education and Training for requirements for TITLE I schools ) KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES (KSAs) ... So the minimum qualifications include KSAs? But we will put KSAs under Skills. So Requirements will contain Education, Training, Experience, Certification.
Education: ALL SCHOOLS: High school diploma or GED.
Education, Training, and Experience IF TITLE I SCHOOL: Meet the employment requirements outlined by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), Pub.L. 114-95, AND have one of the following: Six documented semester hours of coursework in early childhood education, OR Two years of work experience in an early childhood setting.
CERTIFICATION AND LICENSE REQUIREMENTS: Maintain a Crisis Prevention and Intervention (CPI) certification and maintain that certification through the proper renewal process, adhering to all timelines; CPI training will be provided through Wake County Public School System (WCPSS), if needed .
We'll put these as
or
- . Probably
- .
Schedule: Work week schedule: Monday-Friday (occasional evenings and weekends/ Workday must not exceed more than 40 hours per week and begins at least 30 minutes prior to the instructional day for students.)
We'll put as
. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "EFFECTIVE DATE: 3/2025 DISCLAIMER: ..." That's boilerplate? It's metadata but not required? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Effective date and disclaimer maybe considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO but could be considered metadata. The instruction says "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Effective date is minor metadata; we could fold into a short
or drop it. Probably drop it to keep concise. The disclaimer also maybe drop. We'll omit. Now construct HTML. We'll need to ensure proper nesting. Let's write:
