Middle School ELA Teacher (Immediate)

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. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Salary Range: BA Scale $56,171-$92,970 | MA+ Scale $61,909-$100,974 - About KIPP Nashville Public Schools: description paragraph. - Job Description: "Day in the life" responsibilities will include, but are not limited to: then bullet list of responsibilities (Curriculum Development and Instruction, Commitment to School and Classroom Culture, Family Engagement, Growth Mindset). Each bullet has subpoints. - Qualifications: Required Experience: Valid Tennessee teaching license OR proof of enrollment in a job-embedded Educator Preparation Program; Conferred Bachelor’s degree; Pass Criminal Background Check. Desired Qualities: list. - Additional Information: Compensation and Benefits: Starting salary for first year teachers begins at $55,070; those with a conferred advanced degree begins at $60,695. Salary is commensurate with experience. Staff members receive up to a 2% yearly raise. To establish consistent salary practices, the compensation package is derived from the regional KIPP Nashville Public Schools pay scale. This position is exempt and will follow a 10-month work schedule. Robust benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability, supplemental insurance, and life insurance policy options. Application for these benefits may be made immediately upon employment. The policy is effective upon the first of the month following the first day of work. Certificated staff have access to the Tennessee Consolidated Retirement System pension plan (TCRS). Eligible employees contribute 5% and KIPP matches up to 6%. Employees may also be eligible for 401k in which KIPP will contribute 5%.

Master teachers receive a $5,000 stipend and $2,000 towards professional development. - Application instructions: Apply online at ... Please contact recruiting@... with any questions. KIPP Nashville is an Equal Opportunity Employer... All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines. We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, contact info? The instruction says: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should remove the EEO statement and application instructions (the "Apply online at ..." and contact email). Also remove duplicated lines (maybe none). Keep substantive info. We need to decide sections: We have About KIPP Nashville Public Schools (could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization"? The instruction says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map: - About the role: maybe the description of KIPP Nashville Public Schools? Or we could have "About the role" summarizing the job? The posting includes "Job Description" with responsibilities. Could treat "About the role" as the paragraph about KIPP Nashville Public Schools (mission, values). Or we could have "About the role" as a brief summary of the position (maybe not present). But we have a paragraph about KIPP Nashville Public Schools; that seems appropriate for "About the role" (or "About the organization"). - Responsibilities: the bullet list under "Day in the life" responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe the "Required Experience" and "Desired Qualities"? Could be "Qualifications" section. The instruction includes "Requirements" and "Qualifications" as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. We have both Required Experience and Desired Qualities. Could combine into "Qualifications" section with subpoints. Or we could have "Requirements" for required, and "Qualifications" for desired. But instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into one "Qualifications" section covering both required and desired. - Benefits: we have robust benefits package details. Could be a "Benefits" section. - Pay: we have salary range and starting salary details. Could be a "Pay" section. - Schedule: we have "10-month work schedule". Could be a "Schedule" section. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". That phrase appears in salary description; but we can still have Pay section with actual numbers. The phrase "Salary is commensurate with experience." is somewhat filler but we can include it as part of prose; it's not a heading alone. It's okay. We must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It does state them, so okay. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We need to use

  for section headings. Use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

    for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to remove duplicated lines. Let's check for duplicates: The paragraph about KIPP Nashville appears once. The responsibilities list appears once. The qualifications appear once. The compensation and benefits appear once. We need to ensure we don't include application instructions or EEO. Now craft sections. Potential sections:

    But note: The instruction says use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists, but we could flatten. However, the responsibilities are grouped under headings; we could keep them as top-level list items with sub-bullets. That's okay. Alternatively, we could make each responsibility a top-level
    • and inside include
      for subpoints. That's fine.
