Paraprofessional II (SDC) - Brock Elliott School, 5 hrs./day
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the job posting.
Job Summary: "Under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee, provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives. Works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps. Performs other related duties as assigned."
That's a description; could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities". Probably "About the role" or "Responsibilities". We'll decide.
Requirements / Qualifications: The posting includes a list of documents to attach: Resume, One (1) Letter of Recommendation with signature, One of the following: Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test.
Then Education Requirement: High School Diploma (accredited by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education) or Equivalent AND Forty-eight (48) semester units or Associate Degree or higher or pass proficiency requirements established by the District.
PRE-EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT (At Employee Cost If Hired): TB Clearance, Fingerprinting, Letter(s) of Recommendation, Paraprofessional Testing (Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test. Candidates submitting College Degrees or Transcripts from outside of the United States must also attach a certified evaluation of the document(s) verifying equivalency.)
Resume Comments And Other Information: If selected for this position, you will be required to provide proof of completion of high school or equivalent program. Number of openings at the time of posting: One (1) or more. Available work shift: Monday - Friday, TBD. PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO INTERNAL CANDIDATES. Applications will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on closing date.
Then EEO boilerplate etc which we must remove.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (or Responsibilities), Requirements, Qualifications (maybe combine), Education, Pre-employment Requirements, Additional Information (like number of openings, work shift, preference, deadline). But we must not create sections like Pay, Benefits, Schedule unless posting actually states them. The posting says "Available work shift: Monday - Friday, TBD". That's schedule info but it's TBD (not specific). According to rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we cannot create a Schedule section because it's TBD (unspecified). So we should not include Schedule heading. Similarly, Pay and Benefits not present, so omit.
We can include a section "Additional Information" but that's not in the prescribed list of headings. The allowed headings are: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should stick to those. If we have info that doesn't fit those, we could maybe put under Requirements or Qualifications. The "Number of openings", "Preference internal candidates", "Applications accepted until 4:00 p.m." are not exactly requirements/qualifications but could be placed under a generic "About the role" maybe? But we need to preserve all substantive info. We could include them as a
under "About the role" or maybe under "Requirements". However, the instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., meaning those are examples, not exclusive? It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Likely they expect we use those headings when appropriate. We could also create other headings if needed? The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests using those. Safer to stick to those.
We have content that fits:
- About the role: Job Summary description.
- Responsibilities: Could be same as About the role? Might be redundant. Better to use About the role for summary, and Responsibilities for duties list. But we don't have a explicit list of duties beyond the summary. Could treat the summary as responsibilities.
- Requirements: The list of documents to attach, education requirement, pre-employment requirements.
- Qualifications: Could be similar to Requirements; maybe combine.
But we need to avoid duplication. Perhaps we can have:
About the role
with the job summary paragraph.
Requirements
with a list: Resume, Letter of Recommendation, Proof of AA/BA or 48 semester units or certificate, High School Diploma or equivalent AND 48 semester units or Associate Degree or higher or pass proficiency requirements, Pre-employment: TB Clearance, Fingerprinting, Letter(s) of Recommendation, Paraprofessional Testing (with note about foreign credentials). Also note: If selected, must provide proof of high school completion.
We could also include number of openings, preference internal candidates, deadline under Requirements? Might be odd but could be placed as additional notes.
Alternatively, we could have a separate section "Additional Information" but not in list. Might be okay to use for that as well? The instruction says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say you cannot use other headings, but it's implied to use those. Safer to use only those.
Thus we need to map all info to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: job summary.
- Responsibilities: maybe we can list duties: provides instructional/behavioral support, works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps, performs other related duties as assigned. That's basically the same as summary but we can split.
- Requirements: education and experience requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe the documents to attach (resume, letter of recommendation, proof of degree or proficiency test). Could also include pre-employment requirements.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's think: The posting has "Requirements / Qualifications" heading, then lists documents, then "Education Requirement", then "PRE-EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT". So we could treat "Requirements" as the education and pre-employment, and "Qualifications" as the documents to attach.
Thus:
About the role
Under the direction of the assigned administrator and under the general supervision of teacher and/or other certificated employee, provides instructional/behavioral support to students in accomplishing learning objectives. Works with students of all ages with severe behavioral, physical, language, or learning handicaps. Performs other related duties as assigned.
Responsibilities
maybe we could keep same as above? Might be redundant. Could omit Responsibilities if we think About the role covers it. But we need to include all substantive info; we already have the summary in About the role. If we omit Responsibilities, we are not losing info because it's same. However, we might be missing the nuance of "Performs other related duties as assigned" which is already in summary. So fine.
But we need to ensure we don't leave empty sections. We'll only include sections we have content for.
Now Requirements: Education Requirement: High School Diploma (accredited by the U.S. Department of Education or the Council for Higher Education) or Equivalent AND Forty-eight (48) semester units or Associate Degree or higher or pass proficiency requirements established by the District.
Also PRE-EMPLOYMENT REQUIREMENT (At Employee Cost If Hired): TB Clearance, Fingerprinting, Letter(s) of Recommendation, Paraprofessional Testing (Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test. Candidates submitting College Degrees or Transcripts from outside of the United States must also attach a certified evaluation of the document(s) verifying equivalency.)
We could combine these into a list under Requirements.
Also note: "If selected for this position, you will be required to provide proof of completion of high school or equivalent program." That's similar to education requirement.
Also "Number of openings at the time of posting: One (1) or more" and "Available work shift: Monday - Friday, TBD" (TBD -> we cannot include schedule). "PREFERENCE WILL BE GIVEN TO INTERNAL CANDIDATES." "Applications will be accepted until 4:00 p.m. on closing date."
These are not requirements per se but could be placed under Requirements as additional notes, or maybe under About the role? Might be better to create a section "Additional Information" but not allowed. Could we put them under Requirements as a list? Might be okay.
Qualifications: The documents to attach: Resume, One (1) Letter of Recommendation with signature, One of the following: Proof of AA or BA Degree from a regionally accredited college, 48 Semester units OR Certificate showing successful completion of a basic Paraprofessional proficiency test.
Also note about foreign degree evaluation.
Thus we can have Qualifications section with a list.
Now we must not include boilerplate EEO etc.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Requirements and Qualifications we should use lists.
For About the role we can use
.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings.
Now produce:
