Para-Educator Special Education 18-21 Year Old Program (Community Transition)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, no invention. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. Let's parse the posting. PURPOSE STATEMENT: description of role. Could be "About the role". Use

About the role

then

with purpose statement. Essential Functions: list of duties. Use

Responsibilities

then

• each essential function. Other Functions: maybe also responsibilities? Could combine but we can include as part of responsibilities. Reporting Relationships: maybe not a required heading; but could be part of About the role? Not listed headings; we can ignore or put under About the role? The instruction: use headings only for those listed; we can omit others. Mental Demands, Physical Demands: maybe not needed; but could be part of Requirements? Not exactly. Might be considered under Requirements? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content. Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience. That's Qualifications. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: that's Skills. Licenses/Special Requirements: maybe Requirements? Could be Requirements. Terms of Employment: includes schedule (hours per day, days per week, days per year) and benefits (PSE Salary Schedule, Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave). Also maybe Pay? Not explicit salary amount, but mentions PSE Salary Schedule (implies pay scale). We should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It mentions PSE Salary Schedule but not actual numbers. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state schedule (A6 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year) and benefits (PSE Salary Schedule, Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave). So we can include Schedule and Benefits sections. Pay? It mentions PSE Salary Schedule but not actual pay; maybe we can treat that as Pay? The instruction says do not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does state "PSE Salary Schedule" which is a pay schedule, but not actual numbers. Might be considered stating pay schedule. Safer to include Pay section with that info? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state PSE Salary Schedule, which is a pay schedule. So we could include Pay section with that phrase. However, they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Could combine Pay and Benefits? But they are separate headings allowed. We'll include Pay with that phrase, Benefits with list, Schedule with hours/days. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. At end there is a long EEO statement; we must remove. Also remove "CONDITIONS" etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract. Purpose Statement: "This position is responsible for assisting certificated staff by performing instructional support tasks, job coaching, transit training and other vocational and adaptive skills related to the students' educational development within the classroom and in the community. This position must also be a positive role model for students." Essential Functions list (I'll copy each sentence): - Provide instructional support for IEP students by attending to the program needs including vocational and adaptive skills. - Provide job coaching in the community. - Provide support and structure for students needing behavior and social skills support. - Assist students in developing functional skills leading to independence. - Implement and reinforce social skills training programs. - Assist certificated staff with required record-keeping, development of materials and preparation of teaching aids. - Learn instructional techniques under the direction of a teacher and independently carry out instructional programs developed by the supervising teacher. - Collaboratively work with community members and staff of this program. - Assist in assessing students. - Perform routine tasks in monitoring and assisting student progress in the classroom and other community activities. - Provide transportation to and from community sites. - Promote positive public relations when communicating with the public. Other Functions list: - Perform routine classroom and building clerical tasks as needed. - May serve on various district committees and/or departmental work teams. - Perform related duties consistent with the scope and intent of the position. We could merge Other Functions into Responsibilities as additional items. Reporting Relationships: "Reports to the Director of Special Education. Receives direction and guidance from other designated staff to include classroom teacher(s)." Could be part of About the role or separate but not a listed heading; we could include in About the role paragraph. Mental Demands: "Required to deal with a wide range of student, staff and public behaviors and needs in a positive and service oriented manner. May experience shifts in work schedule or work site according to district needs. May occasionally deal with distraught or difficult students or parents." Might be considered Requirements? Could be under Requirements as "Ability to handle..." but we have Skills section for abilities. Might be okay to include under Requirements as "Mental demands". But we have no heading for mental demands; we could incorporate into Requirements or Skills. Since we have Skills heading, we could put mental demands there as abilities. But we also have Knowledge, Skills And Abilities section already. So we should put those under Skills. Physical Demands: "Amount of standing, sitting and walking will vary depending on the students and classroom/community assignments." Could be under Requirements? Might be under Requirements as physical ability. We'll include under Requirements. Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience: - High School diploma or GED. - AA Degree, 72 college level credits, or ability to pass the Federal Para-Educator test. - Experience working with students in an educational setting and/or evidence of an interest in supporting learning experiences. Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: - Bilingual English/Spanish preferred. - Knowledge/awareness of own cultural identity and how this influences behavior, and desire to learn about the cultural identity of others. - Ability to establish and nurture an environment that promotes cultural competence and equitable treatment of staff, students, and patrons of the district. - Ability to communicate effectively with students, staff, and parents – including phone and email communication. - Possess the desire to be a role model for students and to interact positively with students. - Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with students, staff and the public. Licenses/Special Requirements: - Requires fingerprinting and background check to determine that there have been no convictions involving physical molestation, abuse, injury or neglect of a minor. - Must complete Walla Walla Public Schools Risk Management and Bloodborne Pathogens Training upon hire. - Required to attend training for de-escalation procedures. - Must have a First Aid card or be willing to get one upon hire. - Must have a Type II driver's license or be willing to get one upon hire. Terms of Employment: "Para Educator on the PSE Classified Salary Schedule A6 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year; PSE Salary Schedule, Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave." We need to parse: It says "Para Educator on the PSE Classified Salary Schedule A6 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year; PSE Salary Schedule, Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave." Interpretation: The position is Para Educator on the PSE Classified Salary Schedule. Work schedule: A6 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year. Benefits: PSE Salary Schedule (maybe redundant), Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave. Thus we can create: - Pay: "PSE Classified Salary Schedule" (maybe mention that pay is according to that schedule). - Schedule: "A6 hours per day, 5 days per week, 189 days per school year." - Benefits: "Retirement, SEBB Benefits, 9 Holidays, Paid Sick Leave." We should not repeat "PSE Salary Schedule" twice; but we can include in Pay. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

  and appropriate content. We must not include any markdown fences. We'll produce something like:
