EducationFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Overview Of Position, Essential Functions, Other Functions, Reporting Relationships, Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, Responsibility, Working Environment, Education Typical Qualifications, YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE, Preferred Experience, Certificates & Licenses, Continuing Education/Training, Clearances, Benefits info, Salary Schedule (but no actual salary numbers). We must include sections only if posting has real specific content. We must not include placeholder like "not specified". For Pay/Schedule/Benefits: we have benefits info (Seattle Public Schools benefits administered by HCA under SEBB, eligibility based on hours). That's specific enough to include Benefits section. Pay: there is "Salary Schedule Please find the salary schedule associated with this role and others like it 01" but no actual numbers; that's placeholder. So we should NOT include Pay section. Schedule: not given. So omit.
We need headings: About the role (maybe from Overview), Responsibilities (Essential Functions + Other Functions?), Requirements (Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities + Education etc?), Qualifications (maybe Education Typical Qualifications + YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE + Preferred Experience + Certificates & Licenses?), Skills (maybe part of Required Knowledge...), Benefits (as above). We must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must use
for each section heading.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. Must use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide how to structure content.
Let's extract sections:
Overview Of Position: includes description of position, link to SPS Special Education Dept website (the URL is blank? It shows a colon then space then nothing). We'll keep the sentence but maybe omit the link if empty. It says: "To learn more about our special education service pathways, please follow this link to the SPS Special Education Department website: ." The link is empty; we could keep the sentence but it's not substantive. Probably we can keep the sentence but it's okay. We'll include as paragraph.
Essential Functions: a long list of duties each starting with a verb. We'll put them as
- items.
Other Functions: "Performs other related duties as assigned for the purpose of ensuring the efficient and effective functioning of the work unit." That's a sentence; could be a
or list item. We'll treat as a
.
Reporting Relationships: two sentences. Could be
.
Required Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: includes Knowledge Required..., Skills Required..., Ability Required..., Specific abilities... We'll need to break into sub-sections? The instruction: use
for section headings only. We can have one section "Requirements" and inside we can have paragraphs and lists. We need to preserve all detail. Could use
for prose and
- for lists.
We have Knowledge Required to perform basic math..., etc. Then "Specific knowledge required to satisfactorily perform the functions of the job includes:" followed by a list: Instructional procedures and practices, Age appropriate student activities, Safety practices and procedures, Conflict resolution, Stages of child development/ behavior.
Then Skills Required... then list: Adhering to safety practices, Operating standard office equipment..., Preparing and maintaining accurate records.
Ability Required... then list: Ability to gather and/or collate data; and use job-related equipment. Flexibility is required... Ability is also required... In working with others... Specific abilities required... list: Adapting to changing work priorities, Communicating with diverse groups, Maintaining confidentiality, Working as part of a team, Working with constant interruptions, Ability to key-board; learn to use personal computers. May require the ability to do basic signing.
We'll need to capture all.
Responsibility: paragraph.
Working Environment: paragraph with physical demands etc.
Education Typical Qualifications: list of options (a)-(d). We'll put as
- .
YEARS Of RELEVANT EXPERIENCE: "None specified." That's placeholder; we should not include a section if it's just placeholder. Since it's "None specified." we should omit that heading/experience section.
Preferred Experience: "Experience working with children." That's specific; we can include under Qualifications or a separate Preferred Experience section. The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can have a section "Preferred Experience" with that sentence.
Certificates & Licenses: list items: Valid State of Washington Driver's License or evidence of equivalent mobility, Continuing Education/Training Secure Training, CPR, First Aid, Clearances Criminal Justice Fingerprint Background Clearance. Actually the text: "Certificates & Licenses Valid State of Washington Driver's License or evidence of equivalent mobility Continuing Education/Training Secure Training, CPR, First Aid Clearances Criminal Justice Fingerprint Background Clearance". We need to parse: It seems three items: Valid State of Washington Driver's License or evidence of equivalent mobility; Continuing Education/Training Secure Training, CPR, First Aid; Clearances Criminal Justice Fingerprint Background Clearance. We'll make list.
Continuing Education/Training: Actually that's part of Certificates & Licenses; but there is also a separate "Continuing Education/Training Secure Training, CPR, First Aid". We'll treat as item.
Clearances: maybe separate? But we can keep as list item.
Benefits: "Seattle Public Schools benefits are administered by the Washington State Healthcare Authority (HCA) under the School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB). Click Eligibility for benefits is determined by the number of hours employees are anticipated to work during the school year (September 1 through August 31). Any employee who is scheduled to work 630 hours or more in a year is eligible for benefits." There's a weird "Click". Probably it's a fragment. We'll keep as paragraph.
Salary Schedule: we should not include because no actual numbers.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown.
We'll structure:
About the Role
Overview...
Responsibilities
- ... essential functions items ...
Other Functions: Performs other related duties as assigned...
