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. We have content: Annual Salary Range: $65,000-$89,000. That's Pay. Also Benefits: described in "GENEROUS AND COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS" section with list: Health: Medical, Dental, Vision; Student Loan repayment; Retirement Plan contribution; Group Life Plan; Disability Insurance; Generous Parental Leave. Also later "Compensation and Benefits" includes medical, dental, vision; HSA, FSA, pre-tax transit, dependent care; 401K match; student loan repayment contributions (after one year); professional development opportunities; First Year Support Program; Leadership Development Institute; tuition waiver for Certificate Program; staff wellness groups; social events; voluntary groups (DEIB, Staff Ambassador, Peer Mentorship). Also "WORK LIFE BALANCE" includes ten-month school year, 33 days off, generous preparation periods, students dismissed midday each Friday for meetings/plan/prep. Also "EXTRAS": private practice or tutor non-Quad Prep students onsite during after school hours at low-cost reduced rates. Schedule: The posting mentions "Position Type and Expected Hours of Work: This is a full-time exempt position in an educational facility that is open eight hours a day. Teachers ... work ten months out of the year according to the academic calendar (late August to late June). Occasional evening or weekend hours may be required, anticipate at least three of these events throughout the year. In general, though, hours are Monday-Friday 8am - 4pm." That's schedule info. Thus we can have sections: About the role (maybe intro paragraph), Responsibilities (What You'll Do), Requirements (Required Education and Experience, Preferred Education and Experience, Competencies?), Qualifications (maybe combine?), Skills (Competencies), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "The Quad Preparatory School Middle School Mathematics Special Education Teacher Immediate Opening". We should not put that as heading. We need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, vaccination note? The vaccination note is substantive? It's about requirement: "Note that currently, all employees are requested to be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19." That's a requirement/condition. Should we keep? It's not boilerplate? It's a health requirement. Might be considered substantive. However the instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Vaccination note could be considered health policy, not exactly EEO. Might keep? But it's near the end after "Want to learn more...". It's a condition. I'd keep it as a note under Requirements or maybe a separate "Health and Safety" but we don't have that heading. Could incorporate into Requirements as a note. Also the ADA/AAP/EEO Statement at end is boilerplate; remove. Also "Want to learn more about Quad Prep? Connect with us!" is application instruction? It's a call to action; maybe remove as application instructions. The instruction says remove application instructions. So remove that line. Also "Note that currently, all employees are requested to be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19." Might be considered a requirement; keep. Also "In the event of an outbreak..." is legal boilerplate; remove. Thus we need to extract substantive content. Let's outline sections: - About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing mission and school description. Could combine first paragraphs: "At Quad Prep, we are on a mission — to transform the lives of neurodiverse, twice-exceptional people by redefining the experience of school..." etc. Also mention accreditation, community, colleagues, students, deep professional learning. That's substantive. - Responsibilities: "What You’ll Do" bullet list (the expectations). Use

    • . - Requirements: Could include Required Education and Experience, Preferred Education and Experience, Competencies (maybe as Skills). But we have separate Skills heading for Competencies. Let's do: - Requirements: Required Education and Experience, Preferred Education and Experience (maybe as subpoints). Could list as
        . - Skills: Competencies list. - Benefits: list from GENEROUS AND COMPREHENSIVE BENEFITS plus later benefits (HSA, FSA, 401K match, student loan repayment, professional development programs, tuition waiver, wellness groups, social events, voluntary groups, EXTRAS private practice/tutor). Also WORK LIFE BALANCE details maybe under Benefits or Schedule? Could be under Benefits as work-life balance. - Pay: Annual Salary Range: $65,000-$89,000. Also note "Compensation Is Dependent Upon Experience And Degree Obtained." Could include that. - Schedule: Position Type and Expected Hours of Work description. We must not create sections with filler. All have content. Now produce HTML fragment. We need to use

        for section headings. Use
        • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

          for prose. We must not include or . Just fragment. Let's craft. First, About the role: combine mission description. Paragraph: At Quad Prep, we are on a mission — to transform the lives of neurodiverse, twice-exceptional people by redefining the experience of school. Through the collective, collaborative, and empathic work of our teachers and clinicians, we are empowering our students to engage with the exciting and wonderful diversity of this world. Now in our 2nd decade, we are excited to welcome fellow innovators and collaborative colleagues to our team to be a part of this inspiring and impactful mission. At Quad Prep, a New York State Association of Independent Schools (NYSAIS) Accredited School, we are eager to create challenging and engaging learning experiences for our students, to seek diverse perspectives, and to work together to continuously refine and redefine best practices in neurodiverse education. The Quad Preparatory School actively seeks to advance diversity through its programs and hiring. That's prose. Next Responsibilities: heading

