Jr Lead Teacher

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the University of Denver is a Preschool to Grade 8 school..." That's about the organization. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Position Summary (description of role) -> could be "About the role" or "Position Summary". Use "About the role" heading. - Essential Functions (list of duties) -> "Responsibilities" heading. - Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities -> could be "Skills" heading. - Required Qualifications -> "Qualifications" heading. - Preferred Qualifications -> maybe also under Qualifications? Could combine but we can have separate? The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Required and Preferred under Qualifications with subheadings? But we only allowed

headings; we could have one Qualifications section and include both required and preferred as paragraphs/lists. That's okay. - Working Environment, Physical Activities, Work Schedule -> maybe "Schedule" heading for work schedule; also could include "Benefits" heading for benefits; "Pay" heading for salary range. - Benefits: The University of Denver offers excellent benefits... -> Benefits section. - Pay: Salary range $46,000 - $50,000 -> Pay section. - Schedule: Work Schedule Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. -> Schedule section. - Other metadata like Application Deadline, Special Instructions, etc. Should be removed (application instructions). Also remove EEO boilerplate, etc. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like the description of Ricks Center, position summary, essential functions (list), knowledge/skills/abilities, qualifications (required and preferred), work environment? The instruction says we can drop sections if no real specific content. Work environment details: "Standard office environment. Unexpected interruptions occur often and stress level is moderate to high. Noise level is quiet to moderate." That's substantive; could be part of "Working Environment" but not in the list of allowed headings. Could we include it under a generic heading? The allowed headings list is examples, not exhaustive? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It implies we should use those headings where applicable. Could we add a "Working Environment" heading? Not in the list but maybe allowed as it's a section heading. However instruction: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples; we could still use other headings if needed. But to be safe, we could incorporate working environment details into another section like "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Might be better to create a "Working Environment" heading as it's substantive. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Adding many sections may be thin. But we already have several sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. Adding Working Environment would be 8. Could we merge working environment into About the role? Probably not ideal. Could we merge into Responsibilities? Not really. Could we create a "Work Environment" heading but it's not in the examples; risk of being considered not following instruction. Safer to stick to the given headings and place content accordingly. We have content for: - About the role: includes description of Ricks Center and Position Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions (list of duties). - Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. - Qualifications: Required and Preferred Qualifications. - Benefits: Benefits description. - Pay: Salary range. - Schedule: Work Schedule. We also have "Physical Activities" and "Working Environment". Could we incorporate those into Schedule? Not really. Could we incorporate into About the role? Maybe as part of role description. But they are substantive details about physical demands and environment. Could we add a "Requirements" heading? The examples include Requirements. Could place physical activities and working environment under Requirements. That seems plausible: Requirements could include physical ability to lift 50 lbs, ability to work in front of computer, etc. So we can use "Requirements" heading for those. Thus sections: - About the role (h3) - Responsibilities (h3) - Skills (h3) - Qualifications (h3) - Requirements (h3) (for physical activities, work environment) - Benefits (h3) - Pay (h3) - Schedule (h3) Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

for each heading, then content:

for prose,

• for lists. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details. About the role: - Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the University of Denver is a Preschool to Grade 8 school serving the needs of gifted children since 1984. - Ricks Center offers a progressive model of education focused on developing the intellectual, social, emotional, creative, and physical needs of the gifted child. - Our diverse student body benefits from small class sizes, expert teachers, a wide range of content offerings, an integrated curriculum, and a focus on community, care, and engagement. - Position Summary: The Junior Lead Teacher is assigned to a particular grade level or may be split between grade levels and reports to the Lead Teacher(s).

We'll combine into a list, maybe separate required and preferred with headings? But we only have

  or

  . Could add for required/preferred but not required. We'll just list all items, maybe differentiate with a note. Requirements (physical activities, work environment): - Standard office environment. - Unexpected interruptions occur often and stress level is moderate to high. - Noise level is quiet to moderate. - Ability to work in front of a computer for extended periods of time. - Occasionally required to move about the office/campus. - Ability to push, pull, or lift 50 lbs (already listed in Skills; but we can keep it here as well; but to avoid duplication maybe keep only in Skills. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; duplication is okay if it's in original. It appears in Skills list as ability to push/pull/lift 50 lbs. Also appears in Physical Activities? Actually Physical Activities includes ability to work in front of computer, occasionally move about office/campus. The lift 50 lbs is in Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. So we should not duplicate; we can keep lift 50 lbs in Skills only. For Requirements we include the other physical/work environment items. Thus Requirements list: - Standard office environment. - Unexpected interruptions occur often and stress level is moderate to high. - Noise level is quiet to moderate. - Ability to work in front of a computer for extended periods of time. - Occasionally required to move about the office/campus.
