Paraeducator - Middle School (26-27)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Keep substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Key sections: - Position Summary: description of role. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Position Summary". Use

About the role

with paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of essential functions and responsibilities. Use

• . - Requirements/Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications includes Experience, Education, Knowledge/skills required. Could be "Qualifications" or "Requirements". We'll include both maybe. - Skills: Knowledge/skills required list. - Benefits: Compensation section mentions benefits: medical, dental, vision, transportation benefits. Also mention competitive salary and benefits package. So we can have Benefits section. - Pay: Salary range $20.92 - $24.84/hour, plus 12 month pay, 60 days school break pay. So Pay section. - Schedule: It mentions full-time, 40 hour a week, non-exempt, based on school year calendar cycle, paid over 12 month period including scheduled school breaks and summer break. That's schedule info. Could be Schedule section. We must avoid duplication. Also avoid repeating same sentences multiple times. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Let's extract substantive info: Position Summary (first paragraph): Reporting to the school leader & under the direction of the Education Specialist or other certificated employee, the Paraeducator will primarily assist by performing a variety of academic and behavior support duties to individual or small groups of students within the special education classroom, regular classroom and other school settings (both in an in-person classroom setting and virtually). These duties shall be designed to complement the instructional program to maximize learning opportunities for students in a variety of educational settings. The Paraeducator will also assist in the establishment and implementation of appropriate classroom and school-wide behavior and assist students to access all aspects of the educational environment of the school and the community. This role is paid over a 12 month period, including scheduled school breaks and summer break. The salary range for this position is $20.92 - $24.84 / hour. This rate, coupled with the additional 60 days of school break pay we offer, results in annualized pay that is, on average, significantly more than our district peers. That's a mix of summary and pay. We'll separate. Responsibilities/Essential Functions: list bullet points: - Under the direction of the Education Specialist, work with students in small groups or in one-to-one assignments to reinforce or follow up learning activities in core academic, language, and/or specialized subject areas (for both in-class instruction and distance learning). - Assist in the implementation of behavior intervention plans which may involve use of approved positive reinforcement strategies, behavior modification, and other skills or knowledge to establish and maintain appropriate behaviors. - Facilitate and support social interactions and foster the development of positive relationships between students with disabilities and their non-disabled peers. - Assist all students by modeling appropriate behavior and attitudes and providing emotional support and general guidance. - Support students to be active participants on field trips and school assemblies or productions. - Provide testing accommodations, including supervising students completing tests in a separate location or during an extended time. - Provide the Education Specialist with information on student progress through observation, daily contact, and maintenance of accurate data trackers, student progress records/logs. - Assist in establishing and maintaining a clean, safe, and cooperative classroom and learning environment. - Assist physically disabled students with personal hygiene and grooming functions, including toileting, diapering, eating, dressing, and other self-help skills. - Report suspected health problems to the appropriate school personnel. - Maintain confidentiality of student records and classroom information in accordance with legal requirements and KIPP policies. - Maintain instructional program in case of temporary absence of the Education Specialist. - Attend and participate in IEP meetings, parent‑teacher conferences, and Student Study Meetings. - Maintain professional standards and competence through participation in professional growth opportunities provided by KIPP Bay Area Public Schools and in self‑directed professional growth activities. - Consistent & on time attendance during school work hours. - Adhere to KIPP’s health and safety guidelines as outlined by the CDC, CDE, and public health agencies’ recommendations. - Perform other duties as assigned. Physical, Mental and Environmental Demands: could be part of Responsibilities or separate? Might be considered Requirements? But we can include as part of Responsibilities? Probably better as a separate section "Physical & Mental Demands" but not in allowed headings list. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put physical demands under Responsibilities or Requirements. Since it's about demands, maybe under Requirements. We'll include a bullet list under Requirements. Preferred Qualifications: Experience: Paid or volunteer experience working with or serving individuals with academic, behavioral, or functional needs preferred. Education: Title I paraprofessionals whose duties include instructional support must have: High school diploma or the equivalent, and A.A. degree or B.A. degree (or minimum 48 units in process) or Pass the ETS ParaPro Assessment (passing score = 460) or CBEST exams Knowledge/skills required: Commitment to KIPP mission and vision; Commitment to being an anti-racist educator; Believe all students can achieve at the highest academic levels; Possess strong content area knowledge; Strong skills building relationships with students, families, and communities; Communicate well with students, families, and colleagues; Have proficient knowledge of Google Suite applications (Google Classroom, Hangout, Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.); Have the ability to learn and utilize instructional technology to support in-class and distance learning when needed (i.e. Zoom, Nearpod); Bilingual in languages that reflect our student populations (preferred) We can split into Qualifications (Experience, Education) and Skills (knowledge/skills). Or combine. Benefits: "We offer a competitive salary as well as a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and transportation benefits." Also mention competitive pay and benefits reflect appreciation. So Benefits section: medical, dental, vision, transportation benefits. Pay: Salary range $20.92 - $24.84/hour; paid over 12 month period including scheduled school breaks and summer break; additional 60 days of school break pay; annualized pay significantly more than district peers. Schedule: Full-time, 40 hour a week, non-exempt position based on a school year calendar cycle and time off policy; paid over 12 month period including scheduled school breaks and summer break. (Note schedule overlaps with pay; but we can still include schedule info.) We must avoid duplication: The 12 month period appears in both Pay and Schedule; but we can keep in both if needed but maybe better to keep in Pay and mention schedule separately about hours/week and calendar. We must not include boilerplate like "How To Apply", "Questions? Email". Remove. Also remove duplicated lines like repeated salary range multiple times. Now craft HTML. We'll start with

