EducationFull-time
We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must include only sections with real content. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Starting Monday, August 3, 2026 7-8 hours per day (schedule)
- Job Title: Para-Educator – Teacher Aide - @ Aquinas High School working with sped students Positions Available in All Buildings (title not needed)
- GOAL: essential functions list (regular attendance, ability to perform tasks, ability to perform physical requirements)
- Reports To: Building Principal
- Essential Job Functions: list of many bullet-like sentences.
- Specific Job Activities: list of many tasks.
- Required Employee Characteristics: list of abilities.
- At-Will Employment: description.
- TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT: Salary and work year to be established by the Board of Education.
- Job Description Specific To Special Education (in addition to those already listed): list.
- Early Childhood: list.
- Secondary or transition students: list.
- Library/Media: list.
We need sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Could combine Essential Job Functions and Specific Job Activities as responsibilities. Requirements? Could include Required Employee Characteristics. Qualifications? Not explicit. Skills? Could be part of Required Employee Characteristics. Benefits? Not present. Pay? Not present (salary to be established). Schedule? We have schedule: Starting Monday, August 3, 2026 7-8 hours per day. That's schedule info. So we can have a Schedule section.
We must not create Pay/Benefits unless present. Not present.
We must not create sections with filler.
We need to decide headings: Use h3 for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have: Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions + Specific Job Activities). Requirements (maybe Required Employee Characteristics). Skills (maybe also Required Employee Characteristics). But we should avoid duplication. Could combine Requirements and Skills into one? But we need to follow instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule, Special Education, Early Childhood, Secondary/Transition, Library/Media. But those are not in the allowed heading list. The allowed headings are limited to those specific strings. We must use those headings only? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning examples, not exclusive list? Likely we should use those headings when appropriate. We can also create other headings? It says use h3 for section headings (e.g. ...). It doesn't forbid other headings, but to be safe we should stick to those. However we have content like Special Education, Early Childhood, etc. Could we fit them under Responsibilities? Probably yes: they are specific job functions. Could embed them within Responsibilities as sub-lists.
Thus we can have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule. Possibly also About the role? Not needed.
We need to include all substantive info. So we need to embed Special Education, Early Childhood, Secondary/Transition, Library/Media details inside Responsibilities (maybe as sub-sections with
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning examples, not exclusive list?

Thus we can have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule. Possibly also About the role? Not needed.
We need to include all substantive info. So we need to embed Special Education, Early Childhood, Secondary/Transition, Library/Media details inside Responsibilities (maybe as sub-sections with - ). That's okay.
We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include Starting Monday, August 3, 2026 7-8 hours per day (schedule). Include Reports To: Building Principal (maybe under About the role? Could be in Responsibilities? Could be a short p under Responsibilities? Might be better to have a short p under About the role? But we don't have About the role heading. Could we create a short p before sections? The instruction: Output ONLY the HTML fragment. It didn't forbid a leading p. But we should aim to use sections. Could include a brief p about the role: "Para-Educator – Teacher Aide at Aquinas High School working with special education students. Positions available in all buildings. Reports to Building Principal." That's not repeating job title? It includes the role description but not the title exactly? It includes "Para-Educator – Teacher Aide". That's essentially the title but maybe okay? The instruction: "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". It doesn't forbid mentioning it in prose. So we can include it in a p.
Thus we can have:
Para-Educator – Teacher Aide at Aquinas High School working with special education students. Positions available in all buildings. Reports to the Building Principal.
Then sections:
Responsibilities
- ... list items ...
We need to include all essential job functions and specific job activities, plus special education, early childhood, secondary/transition, library/media.
We must preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each bullet as separate - . Must not omit any.
Let's extract all bullet-like sentences.
