Paraeducator, currently at Ivy Drive 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 — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.
Key content:
- Position Title: Paraeducator (not heading)
- Department: Currently at Ivy Drive School
- Reports to: Special Education Teacher
- Summary: Assist in small group and individual pupil instruction.
- Essential Duties and Responsibilities: list of duties (multiple bullet points)
- Qualifications Requirement: includes many sub-sections: Education And/Or Experience, Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Computer Skills, Reasoning Ability, Other Skills And Abilities, Physical Demands, Work Environment.
- Salary: Per contractual agreement - AFSCME 2267
- Work Hours: 6.5 hours per day, 8:50AM - 3:50PM
- Date of Service: As soon as possible
- Application instructions (to be removed)
- Additional note about ADA compliance etc (maybe can be removed as boilerplate? It's not exactly EEO but it's about ADA compliance; might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The ADA compliance note might be considered legal boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Additional duties are performed..." maybe also boilerplate? It's substantive? It says additional duties performed by individuals currently holding this position and additional duties may be assigned. That's somewhat generic but maybe we keep as part of responsibilities? It's not a list; could be omitted as boilerplate? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The ADA compliance note is legal; we should remove. The "Additional duties are performed..." maybe not boilerplate but it's generic; but we could keep as part of responsibilities? It's not a specific duty. Might be considered filler; better to omit.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: could include Summary and maybe department/reports to? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience?), Qualifications (maybe language, math, computer, reasoning, other skills), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we need to avoid thin sections. The posting includes Salary and Work Hours (schedule). Benefits not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section unless present. Pay: we have Salary: Per contractual agreement - AFSCME 2267. That's specific enough? It's not a number but it's a statement. It's not placeholder like "commensurate with experience". It's a specific statement. So we can include Pay section.
Schedule: Work Hours: 6.5 hours per day, 8:50AM - 3:50PM. That's specific. So include Schedule.
Now we need to decide how to structure the qualifications. The posting has many sub-sections: Education And/Or Experience, Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Computer Skills, Reasoning Ability, Other Skills And Abilities, Physical Demands, Work Environment. Some of these could be under Requirements or Qualifications or Skills. The instruction says we can use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to avoid duplication and thin sections. Perhaps we can combine into a single "Requirements" section with subheadings? But we only allowed for section headings; we could still use for each sub-section? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but likely they want only those specific headings. To be safe, we should only use those headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: Summary (Assist in small group and individual pupil instruction.) plus maybe department/reports to? Could include department and reports to as short paragraph.
- Responsibilities: list of essential duties.
- Requirements: maybe Education And/Or Experience.
- Qualifications: maybe Language Skills, Mathematical Skills, Computer Skills, Reasoning Ability, Other Skills And Abilities.
- Skills: maybe Physical Demands and Work Environment? Or we could put Physical Demands under Qualifications? But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps we can have Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (skills/abilities), and then Pay and Schedule.
But we also have Physical Demands and Work Environment which are substantive; we could include them under a "Requirements" heading as well, but that might be too thick. However we can include them as
paragraphs under Requirements.
Alternatively, we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (language, math, computer, reasoning, other skills), Physical Demands, Work Environment, Pay, Schedule. But that's many sections; instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we should combine.
Maybe we can have:
- About the role (summary + department/reports)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (education/experience + language/math/computer/reasoning/other skills + physical demands + work environment) as a single big section with paragraphs and lists.
- Pay
- Schedule
That's 4 sections.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content.
Now we need to format lists: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities we need a
. For Requirements we might have multiple sub-lists? Could combine into one with all items? But that would lose categorization. However we could still have multiple under the same heading; that's okay.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include each duty, each qualification item, etc.
Let's extract duties:
From "ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Other duties may be assigned. Assist students with instruction under the direction of the special education teacher.Assist teacher in maintaining discipline.Assist teacher with instructional activities.Escort students from room to room.Toileting students is sometimes required.Involves work with both special education and regular students.Assist teaching staff in the implementation of IEP.Supervise students while they are at recess and lunch.Assist students with classroom assignments.Copy materials for instructional purposes.Assist teacher in filing material and preparing all necessary paperwork.Alert teachers to problems that may be observed.May require supporting with toileting of studentsPMT required and provided by district"
We need to split into separate items. The text is concatenated without punctuation. We need to parse manually.
List:
- Assist students with instruction under the direction of the special education teacher.
- Assist teacher in maintaining discipline.
- Assist teacher with instructional activities.
- Escort students from room to room.
- Toileting students is sometimes required.
- Involves work with both special education and regular students.
- Assist teaching staff in the implementation of IEP.
- Supervise students while they are at recess and lunch.
- Assist students with classroom assignments.
- Copy materials for instructional purposes.
- Assist teacher in filing material and preparing all necessary paperwork.
- Alert teachers to problems that may be observed.
- May require supporting with toileting of students.
- PMT required and provided by district.
Note: "May require supporting with toileting of students" duplicates toileting; but we keep as separate? Might be duplicate; but we should preserve all substantive information, not remove duplicates unless they are duplicated lines. This is a duplicate concept but not exact same line; we could keep both but maybe it's redundant. The instruction says remove duplicated lines. This is not exactly same line but similar. I'd keep one toileting item.
We also have "Other duties may be assigned." That's a generic statement; we could include as a bullet? It's not a specific duty; but it's part of the posting. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a standard phrase; but it's not EEO etc. Might keep as a bullet? It's not a specific duty; but we could include as a bullet under responsibilities. However it's generic; but it's part of the posting. I'd include as a bullet: "Other duties may be assigned."
Now qualifications:
Education And/Or Experience: "High School Diploma or General Education Degree. Two years of college credit OR hold an associate's (or higher) degree; OR successful completion of a paraprofessional assessment which assesses content knowledge in mathematics, reading and writing and an understanding of how to assist in the instruction of these topics (Parapro Assessment)."
We need to preserve that exactly.
