K4 Instructional Coach
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it) and do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
Thus we need to extract substantive content: Position Summary (maybe "About the role"), Essential Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities), then many sub-sections like Team Management And Leadership, Curriculum And Assessment Design, Instruction, Planning, & Preparation, Curriculum Development & Implementation, Student Assessment, Classroom Management, Communication & Family Engagement, Professional Development, Collaboration & Teamwork, Records & Documentation. Also there is mention of "Submit a weekly coaching log..." etc.
We need to decide which headings to use. The allowed headings list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content to these headings. The posting does not mention Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule explicitly. It does mention responsibilities/duties extensively. So we can have About the role (position summary) and Responsibilities (list of duties). Possibly also Skills? Not explicit. Could embed skills within responsibilities but not separate heading.
Thus output:
About the role
...position summary...
then Responsibilities
- ... each duty ...
. Need to preserve all substantive information; we must not lose details. The responsibilities list is long; we need to break into list items covering each bullet. The posting includes many bullet-like sentences separated by periods. We need to extract each duty as separate - . Must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to capture each duty statement.
Let's parse the text after "Essential Duties And Responsibilities Roles and responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to:" then a long sentence with many items separated by periods. We need to split at periods that end a duty. However some sentences contain multiple duties combined with "and". Safer to treat each sentence as a duty? But some sentences contain multiple duties separated by commas and "and". The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. If we split incorrectly we might lose nuance. Better to keep each sentence as a list item, preserving the full sentence. That retains all info. Some sentences are long but that's okay.
Thus we will take each sentence after that colon until the next section heading "Team Management And Leadership". Let's extract.
The text after colon:
"Provide modeling of effective instructional techniques and data collection/analysis within PD sessions, co-teaching, staff meetings, and 1:1 conversation with teaching staff.Support the instructional development of all teachers in understanding the CCSS curriculum and varied assessments, the Framework for Teaching, and data analysis.Build strong relationships with teachers, administrators, and other coaches.Provide direction and coordination for how the curriculum is taught, consistent with District initiatives and recognized best instructional practices.Create an articulated schedule with the building administration.Assist teachers in understanding the United Community Center’s mission and core values.Provide technical support to collaborative teams within buildings.Support the onboarding of newly hired staff by providing information on school expectations, lesson plan preparation, professional culture, and curriculum and instructional practices.Recommend professional resources, tools, and materials to teachers that will support and enhance classroom instruction and planning.Support teachers and administrators in using data to improve instruction on all levels.Support with data and assessment coordination (coordination of standardized testing, data discussions with teams, compiling and analyzing data for school leadership and staff)Assist teachers with intentional planning and pacing of lessons, the development of differentiated lessons, and the selection of best practices to meet the needs of their students.Support teachers by helping with share multiple instructional strategies/processes with teachers during planning times.Informally observe (non-evaluative) lessons and provide feedback for a teacher’s professional growth and students’ success.Develop staff members’ knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors through a variety of professional development targeted topics and designs.Develop coaching plans for teachers to ensure student improvement.Utilize Adult Learning Theory to motivate adult learners to improve professional practice.Contribute to the development systems and structures to improve teacher practice within schools.Provide job-embedded informal professional learning beyond the coaching responsibility.Submit a weekly coaching log and any pertinent data requests/coaching documentation to the building principal.Attend summer training sessions and any professional development identified by building and/or district administration.Discuss set weekly instructional goals by building administrators for teachers and assist in designing an observation schedule to provide feedback on teachers’ progress in meeting those goals;Oversee curriculum development and student assessment-related systems;Support special education and ELL inclusion program, monitor the effectiveness of inclusion, and provide feedback and support to create a high-quality inclusion program;Develop and lead instructional professional developmentMonitor academic progress of students throughout the yearEngage in weekly PLC meetings with grade levels and/or subject area teams as determined by the building principal."
Note there are some missing spaces after periods; but we can keep as is.
Now after that, we have "Team Management And Leadership" heading etc. Those are subheadings within responsibilities. Should we create separate sections? The allowed headings limited; but we could still include them as subheadings? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". It doesn't restrict to only those headings, but gives examples. Safer to stick to those headings only. So we will have About the role and Responsibilities only. Within Responsibilities we can include all the duties as list items, preserving the subheadings as part of list items maybe.
Thus we will output:
About the role
The Instructional Coach is a critical lever in improving student achievement. The role of the coach is to build teacher capacity, and their understanding of instructional practices as related to standards-aligned instruction and Data-Driven Instruction. An instructional coach is a learner who models continuous improvement, lifelong learning, and goes above and beyond to ensure student success. All instructional coaches work collaboratively as a team with building administrators and instructional leadership staff. Instructional coaches will promote reflection, provide guidance and structure where needed, and focus on strengths, collaboration, and common issues of concern. They are responsible for ensuring high-quality instruction in classrooms through modeling, co-planning, co-teaching, and providing feedback to teachers. The instructional coach will demonstrate and model a passion for urban education reform and leadership. This is not a supervisory position and does not include evaluation of colleagues. UCC School Staff are dedicated, compassionate, highly effective, reflective, collaborative, culturally responsive, and committed to the academic and social-emotional development of all students.
