MTSS Instructional Coach (TOSA) (.5 FTE) Wilder Elementary School
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. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. Avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". No Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. The posting includes salary info: "Salary Paid per teacher salary schedule with Base contract plus additional contracts for LEAP days, and Responsibility. Additional Technology stipend and Professional Fund. See LWEA salary schedule posted on website." Also benefits: "Full benefit package available for employees working a minimum of 630 hours during the school year. Benefits offered by Lake Washington School District can be found on the SEBB Website Additional information regarding Salary Schedules, Benefits, and Employee Group Agreements can be found here". So we have Pay and Benefits sections. Schedule? Not given. So we should not include Schedule.
We need sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (maybe Skills), Benefits, Pay. Also maybe Qualifications? The posting has Minimum Qualifications and Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Could combine as Requirements and Skills. But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which are present. We have About the role (summary). Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications). Skills (Knowledge, Skills and Abilities). Benefits. Pay. No Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Instructional Coach
. Use About the role
etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities list, we need to convert the essential job functions bullet points into
- . The essential job functions are a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods; we can split into list items each representing a duty. We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to extract each duty as separate bullet. The text: "Supports the instructional growth of teachers through coaching, support and modeling, helping teachers cultivate learning environments that spark students' critical thinking, passion for learning, and academic achievement.Promotes equitable learning experiences for students through coaching, support, modeling and reflective questioning with teachers and staff.Co-facilitates the MTSS-Intervention team, in collaboration with building administrators.Supports teachers and PLCs with the development of skills and processes to provide high-quality, evidence-based instruction using adopted curricular tools and instructional practices.Supports teams in facilitating effective PLCs by providing tools and protocols and fostering effective data analysis and team reflectionHelp teachers, PLCs and MTSS-I team surface, examine, and address disproportionality in student outcomes.Works collaboratively with building administrators to use feedback data from building stakeholders to determine potential professional learning needs and interests.Coaches and supports teachers, helping them to implement:Effective, inclusive and innovative instructional practicesEffective analysis of student dataVibrant and inclusive classroom environmentsCulturally responsive and sustaining pedagogyStudent agency and self-directed learningEffective classroom-based interventionsDifferentiation for students with a constellation of needs and strengths, including targeted supports for students receiving special education services, highly capable classroom-based services, multilingual services, etc.Provides coaching and support for new teachers on a regular basis.Provides research and support for using effective practices which align to The Framework for Teaching and the Washington State 8 Criteria.Provides support to building administrators and teachers as they facilitate professional development for staff, helping to hone learning targets, identify coaching connections and/or facilitate small-group interaction.Engages in regular professional development to deepen coaching practice and instructional expertise.Works collaboratively with key stakeholders from multiple departments, including Accelerated Programs, Professional Learning, Multilingual Services, Special Education, Student Services, Equity, School Support, and Teaching and Learning departments to design and deliver professional learning, gather/connect teachers to resources, and provide instructional guidance and supports aligned with district curriculum and initiatives."
We need to split into sensible bullet points. Could break at each sentence or clause. We'll produce list items each representing a duty. Ensure we keep all info.
Similarly for Knowledge, Skills and Abilities: a long list separated by periods. We'll split into list items.
Minimum Qualifications: list of items separated by line breaks? It's given as bullet-like lines: "Washington State teaching certificateRelated Bachelor's DegreeFive or more years of teaching experienceExperience providing mentorship, coaching and/or leading professional development for peersExperience partnering with administrators and/or educators to shift instructional practices". We'll split.
Benefits: "Full benefit package available for employees working a minimum of 630 hours during the school year. Benefits offered by Lake Washington School District can be found on the SEBB Website Additional information regarding Salary Schedules, Benefits, and Employee Group Agreements can be found here". We'll make list? It's not a list but we can still use
- for benefits? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can make a
with each benefit statement as - . Could combine into one
- but better to split.
Pay: "Salary Paid per teacher salary schedule with Base contract plus additional contracts for LEAP days, and Responsibility. Additional Technology stipend and Professional Fund. See LWEA salary schedule posted on website." We'll make
- each.
We must not include boilerplate like "FLSA Status: Exempt Application Procedure..." etc. Also remove "Building administrators will contact you directly if you are selected for an interview." That's application instruction? It's about process; we should remove application instructions. Also "If you wish to be considered for this position, please apply directly to this posting." Remove. Also "Please review LWSD Human Resources Employment Policies..." etc. Remove.
Also remove "WORK ENVIRONMENT" section? It's substantive? It describes physical demands. Could be considered part of Requirements? But we have no heading for Work Environment. The instruction only lists specific headings; we could include it under Requirements? But better to omit if not matching headings. However we must preserve ALL substantive information; we cannot drop it unless we can incorporate into existing sections. The physical demands info could be placed under Requirements or maybe under a generic section but we only allowed those headings. Could we add a heading like "Work Environment"? Not in allowed list but instruction says "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, not exhaustive? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we need to preserve all substantive info; we could incorporate work environment details into Requirements or maybe into a
under Requirements. That seems acceptable.
Thus we will include work environment details as a paragraph under Requirements (or maybe as a separate
after Minimum Qualifications). We'll keep it.

We need to ensure no duplicate content. Also ensure we didn't include any boilerplate like "FLSA Status", "Application Procedure", etc.
Check that we preserved all substantive info: summary, essential job functions (converted to list), minimum qualifications, knowledge/skills/abilities, work environment, benefits, pay. Did we miss any? The summary: "The role of the Instructional Coach is to support the instructional growth of teachers through coaching and modeling, helping create school communities that foster belonging, agency and achievement for every student. The Instructional Coaches will work in concert with building and district leaders to provide job-embedded coaching and professional learning for teachers which helps to foster inclusive, culturally responsive learning environments. The Instructional Coach is critical in improving student achievement and creating inclusive environments and high functioning Multi-Tiered Systems of Support in schools; coaches are part of the MTSS-I team and will promote reflection, provide guidance and structure where needed, with a focus on strengths, collaboration and elements in implementing MTSS systems. They help ensure high-quality instruction in classrooms through modeling, co-planning, co-teaching, resource gathering, and providing feedback to teachers. This is not a supervisory position." We need to include that
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, equal-opportunity, scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. Preserve all substantive info.
