EducationFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually description includes "Description Role Mission:" then "What We Offer", "Compensation", "Other Benefits", "What You Bring -- Competencies", "Qualifications", "Knowledge And Skills", "Responsibilities", "What You’ll Do -- Accountabilities", "About IDEA Public Schools", "Staff Experience". Also "Service Record Requirement" maybe part of qualifications? It's a requirement but not a heading; we can embed in a paragraph under Qualifications or separate? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. We need to decide which sections to include. Likely sections: About the role (mission), Responsibilities, Requirements (Qualifications), Skills (Knowledge And Skills), Benefits (Other Benefits), Pay (Compensation), Schedule? Not present. Also maybe "About IDEA Public Schools" could be "About the organization" but not required. The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose headings that match content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. At end there is "To Apply Please submit your application online through Jobvite." That's application instruction, remove. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include mission description, compensation details, benefits list, qualifications, knowledge and skills, responsibilities, maybe about IDEA and staff experience as separate sections? Could be "About IDEA Public Schools" and "Staff Experience". But those are not in the list of example headings but we can still use

for any section heading; the examples are just suggestions. So we can include headings like "About IDEA Public Schools" and "Staff Experience". However we should prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine About IDEA and Staff Experience into one "About IDEA Public Schools" section that includes both. But they are distinct; still we could include both as paragraphs under same heading. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Compensation is present, so Pay section is appropriate. Benefits present, so Benefits section. Schedule not present, so omit. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, benefits list, qualifications list maybe. We need to use

    for prose. Let's extract content. Mission: "IDEA College Prep Teachers are responsible for ensuring that every IDEA student masters the academic and social skills necessary to succeed in college, while also embodying IDEA’s values daily. IDEA College Prep Teachers set ambitious goals for student achievement and diligently track student data to inform dynamic and effective daily lesson plans. IDEA College Prep Teachers seek feedback and continue to develop their teaching practice to better serve IDEA students. We strive to accomplish goal in two ways: by giving students the chance to experience rigorous and challenging material in high school and by giving them the opportunity to gain college-credit through dual-enrollment, AP, or IB courses." That's prose. Compensation: "The starting teacher salary for 0 years of experience is $59,500. This role is eligible for various stipends based on certifications, credentials, and campus leadership ranging from $500-$4,000 each. We also offer additional performance-based compensation. For more information about our compensation and total rewards, visit our compensation and benefits page." Also "Additional hourly compensation is provided for after-school tutoring or Saturday school as assigned." We'll include that. Benefits: list: "We offer a comprehensive benefits plan, covering the majority of the employee premium for the base medical plan and subsidizing the majority of costs for a spouse/domestic partner and children. Some of the special benefits we offer at IDEA include: Paid Family Leave: Eligible staff may receive up to 8 weeks of paid leave for the birth or adoption of a child, based on their tenure with the organization and caregiver designation. Tuition Reimbursement: Staff members may apply for up to 50% of tuition paid toward a qualifying degree program, up to $5,250 maximum per year subject to manager discretion and budget availability. Employer-Paid Mental/Behavioral Health: 5 face-to-face counseling sessions within a year, unlimited 24/7 telephonic counseling, and other work-life services available at no cost. Other benefits include dental and vision plans, disability, life insurance, parenting benefits, flexible spending account options, generous vacation time, referral bonuses, professional development, and a 403(b) plan. IDEA may offer a relocation allowance to defray the cost of moving for this role, if applicable." We'll make a

      with each benefit as
    • . Qualifications: "Education: Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited four-year educational institution (required) Experience: Experience in a K-12 classroom setting (strongly preferred) Licenses or Certifications: State certification preferred but not required" Also "Service Record Requirement: To ensure compliance with Texas Education Code21.4031 and accurately verify creditable service, candidates selected for this position must submit official electronic service records from previous educational employers. Service records will be used to validate professional experience and determine creditable years of service and compensation, as applicable." Could be part of qualifications. Knowledge And Skills: list items: "Aligned or relevant coursework that indicates experience or exposure to subject-matter content Knowledge of core academic subject assigned and ability to pass a grade level aligned IDEA content assessment Basic knowledge of curricula and instructional practices or implementation Ability to instruct students and manage student behavior Strong organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills Ability to adjust and adapt to a multitude of situations in the school environment" We can make a
        . Responsibilities: list items from "What You’ll Do -- Accountabilities": "Implement state learning standards and IDEA curricula and assessments to meet ambitious academic expectations Learn, master, and deliver content and grade level curriculum, core content objectives, and texts Submit weekly lesson plans two weeks in advance for feedback Implement formal and informal assessments to track each individual student’s progress and learning needs, adjust lesson plans accordingly and update gradebook weekly Communicate students’ progress with student and family on a weekly basis Effective facilitation and personal use of technology as a communication and educational tool to improve student achievement and manage work related tasks. Implement a clear and consistent behavior management system that aligns to campus- wide initiatives while developing students’ character and sense of community in the classroom Help shape and develop a school wide culture that fosters a productive and enthusiastic learning environment for each student Establish and maintain a cooperative working relationship with students and families based on trust, understanding and respect for the communities in which they identify. Host necessary tutoring sessions to meet all students’ needs Participate in weekly manager check-ins, grade-level meetings, before and after-school duties, and school wide meetings and functions Engage in summer and year-long district, school and personal learning and development Minimum of 40+ hours spent at school per week Additional responsibilities may include: after-school tutoring or Saturday school and are based on the needs of our scholars" We'll make
          . Values: "We look for Team and Family who embody the following values and characteristics:" then list bullet points. Could be part of Responsibilities or separate "Values". But we could include as part of Responsibilities or separate section "Team and Family Values". Since we prefer few sections, maybe incorporate into Responsibilities as a paragraph? But it's a list of values; we could make a
            under a heading "Values". However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We could add a section "Values" but that's another heading. Might be okay if we keep sections limited: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, About IDEA (including Staff Experience). That's 7 sections. Adding Values makes 8. Could be okay. But we could merge Values into Responsibilities as a paragraph describing values. However the list is distinct; maybe better to have a separate "Values" section. We also have "About IDEA Public Schools" and "Staff Experience". Could combine into one "About IDEA Public Schools" section with two paragraphs. Thus sections: About the role (mission), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Knowledge and Skills (Skills), Benefits, Pay, Values, About IDEA Public Schools. Check if any content duplicated: "Additional hourly compensation is provided for after-school tutoring or Saturday school as assigned." Already in Pay section. Now produce HTML. We must not include markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Let's craft.
