Qualifications
Education Attainment (Required): High School Diploma or its equivalent.
Education Attainment (Preferred): Not specified.
Wait we cannot include placeholder like "Not specified". The instruction says: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Qualifications we have a heading; we must not include filler text. If the posting does not have preferred education, we should omit that line. So we only include what is present: Required: High School Diploma or its equivalent. The preferred fields are blank; we should not include them. So Qualifications section will just have the required education. Possibly also include experience? The posting has Relevant Experience (Required): blank, Preferred: blank. So we omit.
Thus Qualifications: Education Attainment (Required): High School Diploma or its equivalent.
But also there is "Knowledge:" etc under Education and Experience section after the blank lines. Actually the posting after Education and Experience includes Knowledge, Skills, Abilities. Those could go under Skills section. So Qualifications only education.
Now Skills section: include Knowledge, Skills, Abilities.
We can break into subheadings? Not required; just list.
We could do:
Skills
- Knowledge: Basic curriculum expectations and IEP goals and objectives; Basic teaching strategies
- Skills: Basic computer applications; Awareness of the needs of students with disabilities and the need for alternative instructional strategies to meet their needs; Basic reading and computation skills
- Abilities: Work cooperatively in a team environment to meet goals; Organize and perform work independently; Meet deadlines for all work even when working on multiple projects; Show sustained effort and enthusiasm in quality and quantity of work
But we need to preserve the wording exactly. Could separate each bullet.
Alternatively we could keep as prose: Knowledge: Basic curriculum expectations and IEP goals and objectives; Basic teaching strategies
etc. But the instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For knowledge/skills maybe treat as list. We'll use list.
Now Requirements section: include Core Expectations, Weight Demands, Physical Demands, Citizenship requirement.
We need to list them as bullet points.
Core Expectations list each bullet.
Weight Demands: we have a table with Rarely Occasionally Frequently columns and X marks. We need to preserve all substantive info. Could translate to bullet points: Lifting – 1–25 lbs: Rarely? Actually table shows X under Rarely? Let's parse:
Weight Demands
Rarely Occasionally Frequently
Lifting – 1–25 lbs X
Lifting – 26–50 lbs X
Lifting – 50+ lbs X
Carrying – 1–25 lbs X
Carrying – 26–50 lbs X
Carrying – 50+ lbs X
Pushing/Pulling – 1–25 lbs X
Pushing/Pulling – 26–50 lbs X
Pushing/Pulling – 50+ lbs X
It seems each row has X under Rarely? Actually the headings: Rarely Occasionally Frequently. The X appears under Rarely column for each? The formatting ambiguous. Likely each X is under Rarely column meaning those activities are rarely required. We'll preserve as given: we can just copy the table as text? But we need to use
- for list. Could present each line as bullet: "Lifting – 1–25 lbs: Rarely". Similarly for others.
Physical Demands table similar.
We'll convert each row to bullet with frequency.
Let's extract Physical Demands:
Physical Demands
Rarely Occasionally Frequently
Standing X
Sitting X
Walking X
Reaching X
Turning/Twisting X
Balancing/Climbing X
Stooping/Kneeling X
Crouching/Crawling X
Again X under Rarely column.
Thus each activity is Rarely.
We'll produce bullets: "Standing: Rarely", etc.