  About the role

  ... summary without pay details? We'll include summary of role duties and context but not pay. The summary originally includes pay line; we can omit that line to avoid duplication. So summary: Reporting to the school leader & under the direction of the Education Specialist or other certificated employee, the Paraeducator will primarily assist by performing a variety of academic and behavior support duties to individual or small groups of students within the special education classroom, regular classroom and other school settings (both in an in-person classroom setting and virtually). These duties shall be designed to complement the instructional program to maximize learning opportunities for students in a variety of educational settings. The Paraeducator will also assist in the establishment and implementation of appropriate classroom and school-wide behavior and assist students to access all aspects of the educational environment of the school and the community. That's good. Then Responsibilities:

  Responsibilities

  with each bullet. Then Requirements: maybe include Experience and Education. Or we can have Qualifications heading. Let's use

  Qualifications

  with sub bullets for Experience and Education. Then Skills:

  Skills

  with bullet list of knowledge/skills. Then Benefits:

  Benefits

  We offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, and transportation benefits.

  Then Pay:

  The salary range for this position is $20.92 – $24.84 per hour. The role is paid over a 12‑month period, including scheduled school breaks and summer break, with an additional 60 days of school break pay, resulting in annualized compensation that is, on average, significantly higher than district peers.

  Then Schedule:

  This is a full‑time, 40‑hour‑per‑week, non‑exempt position following the school‑year calendar and time‑off policy.

  We should also include physical/mental/environmental demands maybe under Requirements? Could add a bullet list under Requirements: Physical: ability to navigate school and classroom settings, access/utilize technology, occasional lifting/carrying 1-20 lbs, physical agility to move self in various positions (kneeling, walking, pushing/pulling, squatting, twisting, turning, bending, stooping, reaching overhead). Mental: stress of deadlines, ability to analyze problems, work with interruptions, concentrate for long periods, read, calculate, perform routine math, memorize and recall. Environmental: school/classroom subject to constant interruptions and distractions; adhere to health and safety guidelines. We could add a subsection under Requirements: "Physical, Mental & Environmental Demands". But heading not allowed; we can incorporate as bullet list under Requirements. Let's incorporate those as bullet list under Requirements after Experience/Education. Now ensure no duplication: We have not repeated the salary range multiple times. We have not repeated the 12 month period in Schedule besides mention; it's okay. Now produce HTML fragment. Check for any leftover boilerplate: removed "How To Apply", "Questions? Email". Also removed repeated "About KIPP Public Schools Northern California" description? That is substantive about organization; maybe we could include as part of About the role? But the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The About KIPP description is about the organization, not the role. Could be considered boilerplate? It's not navigation/legal/EEO but it's about the organization. Might be considered substantive but not required. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that info. Where to put? Could be under About the role or a separate section like "About the organization". But allowed headings list does not include "About the organization". Could we put under About the role? Might be okay to extend the paragraph. However the About the role currently is about role duties; adding organization info may be okay but could blur. Perhaps we can add a separate section "About KIPP" but not in allowed headings; maybe we can incorporate into About the role as a second paragraph. 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 says "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies those are examples; we could still use other headings but better to stick to those. So we can add organization info under About the role as a second paragraph. Thus About the role will have two paragraphs: first about role duties, second
