Long-Term Substitute, School Counselor
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details: tentative start date, daily work hours, salary, role description paragraphs, essential functions list (each bullet), required qualifications (education, certification, knowledge/skills/abilities, physical requirements, work environment), preferred qualifications (education, communication skills, capability, certification, bilingual, familiarity). Also include "Regular and predictable attendance" appears both in required knowledge/skills/abilities and maybe elsewhere; we should keep it.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to decide how to structure sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: includes role description paragraphs (the role of long-term substitute teacher...). Could also include work year calendar and hours? But schedule separate.
- Responsibilities: essential functions list.
- Requirements: required qualifications (education/training/experience, certification/license, knowledge/skills/abilities, physical requirements, work environment). Might be too much; but we can split: Requirements (education, certification), Skills (knowledge/skills/abilities), maybe Physical Requirements and Work Environment could be under Requirements or separate? The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We can have multiple sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Pay, Schedule. That seems fine.
We need to decide what goes where.
About the role: prose describing role.
Responsibilities: list of essential functions.
Requirements: maybe education/training/experience and certification/license (required). Could also include "Regular and predictable attendance" but that's more skill.
Qualifications: preferred qualifications (education, communication skills, capability, certification, bilingual, familiarity). Could also include "Preferred Qualifications" heading.
Skills: knowledge/skills/abilities (both required and preferred? Might duplicate). But we can put required knowledge/skills/abilities under Skills, and preferred knowledge/skills/abilities under Qualifications? However Qualifications already used for preferred qualifications. Might be better: Requirements = required qualifications (education, certification). Skills = required knowledge/skills/abilities plus physical requirements and work environment? But physical requirements and work environment are not skills. Could be under Requirements as well.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes required education, certification, knowledge/skills/abilities, physical requirements, work environment), Qualifications (preferred), Pay, Schedule.
That seems reasonable.
Let's extract content.
About the role: The role description paragraphs:
"Long Term Substitute Teachers are responsible for practices and behaviors which demonstrate necessary teaching competencies, effective classroom management, positive personal qualities, and other instructional matters. The role of the long-term substitute teacher is to ensure that all students have equal instructional opportunities and to create a classroom environment in which teaching and learning are challenging, dynamic, and comprehensive. The teaching of the essential curriculum of each teacher's discipline is grounded in the understanding that the aim of education is personal growth, the development of individual talents, abilities, and values; the acquisition of knowledge; and the pursuit of understanding."
We can put that in
.

- . For physical requirements list, also