          Responsibilities

          then
            with items from "What You’ll Do" and "Expectations of This Position:" plus maybe other duties. List items: - Plan and implement high-quality, engaging mathematics lessons that are differentiated to meet the learning needs of the students. - Regularly assess the students and the curriculum, adapting content and instruction as appropriate; communicating assessment results to parents. - Subscribe to and implement the school’s philosophy of progressive and personalized education for twice-exceptional children. - Collaborate with K-12 mathematics teachers to ensure a vertically aligned mathematics program. - Support students during co-curricular programming that occurs during the school day. - Create and maintain an orderly and aesthetic learning environment that accounts for students’ social, emotional, and executive functioning needs. - Maintain accurate records using both our school’s learning management system as well as carefully managed portfolios of student work to illustrate and record progress and achievement. - Empower students to take charge of their learning by providing all necessary scaffolding, modeling, materials, and resources, and consistently maintaining a high level of expectation for student success. - Collaborate with other academic staff and psychosocial staff members to plan, integrate, and facilitate cross-curricular, inquiry-based projects. - Communicate with parents and guardians to provide feedback on pupils’ academic and social-emotional progress through parent-teacher conferences, written reports, phone calls, and emails. - Follow the professional code and policies of the school and conduct oneself in a way that promotes the mission of the school. - Utilize technology: Veracross student management system, Google Classroom, and Google Suite, in particular Google Calendar, Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets. - Attend all faculty and staff meetings, professional development sessions, and required special events (e.g., Curriculum Night, open houses, parent-teacher conferences). - Perform other duties as assigned. That's a list. Next Requirements: heading

            Requirements

            then
              with Required Education and Experience, Preferred Education and Experience, plus vaccination note maybe. Required Education and Experience: Bachelor’s degree in mathematics, mathematics education, elementary education, special education, or a related field; Experience working with upper elementary or middle school students. Preferred Education and Experience: Experience as an upper elementary or middle school mathematics or special education teacher; Master’s degree in mathematics education, special education, elementary education, mathematics, or a related field; Special education training, including training in the areas of gifted education and twice-exceptional youth; Secondary Mathematics, Elementary Education, and/or Special Education teaching credential; Experience teaching twice-exceptional youth. Also note: Note that currently, all employees are requested to be fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19. Could be a

              after list. We could also include Competencies under Skills. Skills: heading

              Skills

              then
                with Competencies list: - Love for working with pre-adolescents - Desire and ability to work with students with special needs - Knowledge, understanding, and strong interest in mathematics - Ability to connect with pre-adolescents - Lesson planning and the ability to provide engaging and differentiated instruction - Effective oral and written communication - A solid understanding of adolescent academic, social, and emotional development - Attention to detail - Maintaining confidentiality and privacy - Ethical conduct - Time management and the ability to multitask - Teamwork and collaboration - Patience and flexibility Also maybe include "Work Environment" and "Physical Demands" could be under Requirements? But they are not exactly requirements; maybe we could add a section "Work Environment" but not required headings list includes only those; we could add if we want but better to stick to allowed headings. However we could incorporate physical demands into Requirements as a note? Might be considered requirement. But the instruction says use those headings for sections; we can add other headings if we want? It says "use

                for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It gives examples but not exclusive. Safer to stick to those. We can incorporate Work Environment and Physical Demands into Requirements or maybe a separate "Qualifications" section. Qualifications could include work environment, physical demands. Let's do Qualifications heading for those. Qualifications: heading

                Qualifications

                then
                  with: - Work Environment: This job operates in a school setting. The school is located on the fifth and sixth floors of a building with an elevator.
