We need to capture them as bullet list. - Other Functions: list. - REPORTING RELATIONSHIPS: Reports to the school principal or assigned administrator; receives guidance from certificated staff. - MENTAL DEMANDS: list. - PHYSICAL DEMANDS: list. - Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience: Education, training, skills, and experience necessary to carry out the assignment, with experience working with school age children and special needs students preferred. For Title One and Title One School-wide Special Education positions there is an associate degree, or proof of completion of the Washington State Paraeducator Assessment, or two years of higher education requirement per the Federal "No Child Left Behind" Act. Allowable Substitutions Not applicable. - Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: list. - Licenses/Special Requirements: fingerprinting and background check, infection control plan, first aid/CPR certification, Hepatitis-B immunization offered, must complete Right Response Training within 3-5 months, renewal annually. - PSE UNIT AFFILIATION: Paraeducator/Special Services - Wages And Benefits: Click here to access details on the following: Salaries/Wages Insurance Retirement Plans Paid Time Off or Vacation Paid Holidays Other Compensation - Non-Discrimination Policy: etc. - Application Procedure: Apply online (boilerplate, we remove). We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (maybe from Description), Responsibilities (duties list), Requirements (maybe Minimum Qualifications + Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities + Licenses/Special Requirements?), Qualifications (maybe overlapping), Skills (maybe part of Required Knowledge...), Benefits (maybe from Wages And Benefits?), Pay (we have pay info), Schedule (we have schedule info). Also maybe "Important Information" could be part of About the role or Requirements. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay and schedule. We need to decide which sections to include. We have: - Pay: explicit "$25.40" and PSE Salary Schedule Level 5. - Schedule: details about hours per day, days per year, etc. - Benefits: The posting mentions "Wages And Benefits Click here to access details on the following: Salaries/Wages Insurance Retirement Plans Paid Time Off or Vacation Paid Holidays Other Compensation". That's a link to details, but not explicit benefit details. The instruction says: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "Wages And Benefits" and lists categories but not specific details. Is that enough? It states there are details accessible via link. Might be considered stating them, but not giving specifics. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state "Wages And Benefits" and enumerates categories. I'd argue that is stating them, albeit generic. We could include a Benefits section with those categories as bullet list. But we must not invent details. We can list the categories as given: Salaries/Wages, Insurance, Retirement Plans, Paid Time Off or Vacation, Paid Holidays, Other Compensation. That seems acceptable. - About the role: Could be from Description and Important Information combined. - Responsibilities: The duties list under "Job Summary ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Duties" and "Other Functions". We can combine into one Responsibilities section. - Requirements: Could be Minimum Qualifications Education and Experience, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Licenses/Special Requirements. Might be too many sections; we can combine into Requirements (or Qualifications). The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering qualifications, skills, licenses), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, application procedure, contact HR etc. Remove those. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the important info about hire date, Right Response training, etc. Those are substantive. Where to place them? Could be in About the role or Requirements. Let's extract substantive pieces: Important Information: - This is a 1:1 support paraeducator position. - A change in assignment and/or location may occur based on student specific needs and variances in school enrollment. - Official Hire Date - Your hire date with the Bethel School District is based on School Board approval. This date depends on multiple factors and may change without notice. - Please contact HR with any questions. (Remove contact HR? It's boilerplate? It's a request to contact HR; maybe we keep as it's substantive? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Contact HR is not exactly those, but could be considered boilerplate? It's a directive to contact HR for questions. Might be considered application instruction? It's not exactly application procedure but still a call to action. Safer to remove? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is not exactly application instruction but similar. I'd remove "Please contact HR with any questions." as it's generic. - Required Training - Person hired for this position must complete Right Response Training within 3-5 months of hire. Renewal of Right Response certification must be completed annually prior to expiration date. - Must successfully complete the Fundamental Course of Studies (FCS) and General Paraeducator Certificate of the state mandated Paraeducator Certificate Program per State requirements. - Paraeducator Certificate Program is dependent upon State funding. - IMPORTANT: In order to be considered for an interview for this instructional paraeducator position you must meet the following federal minimum employment requirements.

Requirements

  • ... combine Minimum Qualifications, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Licenses/Special Requirements, and federal minimum employment requirements (age, diploma, etc).

We'll include bullet points for each distinct requirement.

    Benefits
