We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes "ABOUT CPS" and description of district mission. Then "Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher". Under that we have responsibilities etc. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where there is real specific content. We have content: - About CPS: mission, description. Could map to "About the role" maybe? Actually "About the role" heading is for description of role. We have "Under the supervision of the school principal, teachers are responsible for the instruction, progress, tracking, and discipline of all students in assigned classes, and performs other duties as assigned and required." That's responsibilities. Also "Specialty Functions" and "Essential Functions" list duties. - Requirements: Minimum Qualifications & Requirements includes bachelor's degree, CPS online application, valid teaching license with endorsement, physical requirements, employment expectations (residency, onboarding, drug test, background check). Also EEO statement but we should remove boilerplate EEO? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should omit the paragraph about discrimination etc. Also contact info for Equal Opportunity Compliance Office should be removed as it's EEO boilerplate. - Benefits: There's a Benefits section with Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Work-Life Balance. So we should include Benefits section. - Pay: Salary Range given: $64,469.94 to $82,839.39. So include Pay section. - Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit Schedule. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can infer from Essential Functions but better not to create Skills unless explicit. The instruction: only include section when posting has real, specific content. There's no explicit Skills list. So omit Skills. - Qualifications: Could combine with Requirements? The instruction has separate Requirements and Qualifications sections. We have Minimum Qualifications & Requirements. Could split: Requirements maybe the license, degree, etc. Qualifications maybe the endorsement etc. But we have only one block. Safer to put under Requirements (or Qualifications). Since we have both headings possible, we need to decide. The posting includes "Minimum Qualifications & Requirements". That's both. We could put that content under Requirements (or Qualifications). To avoid thin sections, maybe combine into one heading "Requirements". Or we could put under "Qualifications". The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have one section for qualifications/requirements. Choose "Requirements". Then we also have Benefits and Pay. We also have "About CPS" which is about district; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" would be description of the role. We have description of responsibilities etc. So maybe we put the mission description under "About the role". The "ABOUT CPS" is more about the district; but we can treat as about the role context. It's substantive. So include About the role section with that paragraph. Now responsibilities: We have "Specialty Functions" and "Essential Functions" with bullet-like sentences. We need to convert to
  • . We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each duty as separate list item. The text includes sentences separated by line breaks? Let's extract: Specialty Functions: - A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1 - Set goals for the individualized education plan that are achievable and comparable to a student's peers in accordance with the State of Illinois IEP guidelines - Work collaboratively with case managers, counselors, and general education teachers to determine instructional and social needs of students that ensure success while also participating on the multidisciplinary team to promote students' wellbeing Essential Functions: - Within the context of the CPS Framework for Teaching, all teachers should utilize a continuous improvement process that refines his or her teaching practice. - Each teacher should... (then list): - Demonstrate a deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and student knowledge, in order to select learning objectives and design coherent instruction and assessments - Create an environment for effective student learning and growth by establishing a respectful classroom culture with strong management of student behaviors and classroom procedures that promotes and appreciates the cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity of students - Respond to the needs of all students by designing engaging classroom instruction with appropriately challenging questions, communication and discussion techniques, and instructionally aligned assessments - Exhibit excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, and exercise sound, professional judgment especially in interactions with administration, colleagues, families, and students - Prioritize student safety through consistent implementation of the Student Code of Conduct and school wide systems of management and discipline - Personalize student learning through mastery and innovative use of curriculum supplements and technology resources, as available - Advocate for the district’s vision and commit to our district’s common themes of equity, cultural competence, high expectations, developmental appropriateness, attention to individual students (including those with special needs), appropriate use of technology, and student assumption of responsibility Also earlier: "Under the supervision of the school principal, teachers are responsible for the instruction, progress, tracking, and discipline of all students in assigned classes, and performs other duties as assigned and required." That's also a responsibility. We need to include all these as list items under Responsibilities. Now Requirements/Qualifications: We have: - A bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher education - Completion of the CPS online application and teaching profile at cps.edu/teach - A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, with the appropriate endorsement(s) for the role - information on obtaining a valid teacher license can be found at isbe.net/licensure - Physical Requirements Light Work: Exerting up to twenty (20) pounds of force occasionally, or up to ten (10) pounds of force frequently, or a negligible amount of force constantly to move objects. - Employment Expectations As a condition of employment with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), an employee must be an actual resident of the City of Chicago or be willing to become a resident within six months of the date of his/her employment with Chicago Public Schools. For certain high-needs positions, exemptions to this policy may be available. - All new hires must satisfactorily complete all CPS on boarding requirements which include, but are not limited to, passing a tuberculosis test, drug test and state and federal criminal background checks. - CPS is a drug and alcohol free workplace. We should omit EEO boilerplate (the paragraph about discrimination). Also omit contact info for Equal Opportunity Compliance Office. We should keep the physical requirements and employment expectations. Now Benefits: We have a detailed Benefits section with headings: Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Work-Life Balance. We need to output as
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list each benefit item as list items under Benefits section. The text includes subheadings and bullet-like sentences. We'll parse: Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice CPS Is Committed To Providing Comprehensive Health Coverage To Our Employees And Their Eligible Dependents. You'll Have Access To a Variety Of Choices To Best Fit Your Needs Medical Plan Options Pharmacy Dental Vision Behavioral Health & EAP Employee Wellness Program Financial Security: Planning for Today and Tomorrow We understand the importance of financial stability, which is why CPS offers strong retirement and savings options: Basic Life Insurance Life and Disability Insurance Pension Plans Supplemental Retirement Plans (403(b) and 457(b)) Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Spot Pet Insurance Work-Life Balance: Supporting Your Personal and Professional Life CPS values the well-being of its employees and offers competitive paid time off policies: Paid Leave Sick Leave Vacation Days Parental Leaves Short-Term Disability Religious Holidays Leaves We need to preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we should list each of these as list items. However, there are also descriptive sentences before the lists. Those are prose; we can put them in

      within the Benefits section before the list. The instruction: Use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. So we can have a

        for the introductory sentences, then a

          for the list items. Similarly for Responsibilities: we have introductory sentence about supervision; we can put that in a

          then list. Now Pay: Salary Range $64,469.94 to $82,839.39. That's specific; we can put in

          . Now About the role: we have the mission description: "ABOUT CPS: We are an urban district on the rise. The support and resources we provide to our staff enables them to make the greatest difference where it’s needed most. Be a part of the change. Our mission is to provide a high quality public education for every child, in every neighborhood, that prepares each for success in college, career and civic life." That's prose; we can put in

          . Now we must not repeat the job title as a heading. The page already shows it, so we don't add a heading for "Diverse Learners Teacher". Good. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll structure: maybe not required; just headings and content. We'll use

          for each section heading. Order: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. We'll omit Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Now let's craft. About the role:

          About the role

          ABOUT CPS: We are an urban district on the rise. The support and resources we provide to our staff enables them to make the greatest difference where it’s needed most. Be a part of the change. Our mission is to provide a high quality public education for every child, in every neighborhood, that prepares each for success in college, career and civic life.
