We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into 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. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to extract content: The posting includes a quote, description, responsibilities, what you will be doing, what you won't be doing, key responsibilities, basic requirements, benefits, nice-to-have requirements, about alpha, working with us (compensation, schedule). Also location list. We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (description), "Responsibilities" (what you will be doing + key responsibilities), "Requirements" (basic requirements + nice-to-have?), "Qualifications" maybe same as requirements? But we should avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one "Requirements". Benefits separate. Pay separate (they gave compensation $120k/year, weekly). Schedule separate (full-time, on-site, five days a week). Could also have "Location" maybe not required but could be part of About the role? Not a required heading; we can include location in About the role paragraph. We must not create sections with filler. So we need to ensure each section has substantive content. Let's extract: About the role: The initial paragraph describing the role, quote, hardest part, etc. Also mention Alpha opening campuses, etc. Also mention "Your resume will not decide this..." etc. Also mention "This is a full-time, on-site role, five days a week, at an Alpha campus." Also location list. Responsibilities: "What You Will Be Doing" bullet list (coaching students..., running short structured-literacy sessions..., leading morning launch..., driving students..., staying with your students...). Also "What You Won’t Be Doing" maybe also responsibilities but could be separate? Could include as part of responsibilities but maybe separate "What you won't be doing" could be under Responsibilities as a list of exclusions. However we need to avoid duplication. Could combine both as responsibilities (what you will do) and maybe a separate "What you won't be doing" but that might be thin. Could incorporate into responsibilities as a note. Key Responsibilities: "Get every K-3 student to their daily learning goals, and close the reading gaps stopping them from getting there alone." That's a responsibility. We could have a single Responsibilities section that includes both the bullet list and the key responsibility statement. Requirements: Basic Requirements list (willing to work on-site, at least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9, at least 2 years teaching reading K-3 within last 5 years, completed structured-literacy training list, bachelor's degree, comfortable spending 90% day guiding students, willing to work with all K-3 students, legally authorized). Also Nice-to-have Requirements list (held six-year-old's attention..., kept tired children..., parents asked for you..., experience with reading platforms..., you can name a child whose decoding you fixed...). Could combine into Requirements section with two sub-lists: Required and Preferred (nice-to-have). But we must not create thin sections; we can have one Requirements section with both required and preferred bullet lists, maybe label them with or within

    . However we must use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have two
        inside the section: one for Required, one for Preferred, each preceded by a

        describing. Benefits: "Benefits and other compensation. Health coverage (medical, dental, vision), life and disability insurance, voluntary benefits, tax-advantaged FSA, HSA, and commuter accounts, and a 401(k). Paid time off and parental leave. A one-time relocation allowance." Also maybe "immediate access to benefits". Also "All roles are year-long positions." That's more about employment type. Could be part of Benefits or separate. Pay: "The compensation level for this role is $120,000 USD/year. The payment period is weekly." Also maybe "Education work that pays like it matters: Alpha offers six-figure roles..." but we have specific. Schedule: "This is a full-time, on-site role, five days a week, at an Alpha campus." Also "Working with us This is a full-time, W2 employee position..." Already covered. We also have location list: "Current Openings CA - Beverly Hills, Malibu, Palo Alto, Piedmont, San Francisco, Santa Monica, and South Bay (Los Angeles) CT - Greenwich IL - Chicago MA - Boston NY - New York City WA - Seattle". Could be included in About the role or a separate "Locations" section but not required heading; we can embed in About the role. We must not include boilerplate like "Hit the Apply button if you found this interesting..." etc. Also remove "Working with us This is a full-time, W2 employee position with immediate access to benefits (link)... All roles are year-long positions. The compensation level for this role is $120,000 USD/year. The payment period is weekly. Consult www.crossover.com/help-and-faqs for more details on this topic. Crossover Job Code: LJ-5632-US-Boston-LearningCoach.002". We need to keep substantive info: compensation, payment period, full-time W2, year-long positions. The link and job code maybe minor metadata; we can fold into short

        or drop. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it." So we can include a short

        with "Compensation: $120,000 USD/year, paid weekly. Full-time W2 position, year-long." Possibly also mention location list. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

        Learning Coach. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

        About the role

        ... (quote and description, location list, etc.)

        Responsibilities

        • Coaching students through app-based core learning: spotting who is stuck, asking the question that unblocks them, holding the daily goal.
        • Running short structured-literacy sessions with two to four students.
        • Diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed, and checking for transfer.
        • Leading morning launch, life-skills workshops, and check-chart activities that keep six-year-olds moving.
        • Driving students to their weekly app goals with school currency, leaderboards, and gamification.
        • Staying with your students through lunch, recess, and closing, meeting frustration and refusal with a plan for that child.

        Key responsibility: Get every K-3 student to their daily learning goals, and close the reading gaps stopping them from getting there alone.

        Required:

        • Willing to work on‑site at a campus listed above, with relocation support.
        • At least 3 years working directly with children ages 4‑9: teaching, coaching, tutoring, camps, youth programs, children's theater, or similar settings where kids showed up because of you.
        • At least 2 years of that experience teaching reading in grades K‑3, within the last 5 years.

        • Bachelor's degree in any subject. A teaching certificate is not required.
        • Comfortable spending about 90% of your day guiding students through app‑based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and 10% on reading sessions.
        • Willing to work with all K‑3 students, not only struggling readers.
        • Legally authorized to work in the US without visa sponsorship.

        Preferred (nice‑to‑have):

        • You held a six‑year‑old's attention with nothing but your energy and an engaging activity.
        • You kept tired children coming back to an after‑school reading program.
        • Parents asked for you by name.
        • Experience with reading platforms (Amira, Lexia, i‑Ready) or diagnostic assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb).

        $120,000 USD per year, paid weekly.

        Schedule

        Full‑time, on‑site, five days a week at an Alpha campus.

        We might also include a short paragraph about employment type: "Full‑time W2 employee, year‑long position." Could be added to Pay or Schedule section. Perhaps add to Pay section: "

        $120,000 USD per year, paid weekly. Full‑time W2 position, year‑long.

        " We must not include any filler like "commensurate with experience". We have none. Check for duplication: We included responsibilities bullet list and key responsibility separate. That's fine. Check for any boilerplate removed: We removed quote attribution? The quote is part of description; we can keep it in About the role. We need to preserve ALL substantive information. Did we miss any? Let's review original text: - Quote: "The sheer amount of time I get back from not having to make daily lesson plans and grade papers is huge." — Katie, Lead Guide, Alpha Denver - "Alpha is hiring. The hardest part of this job is not teaching. A six-year-old will be stuck in front of you, frustrated, and the right move is almost never to give them the answer. You are with the same students all day. Morning launch, core learning on the apps, lunch, recess, life-skills workshops, closing. You will know which one is faking fluency by Tuesday. And when you find the gap, you do not wait for a referral or a committee. You pull two to four students, teach the fifteen-minute sequence you built for that gap, and watch it close. The apps carry core instruction, so you are not writing lesson plans for twenty-four children at eleven at night. You decide who needs you and what will move them, and you hold the daily goal without lowering it. "She's doing fine" is not an answer here; parents see weekly data and will ask you to name the gap. Alpha is opening campuses across the country. The people who prove they can do this help hire and train the ones who come next, and write the curriculum standards other campuses follow. Some move into a lead role coaching that team
