Paraeducator - Non-Mainstream Special Education SUPPORT-PM Class

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? There's a Description section with responsibilities. Requirements? There's Minimum Qualifications, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Licenses/Special Requirements. Benefits? There's a link to Wages And Benefits but no explicit details; we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It says "Click here to access details on the following: Salaries/Wages Insurance Retirement Plans Paid Time Off or Vacation Paid Holidays Other Compensation". That's not actual content, just a link. So we should not create Benefits section. Pay: we have "Position pay: PSE Salary Schedule Level 5 - $ 25.40". So we can create a Pay section with that. Schedule: we have hours info: "Position Hours And Pay This position is for 3.25 hours per day at 178 days per year. 7 hours per day for 4 days for the first year and 2 days each year following until certification is completed." That's schedule info. So we can create a Schedule section with that. We also have "Important Information" with details about assignment changes, hire date, required training. Could be part of About the role or maybe a separate section like "Details". But we need to use headings from list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose appropriate ones. We have Responsibilities (description). We have Requirements (minimum qualifications, required knowledge, skills, abilities, licenses). Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow headings exactly; we can include both Requirements and Qualifications if content exists. Qualifications maybe similar to Minimum Qualifications. We'll include Requirements for mandatory federal minimum employment requirements etc. Qualifications for education/experience, skills, abilities, licenses. We have Pay section. Schedule section. We should not repeat job title. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes Non-Discrimination Policy etc. That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also application procedure line. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the important info about assignment changes, hire date, required training, Right Response training, etc. Where to place? Could be under About the role or maybe a separate section like "Details". But we only allowed headings from list; we could put that info under About the role (makes sense). About the role can contain narrative about position, important info. Thus:

About the role

... include important info: THIS IS A 1:1 AFTERNOON SUPPORT PARAEDUCATOR POSITION. A CHANGE IN ASSIGNMENT... Official Hire Date... Required Training... Must complete Right Response Training... etc.

Responsibilities

... description of duties (the long paragraph). Could also break into

• for list of duties? The description includes many duties separated by periods. Could convert to list items. The instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities are a list of duties; we can make each duty a
  • . However we need to preserve all substantive information; we can split sentences into list items. Might be long but okay. Similarly for Requirements: we have federal minimum employment requirements list (must be 18..., hold high school diploma..., and one of the following...). That's a list; we can use
    • . Qualifications: Education and Experience, Required Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Licenses/Special Requirements. Could be separate sub-sections? But we only have heading Qualifications; we can put all under that heading, maybe using

      for prose and

      • for lists. Pay:

        Pay

        Position pay: PSE Salary Schedule Level 5 - $ 25.40

        Schedule:

        Schedule

        Position Hours And Pay This position is for 3.25 hours per day at 178 days per year. 7 hours per day for 4 days for the first year and 2 days each year following until certification is completed.

        We need to ensure we don't duplicate "Position Hours And Pay" text inside schedule; we can just give the info. We must not include boilerplate like Non-Discrimination Policy, Application Procedure, etc. Check for any other substantive info: "Must complete Right Response Training and receive qualifications within 3-5 months (currently says 6 on some postings). Renewal of Right Response certification must be completed annualy prior to expiration date." That's in Important Information? Actually appears after "Required Training - Person hired for this position must also complete Right Response Training within 3-5 months of hire." Then later: "Must complete Right Response Training and receive qualifications within 3-5 months (currently says 6 on some postings). Renewal of Right Response certification must be completed annualy prior to expiration date." We'll include that. Also "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." Also "You may provide unofficial transcripts in your application but will be required to provide official ones upon hire. Not providing required documents could significantly delay your official hire. Please contact HR with questions." That's application instruction; we should remove application instructions. So we drop that. Also "Para testing information. https://www.bethelsd.org/programs-departments/human-resources/career-opportunities/instructional-paraeducator-requirements" That's a link; maybe we keep as part of Requirements? It's a reference; but it's not boilerplate; it's a resource. Might keep as a link within Requirements. We must not include application instructions; but the link is not exactly instruction; it's info. Could keep. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. About the role paragraph: combine important info. "This is a 1:1 afternoon 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 with the Bethel School District is based on School Board approval and may change without notice. Required training: person hired must complete Right Response Training within 3-5 months of hire and must successfully complete the Fundamental Course of Studies (FCS) and General Paraeducator Certificate of the state mandated Paraeducator Certificate Program per state requirements (program dependent on state funding). Must complete Right Response Training and receive qualifications within 3-5 months of hire; renewal of Right Response certification must be completed annually prior to expiration date." That seems good. Responsibilities: we need to list duties. The description paragraph after "Description This position's responsibilities are to assist certificated staff with instructional and non-instructional activities for non-mainstreamed special education students, generally in a self-contained classroom, and including instructing students individually or in small groups, assisting students with basic life skills, and supervising student behavior activities." Then "Job Summary ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Duties Depending upon individual assignment, the Paraeducator - Non-Mainstream Special Education may perform all or a combination of several of the following duties:" then a long list of duties separated by periods.