From Essential Job Functions (list after GOAL? Actually GOAL includes three points). Then "Essential Job Functions Assist students in the regular classroom. Assist students in the resource room. First aid knowledge. Train and teach students - Identify the educational needs and teach or instruct. Get Information - Observe, receive, and otherwise obtain information from all relevant sources. Establish and Maintain Interpersonal Relationships - Develop constructive and cooperative working relationships with others, and maintain them over time. Maintain confidentiality-maintain a positive relationship with students refraining from discussion of student matters outside the school setting. Communicate with Supervisors and Peers - Provide information to supervisors and co-workers by telephone, in written form, e-mail, or in person. Think Creatively - Develop, design, or create new applications, ideas, relationships, systems, or products, including artistic contributions. Update and Use Relevant Knowledge - Keep up-to-date technically and apply new knowledge to your job. Interpret the Meaning of Information for others - Translate or explain what information means and how it can be used. Consistent and dependable attendance."
These are sentences separated by periods. We'll treat each as a bullet.
Then "Specific Job Activities Assist in classroom activitiesCorrect papers and record gradesSupervise at lunch, activity periods and on playgroundRun copies, laminate, and assemble items for teachersDiscuss assigned duties with classroom teachers in order to coordinate instructional efforts.Prepare lesson materials, bulletin board displays, exhibits, equipment, and demonstrations.Present subject matter to students under the direction and guidance of teachers, using lectures, discussions, or supervised role-playing methods.Tutor and assist children individually or in small groups in order to help them master assignments and to reinforce learning concepts presented by teachers.Supervise students in classrooms, halls, cafeterias, school yards, and gymnasiums, or on field trips.Conduct demonstrations to teach such skills as sports, dancing, and handicrafts.Distribute teaching materials such as textbooks, workbooks, papers, and pencils to students.Distribute tests and homework assignments, and collect them when they are completed.Enforce administration policies and rules governing students.Grade homework and tests, and compute and record results, using answer sheets or electronic marking devices."
These are concatenated without spaces; we need to split by capital letters? Actually they are run together. We need to separate them logically. The original text: "Specific Job Activities Assist in classroom activitiesCorrect papers and record gradesSupervise at lunch, activity periods and on playgroundRun copies, laminate, and assemble items for teachersDiscuss assigned duties with classroom teachers in order to coordinate instructional efforts.Prepare lesson materials, bulletin board displays, exhibits, equipment, and demonstrations.Present subject matter to students under the direction and guidance of teachers, using lectures, discussions, or supervised role-playing methods.Tutor and assist children individually or in small groups in order to help them master assignments and to reinforce learning concepts presented by teachers.Supervise students in classrooms, halls, cafeterias, school yards, and gymnasiums, or on field trips.Conduct demonstrations to teach such skills as sports, dancing, and handicrafts.Distribute teaching materials such as textbooks, workbooks, papers, and pencils to students.Distribute tests and homework assignments, and collect them when they are completed.Enforce administration policies and rules governing students.Grade homework and tests, and compute and record results, using answer sheets or electronic marking devices."
We need to separate each activity. Likely each starts with a verb. Let's manually split:
- Assist in classroom activities
- Correct papers and record grades
- Supervise at lunch, activity periods and on playground
- Run copies, laminate, and assemble items for teachers
- Discuss assigned duties with classroom teachers in order to coordinate instructional efforts
- Prepare lesson materials, bulletin board displays, exhibits, equipment, and demonstrations
- Present subject matter to students under the direction and guidance of teachers, using lectures, discussions, or supervised role-playing methods
- Tutor and assist children individually or in small groups in order to help them master assignments and to reinforce learning concepts presented by teachers
- Supervise students in classrooms, halls, cafeterias, school yards, and gymnasiums, or on field trips
- Conduct demonstrations to teach such skills as sports, dancing, and handicrafts
- Distribute teaching materials such as textbooks, workbooks, papers, and pencils to students
- Distribute tests and homework assignments, and collect them when they are completed
- Enforce administration policies and rules governing students
- Grade homework and tests, and compute and record results, using answer sheets or electronic marking devices
