We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content: Company Description (maybe About the role?), Job Description includes responsibilities etc. Qualifications section present. Benefits: there is info about compensation, 403(b), health, holidays, PD. Pay: "Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience" - that's vague, not specific numbers, but it's still compensation info. The instruction: never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. For Pay, they say "Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience" which is basically placeholder; we should not create Pay section because it's not specific. Benefits: they have specifics: 403(b) match, health coverage, holidays, PD. So we can create Benefits section. Schedule: they mention full-time, 100% on-site, regular work hours Monday-Friday, occasional evening/weekend. That's schedule info. So we can create Schedule section. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Also remove "Click here to learn more..." etc. We need to preserve all substantive info. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need sections: About the role (maybe company description?), Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule. Possibly Skills? Not explicit. Requirements? Could combine qualifications. The instruction: use headings for those categories if content exists. We have Qualifications (required and preferred). We have Responsibilities (the big list). We have Benefits. We have Schedule. About the role could be company description + job description intro. We'll put that as About the role. We must not create sections with filler. Ensure each heading has substantive content. Let's extract content. Company Description: KIPP New Orleans Schools (KNOS) is a non-profit network of 13 college/career-preparatory, public charter schools serving approx 5,000 elementary, middle, high school students, and over 2,000 alumni. ... etc. Also includes mission statement, etc. We'll keep that. Job Description intro: At KIPP New Orleans, we see the gifts... etc. Could be part of About the role. Responsibilities: The responsibilities and essential functions of the role include: then sections Achievement, Hope, Community, Relentlessness, Elevation, Professional & Operational Expectations, plus safety essential functions. We'll need to turn each bullet into

  • . The content is paragraph style with semicolons. We'll need to break into list items. Probably each sentence or clause separated by semicolons can be list items. But we can keep as

    with semicolons? Instruction: Use

    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to convert the responsibilities into a list. We'll create a
        with each major bullet as
      • . Could break by the headings (Achievement, Hope, etc.) but those are headings inside responsibilities. However we cannot add extra headings inside? Not prohibited but we should follow only the allowed headings? It didn't forbid other headings inside sections. But to keep simple, we can make each responsibility area as a
      • containing the description. Let's list: Achievement | Teaching & Learning: - Deliver rigorous, standards-aligned instruction using HQIM; communicate daily objectives and success criteria; check for understanding throughout (cold call, turn & talk, exit tickets). - Plan/adapt units and lessons that build conceptual understanding and fluency; script questions, models, exemplars, and anticipated misconceptions; align tasks and rubrics to the depth of standards. - Use data to drive instruction: analyze daily work, interims, and state assessments; reteach, spiral, and extend; maintain small data trackers that inform tomorrow’s plan. - Differentiate and scaffold using diverse strategies (choice, visuals, language objectives, sentence frames); provide accommodations/modifications with fidelity for students with IEP/504 plans; coordinate with DSS/ESL staff. - Structure purposeful practice—independent work, small groups, centers, and peer discourse—that requires evidence, academic language, and grade-level thinking. - Provide timely, actionable feedback (written and verbal) tied to rubrics; maintain accurate, transparent grades and make-up work systems. - Assessment literacy: design/implement common assessments; ensure item alignment and reliability; use exemplars/anchors for calibration. Hope | Positive Classroom Culture: - Establish safe, joyful routines (entry, materials, transitions, group work) that maximize time-on-task and protect learning time bell-to-bell. - Affirm high expectations and growth mindset; select culturally sustaining texts, problems, and examples that reflect students’ identities and experiences. - Apply school-wide behavior systems consistently and restoratively; use pre-corrections, de-escalation, and restorative conversations; log incidents per policy. - Integrate SEL (explicit skills, mood checks, goal setting) to build belonging, resilience, and self-management; proactively teach replacement behaviors. Community | School Culture & Partnerships: - Model school values and professionalism; meet deadlines; uphold duty coverage (arrival, transitions, lunch/recess, dismissal, testing). - Build strong relationships with students and families via frequent, strengths-based communication; co-create goals and action plans. - Communicate progress (grades, attendance, behavior, reading levels) through scheduled updates and family conferences with translators/interpretation as needed. - Participate in key events—back-to-school nights, IEP/504 and EL meetings, data nights, testing, and community celebrations; support recruitment and retention activities. Relentlessness | Growth Mindset: - Set ambitious goals for student mastery and classroom culture; track progress and publicly celebrate growth. - Welcome coaching (observations, practice-based rehearsal) and implement feedback by the next lesson/cycle; reflect on impact using student work. - Engage in PD and PLCs; contribute artifacts (plans, assessments, student work) that show PD-to-practice transfer. - Collaborate to design/refine common assessments and lead/participate in data meetings that produce concrete reteach plans. Elevation | Belongingness: - Plan and teach for access and rigor for every learner (multilingual learners, students with disabilities, advanced learners, newcomers/SLIFE). - Examine outcomes and discipline data to reduce disproportionality; adjust instruction, grading, and routines accordingly. - Create structures for student and family voice (surveys, feedback circles, classroom leadership roles) and act on insights. - Uphold equitable grading and policies (clear rubrics, opportunities to revise/retake, transparency on late/missing work); ensure materials and displays reflect all students. Professional & Operational Expectations: - Attendance & punctuality: meet school standards; submit PTO/leave per policy; maintain reliable coverage plans. - Compliance & testing: follow IEP/504 requirements; secure test materials; deliver accommodations; complete documentation accurately and on time. - Planning & grading systems: submit lesson plans, assessments, and grades by network deadlines; keep current make-up/retake logs. - Technology & data privacy: use approved platforms (SIS/LMS, gradebook, communication tools); safeguard student data (FERPA); maintain device/inventory accountability. - Safety & reporting: follow health/safety procedures; complete mandatory reporting; participate in crisis drills and supervision routines. In support of KIPP New Orleans Schools' commitment to providing a safe and orderly learning environment, all school-based employees are expected to perform the following essential functions, with or without reasonable accommodation: - Maintain active supervision of students in classrooms, hallways, common areas, and other school settings as assigned to ensure student safety and well-being. - Be physically present and engaged in assigned work locations during the scheduled workday to fulfill responsibilities requiring in-person interaction with students, families, and colleagues. - Respond appropriately to school emergencies and actively participate in emergency response procedures, including but not limited to evacuations, lockdowns, shelter-in-place, reunification, and other crisis protocols. - Support student and staff safety by implementing established behavioral expectations and utilizing de-escalation strategies when appropriate, consistent with district policies and training. - Maintain situational awareness and communicate promptly with school leadership and emergency personnel during safety incidents. - Participate in required safety, emergency preparedness, and crisis response training.

        • . Benefits: Compensation is competitive and commensurate with experience (we might not include as benefit? but it's compensation). However we decided not to create Pay section because it's vague. But we can still mention compensation in Benefits? The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits section is allowed because they state specific benefits: 403(b) retirement plan – KNOS matches 100% of employee contribution up to the first 5% of salary and any bonuses. Vested immediately in 403(b). KNOS employees are eligible for health and wellbeing benefits starting the first day of the month following their Date of Hire.

Schedule: This is a full-time, 100% on-site position; Regular work hours, Monday through Friday, will be established with your supervisor. Occasional evening and weekend work may be required as job duties demand. We'll put as

          maybe. About the role: combine company description and job description intro. Let's craft HTML. We'll output:
