Paraeducator - Title 1 - Early Literacy

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. The posting includes many details: job summary, essential functions, non-essential functions, required education and qualifications, required prior experience, required knowledge and skills, assigned decision making, interactions with others, supervisory responsibility, budget responsibility, working environment, physical requirements. Also includes some metadata like hours per week, closing time, contact info, etc. We need to reformat into semantic HTML using

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. We must include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it. So we need to map content to these headings. We have: - About the role: could be job summary and maybe description of position (supports K-3 literacy, hours per week, contact). Could include "Under the direction of the principal and teacher(s), the paraeducator assists teachers..." etc. - Responsibilities: essential functions list. - Requirements: maybe required education and qualifications, required prior experience. - Qualifications: maybe required knowledge and skills? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications sections; we need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements could be education/experience, Qualifications could be knowledge/skills. But we must not create thin sections; we can combine if needed. However we must follow instruction: use headings for those categories if we have content. We can include both if we have substantive content. - Skills: maybe knowledge and skills. - Benefits: posting does not mention benefits explicitly. There's "Salary Schedule Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement C Contract Length Hourly Only FLSA Classification Non-exempt". That's about pay and schedule? It mentions salary schedule, lane placement, contract length hourly only, FLSA classification. That could be considered Pay and Schedule. Benefits not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section unless there is content. So we omit Benefits. - Pay: we have salary schedule etc. Could be considered Pay. Should we include Pay section? The posting includes "Salary Schedule Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement C Contract Length Hourly Only FLSA Classification Non-exempt". That's about pay classification. So we can include Pay section with that info. - Schedule: we have "Hours per week: 29". Also "Contract Length Hourly Only". That could be schedule. So we can include Schedule section with hours per week and contract length. We must not include placeholder text like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all essential functions, etc. We need to format lists with

• . For prose use

  . We must not repeat job title as heading. So no

  Title 1 Paraeducator

  . We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

  About the role

  This position exclusively supports K-3 literacy. Hours per week: 29. If you have questions regarding this position, please contact Jennette Fordham, Assistant Principal, at (385)-646-2930 or email jfordham@graniteschools.org. The posting closes at 3:00 pm on the date listed above.

  But we need to check if we should include closing time and contact. It's substantive. Yes.

  Responsibilities

  • Assists in the preparation of instruction materials.
  • Assists in the instruction of students and other classroom activities as needed.
  • May tutor students individually or in small groups.
  • Assist in the administration of a variety of tests and monitors students' academic progress.
  • Keeps accurate data on assigned students or group of students.
  • Supports a school environment that helps students develop and maintain a positive self-concept.
  • Maintains professional confidentiality regarding student information.
  • Maintains effective and positive communication with students, teachers, parents, patrons, and administration.
  • Work collaboratively in a team environment.
  • Must be able to work assigned hours.
  We could also include non-essential functions? The instruction says to preserve all substantive information. Non-essential functions: "Other duties as assigned". That's not substantive? It's generic. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a line but it's not specific. Might be okay to include but it's not a list of duties. Could be omitted as it's generic. However we need to preserve all substantive information; "Other duties as assigned" is not substantive detail. Might be okay to omit.

  Requirements

  Required Prior Experience: None.

  Required Education And Qualifications: High school diploma or equivalent; one of the following: 48 hours of college credit; Associates degree or higher; or passing score on the ParaPro exam.

  But we have separate Qualifications section maybe for knowledge/skills. Let's decide. We could put education/experience under Requirements, and knowledge/skills under Qualifications, and maybe Skills under Skills? But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings. The instruction says use those headings if content exists. We have knowledge and skills content: "Basic reading, writing, and math skills. Effective written and oral communication Ability to follow directions given. Ability to interact positively with students. Ability to assist students in a variety of situations as they arise". That's skills. So we can put that under Skills. Qualifications could be education/experience? But we already used Requirements for that. However we could shift: Requirements = education/experience, Qualifications = knowledge/skills, Skills = maybe something else? But we don't have other skills beyond knowledge/skills. Could combine Qualifications and Skills? But we need to avoid thin sections. If we put knowledge/skills under Qualifications, we could omit Skills section. Or we could put knowledge/skills under Skills and keep Qualifications for education/experience. Let's see typical usage: Requirements often include education/experience; Qualifications often include knowledge/skills; Skills maybe specific technical skills. Since we have both knowledge and skills, we could put them under Qualifications. Then we could omit Skills section. But we need to decide which headings to use. We have content for: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (education/experience), Qualifications (knowledge/skills), Pay, Schedule. We should not create Benefits section. Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay, Schedule. Check if any content for Pay: "Salary Schedule Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement C Contract Length Hourly Only FLSA Classification Non-exempt". That's about pay classification and contract type. We'll put that under Pay. Schedule: "Hours per week: 29". Also maybe "Contract Length Hourly Only" but that's more about pay type. We'll keep schedule as hours per week. We also have "Physical Requirements" etc. That could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Could be under Requirements as well. But we already used Requirements for education/experience. Could add a subsection? But we need to follow heading structure only; we cannot add subheadings besides h3. We could include physical requirements under Requirements as a paragraph list. Or we could create another section like "Working Environment" but not in allowed headings. The instruction says use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could also add other headings if needed? The examples list those; likely they expect only those headings. Safer to stick to those. Thus we need to fit physical requirements somewhere. Could be under Requirements (as part of job requirements). Or under Qualifications. We'll put under Requirements as additional bullet list. Similarly Working Environment could be under Requirements or Qualifications. We'll put under Requirements. We must preserve all substantive information, so we need to include physical requirements, working environment, etc. Thus Requirements section will contain: Required Education And Qualifications, Required Prior Experience, Physical Requirements, Working Environment, maybe also "Assigned Decision Making", "Interactions With Others", "Supervisory Responsibility", "Budget Responsibility". Those are also substantive. Could be under Requirements as well. But we need to avoid making the section too thin? It's okay to have a lot of content. Thus we will have Requirements section with multiple paragraphs/lists. Qualifications section will have knowledge/skills. Pay section will have salary schedule etc. Schedule section will have hours per week. Let's draft. We need to ensure we don't repeat content.
