Now Responsibilities: combine Job Description and Essential Functions and Other Functions. We need to preserve all substantive info: list each duty as separate
  • maybe. Let's extract duties: From Job Description: "assist certificated staff with instructional and non-instructional activities for mainstream special education students, including instructing students individually or in small groups, monitoring and documenting student behavior and progress, and supervising student activities." From Essential Functions list (the long paragraph): we need to break into bullet points. Let's parse: - Instructs students individually or in small groups in a variety of learning activities to promote student understanding of materials presented. - Provides encouragement, reinforcement and achievement of educational objectives and goals defined by certificated staff. - Under direction of certificated staff, may administer and supervise objective tests or other measurements. - Communicates with certificated staff concerning individual student progress; adjusts methods to meet the needs of students with a variety of disabilities; consults with certificated staff concerning remediation or enrichment activities. - Assists certificated staff in maintaining records, logs, charts, assignments and other records for assessment of student progress. - May correct, score or grade papers and assignments according to guidelines or instructions. - Supervises student behavior in classrooms, playground, halls, at lunch or breaks, at bus boarding areas, on field trips and at other sites as assigned to promote safe and appropriate student behavior. - Corrects behaviors and maintains discipline according to established policies and procedures. - Instructs students in behavioral rules and codes for student safety, socialization and individual growth. - Assists students with interpersonal and personal skills mastery. - Establishes and maintains effective communication with students, staff, parents and the public for student progress and safety, and community relations. - May provide physical assistance to handicapped students, such as lifting and positioning or assistance with personal hygiene. - Monitors need for first aid for injured or ill students and refers for treatment as appropriate. Other Functions: - Alerts qualified district staff to student problems. - Locates, prepares and/or modifies materials for student use, enrichment activities and special projects under the direction of certificated staff. - Prepares, duplicates, collates and distributes materials; operates a variety of office equipment. - May serve on various district committees and/or departmental work teams. - Models appropriate and cooperative behavior, including protecting confidential information, consistent with district ethical guidelines. - Performs related duties consistent with the scope and intent of the position.

Mental Demands: - May experience frequent interruptions. - Required to deal with a wide range of student behaviors and academic abilities. - Required to deal with a wide range of physical or emotional disabilities. - May occasionally deal with distraught or difficult students.

We could group these under Responsibilities (maybe include duties) and maybe separate sections for Mental Demands and Physical Demands? But headings limited to given list; we could put them under Responsibilities as well, or maybe under Requirements? The instructions say use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we must fit content into those categories. We can put Mental/Physical demands under Responsibilities or Requirements? Probably Responsibilities includes duties; Requirements could be qualifications needed; Qualifications could be knowledge/skills/abilities; Skills maybe subset; but we have overlapping. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. So we could combine: - About the role: overview (1:1 support, etc.) - Responsibilities: all duties (including essential functions, other functions, reporting, mental/physical demands maybe) - Requirements: federal minimum employment requirements + education/experience (minimum qualifications) + licenses/special requirements (fingerprinting, background check, infection control, first aid/CPR, hepatitis B, Right Response training) - Qualifications: maybe not needed if we covered knowledge/skills under Requirements? But we have Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities list; that could go under Skills section. Or we could put under Qualifications. We have Pay and Schedule sections. Thus we
