Lead Teacher

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role (or About This Job?), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills maybe, Benefits, Pay, Schedule only if present. The posting includes: Brief Description, About This Job, Job Duties And Responsibilities, Required Qualifications (Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills), Preferred Qualifications (Bilingual English-Spanish), Core Values/Ethical Conduct (maybe part of Requirements?), Working Here (benefits). No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. We need headings:

for section headings e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine similar: maybe "About the role" from About This Job. "Responsibilities" from Job Duties And Responsibilities. "Requirements" could contain Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills. "Preferred Qualifications" maybe part of Requirements or separate? Could be "Preferred Qualifications". "Skills" maybe from Knowledge/Skills but we already have that. Could combine. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: equal opportunity employer line etc. Also remove "Brief Description" maybe not needed as heading? It's just a brief description; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. We need to not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. So we will have:

  About the role

  ... (from Brief Description and About This Job)

  Responsibilities

  • ... each duty

  Requirements

  maybe split into Education, Experience, Knowledge/Skills as subheadings? But only allowed headings are those listed; we could still use

  for subheadings? The instruction: use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those as examples. Safer to stick to those. Could have

  Education

  etc but that's not in list; maybe better to combine into Requirements section with paragraphs and lists. We can do:

  Requirements

  Education: ...

  Experience: ...

  Knowledge/Skills: ...

  But that uses strong tags not prohibited. Could also use
  for each. Preferred Qualifications: maybe as

  Preferred Qualifications

  but not in list; but we could include as part of Requirements or separate. The instruction says use those headings as examples; we can add others if needed but better to stick to list. However Preferred Qualifications is substantive; we could include under Requirements as a paragraph. Core Values/Ethical Conduct: maybe also part of Requirements or separate section like "Core Values". Not in list but we could incorporate into Requirements. Benefits: we have details; we should create

  Benefits

  with
  • ... each benefit
  . No Pay or Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like equal opportunity employer line. Let's extract content. Brief Description: "Signal Centers has been named one of the best employers to work for in TN and one of the best nonprofits to work for in the nation. Come see why people love working here!" About This Job: "As a Lead Teacher, you inspire young minds and shape foundational learning experiences. You create a nurturing and dynamic classroom environment where every child thrives.

Join us in our mission to create a community of lifelong independence, where your contributions are valued, and your professional growth is nurtured. Together, we can make a difference." We should keep that as prose maybe under Benefits or separate section? Could be part of Benefits description but it's more about culture. Could create a section "Culture" but not in list. Might be okay to include as paragraph under Benefits or as separate

  Culture

  but not in allowed list. Safer to incorporate into Benefits section as prose after list. We must not include EEO line. Now construct HTML. We'll have:
