We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Salary: $100,000/year salaried, paid weekly. - Benefits: day-one health, dental, and vision benefits. - Schedule: 40 hours/week, five days a week, on-site at one Alpha campus, with relocation support. - Role description: many paragraphs about responsibilities, what you will be doing, what you won't be doing. - Requirements: Basic Requirements list (willing to work on-site, relocation support, at least 3 years working directly with children ages 4-9, at least 2 years of that experience teaching reading in grades K-3 within last 5 years, completed structured-literacy training list, bachelor's degree, comfortable spending about 90% of day guiding students through app-based learning, workshops, and campus routines, and 10% on reading sessions, willing to work with all K-3 students, legally authorized to work in US without visa sponsorship). - Nice-to-have Requirements list. - About Alpha: description. - Working with us: full-time W2 employee position with immediate access to benefits, all roles year-long positions, compensation level $100,000 USD/year, payment period weekly. (We already captured salary and benefits.) - Locations: Current openings: AZ - Phoenix and Scottsdale; TX - Dallas, Fort Worth (Keller), Plano, and The Woodlands; UT - Park City (Salt Lake City). Also note they recruit nationally, job boards may display role in nearby cities that do not have a campus. Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway, name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening. We need to produce sections: maybe About the role (overview), Responsibilities (What You Will Be Doing, What You Won’t Be Doing), Requirements (Basic Requirements, Nice-to-have), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly Qualifications (could combine Requirements). Skills maybe from nice-to-have. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We must not repeat job title. Not include Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. We'll produce something like:

About the role

...

Responsibilities

  • ...
  • ...
Maybe split responsibilities into two lists: What You Will Be Doing and What You Won’t Be Doing. Could combine.

Requirements

    ... Basic Requirements ...

Nice-to-have

    ... Nice-to-have ...

Benefits

  • Day‑one health, dental, and vision insurance

Pay

$100,000 per year, paid weekly.

Schedule

40 hours per week, five days per week, on‑site at an Alpha campus (relocation support provided).

We also might include Locations as part of About the role or separate? Not required heading but could be included in About the role paragraph. We must preserve all substantive info: include description of Alpha's model, the work with students, etc. Let's craft About the role paragraph summarizing: Alpha reimagines school day, students finish academic core in ~2 hours via AI-adaptive apps, rest of day on life-skills workshops, adults called Guides, you stay with same students launch to closing, diagnose gaps, run short workshops, etc. Also mention that you are not delivering content, you ensure students do the work, want to do it, get unstuck. Also mention that you will know which student is faking fluency, etc. Also mention that you will pull 2-4 kids for 15-min workshop, etc. Also mention that you are not writing plans for two dozen children at 11 pm, planning is narrow diagnostic. Also mention that you hold daily goal, parents see weekly data, etc. Also mention that Alpha opening campuses, bottleneck is people who can do this well, proven ones help hire/train Guides, some move into lead role coaching a team. Also mention that resume won't decide, if what makes you good hasn't fit on paper, that's the point. Also mention locations and that they recruit nationally. We'll embed that in About the role. Responsibilities: list from "What You Will Be Doing" and "What You Won’t Be Doing". Could separate but we can combine into one list of responsibilities (what you will do) and another list of what you won't do maybe as a separate section "What you won’t be doing". But headings only allowed for specific headings list; we could add a heading "What you won’t be doing" but not in allowed list. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says e.g., not exhaustive, but we should stick to those. Better to put "What you won’t be doing" under Responsibilities as a note or separate bullet list with a preamble. Could add a

preceding list: "You will not be asked to:". Thus Responsibilities section can have two sub-lists: what you will do and what you won't do. Requirements: we can have Basic Requirements list and Nice-to-have list maybe under Requirements or separate Skills. Since Skills heading allowed, we could put nice-to-have under Skills. Requirements heading for basic requirements. Let's do:

Requirements

    ... basic requirements ...

Skills

    ... nice-to-have ...
Benefits, Pay, Schedule as described. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, cookie, navigation, application instructions. We removed "Hit the Apply button..." etc. We must not include duplicated lines. Now produce HTML. Check that we didn't invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's ensure we captured all details: From posting: - Quote: "I got my time back, and I still get to be passionate and work with students." — Christie, former school principal, now Alpha Reading Specialist Alpha is hiring. $100,000/year salaried, paid weekly, with day-one health, dental, and vision benefits 40 hours/week, five days a week, on-site at one Alpha campus, with relocation support - Narrative about miscue, gap, etc. - Description of Alpha model: students finish academic core in about two hours each morning, working independently on AI-adaptive apps — no lectures, no textbooks, no pacing guide. Rest of day on life-skills workshops. Adults called Guides rather than teachers, not a euphemism: you are not delivering content. You are making sure your students actually do the work, want to do the work, and get unstuck when the app can't do it for them. You are with the same students from morning launch to closing: core learning, workshops, lunch, recess, check-chart time. That much contact tells you things a running record won't. By the second week, you will know which student is faking fluency – reading the page smoothly because she memorized it Monday, not because she can decode it. When you find the gap, nothing stands between you and fixing it. No referral, no committee, no waiting for a slot to open. You pull two to four kids and run a fifteen-minute workshop built for that exact error pattern — phoneme-grapheme mapping, blending drills, decodable text, whatever it calls for — check that it transferred, and send them back to work on their own. You are not writing plans for two dozen children at 11 pm at night. Your planning is narrow and diagnostic: who needs you tomorrow, and what will actually move them. And you hold the daily goal without quietly lowering it, because parents see weekly data and will ask you to name the gap. Alpha is opening campuses across the country, and the bottleneck is people who can do this well. The ones who prove it help hire and train the Guides who come next and write the programs other campuses run on. Some move into a lead role coaching a team, where the judgment behind the literacy work becomes the whole job. That path is earned, not handed to you on day one. Your resume will not decide this. If what makes you good at this has never fit neatly on paper, that is exactly the point. - Role: We recruit nationally, so job boards may display this role in nearby cities that do not have a campus. Current openings: AZ - Phoenix and Scottsdale TX - Dallas, Fort Worth (Keller), Plano, and The Woodlands UT - Park City (Salt Lake City) Interested in a different Alpha campus? Apply anyway, name your preferred location, and we will route you to the right opening. - What You Will Be Doing list: Running short structured-literacy workshops with two to four students — diagnosing a phonics or decoding gap from running records and fluency probes, teaching a sequence you designed for it, and checking that it transferred Coaching students through app-based core learning: seeing who has stalled, asking the question that unsticks them, holding the daily goal 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 pitched at their age Staying with your students through lunch, recess, and closing, meeting refusal and frustration with a plan built for that particular child - What You Won’t Be Doing list: This role does not ask you to plan lessons for a full class every night. Your planning is narrow and diagnostic Running a pull-out caseload from a quiet intervention room. Reading groups are roughly a tenth of your week and happen inside the day, not beside it Delivering a published program with fidelity to someone else's scope and sequence Writing IEPs and 504 plans, chasing testing paperwork, or sitting on curriculum committees Handing your students off while you take a prep block. You are with them launch to closing - Literacy Specialist Key Responsibilities: Get every K-3 student to their daily learning goals, and close the reading gaps that keep them from getting there on their own. - Basic Requirements list: Willing to work on-site at one of the campuses 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 Completed structured-literacy training: LETRS, IMSE, Orton-Gillingham, Wilson Reading System, Fundations, UFLI, CERI, Neuhaus, SIPPS, Really Great Reading, or similar; or a master's in reading or literacy 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 - Nice-to-have Requirements list: You can keep a room of six-year-olds engaged with nothing but your energy and a good activity Tired children kept coming back to your after-school or summer program Experience with reading platforms (Amira, Lexia, i-Ready) or diagnostic assessments (DRA, DIBELS, AIMSweb) You can name a specific child whose decoding you
