TO APPLY: ... (application instructions) - we must remove application instructions. EOE etc - remove. We need to decide sections. We have: - About the role: could be job summary. - Responsibilities: maybe from job summary? Actually responsibilities could be assisting with activities, mealtimes, classroom prep/cleanup, safety, day-to-day operations. Could be separate. - Requirements: maybe education and experience? Or qualifications. - Qualifications: maybe education and experience. - Skills: list of skills. - Benefits: we have benefits. - Pay: salary info. - Schedule: job hours. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual specifics. We need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can combine some. We could have sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (duties), Qualifications (education + experience), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we must ensure each heading has real content. Let's extract content: About the role: Job Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: Could be same as summary? Might be redundant. Perhaps we can combine About the role and Responsibilities into one? But we need headings only when posting has real specific content for it. The posting includes responsibilities implicitly in summary. Could we treat summary as About the role and not have separate Responsibilities? Might be okay. Qualifications: Education and experience. Skills: list of skills and physical requirements. Benefits: as given. Pay: salary. Schedule: job hours. We also have location maybe could be in About the role? Could add location in About the role paragraph? But we should not invent. Could add a short paragraph about location? The posting includes location; we could include it in About the role as part of summary? But summary didn't mention location. We could add a separate
for location under About the role? Might be considered adding info not under a heading? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include location somewhere. Could add a
under About the role that includes location? Or we could create a separate section like "Location" but not in allowed headings list. The allowed headings are only those listed; we cannot create other headings. So we must fit location into one of those sections. Perhaps we can add location to About the role paragraph. Similarly, classification (Academic/Full-Time/Non-Exempt) maybe could be included in About the role or Schedule? Could be part of About the role. We need to preserve all substantive info: classification, position grade, job hours, location, etc. We can embed them in About the role paragraph. Let's craft About the role: includes job summary plus classification, position grade, location, maybe job hours? But schedule separate. Better: About the role includes job summary and classification, position grade, location. Then Schedule section includes job hours. Pay section includes salary. Qualifications includes education and experience. Skills includes skills list and physical requirements. Benefits as given. Now ensure we don't repeat info. Let's extract details: Classification: Academic/Full-Time/Non-Exempt Position Grade: Grade 1 / Grade 2 Location: CAPC Pre-k Classroom (Starbuck 2) Job Summary: The Teacher Aide is responsible for assisting the Master Teacher and Teacher Assistant in implementing age appropriate activities for preschool children; assisting with mealtimes, and participating in classroom preparation and cleanup. The Teacher Aide helps to ensure the safety of the children, and supports the day-to-day operations within the classroom. Experience: Experience working in an early childhood setting preferred. Education: - Grade 1: High School/GED diploma with a plan to complete preschool Child Development Associate (CDA) credential or Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education within 2 years of hire. - Grade 2: Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education or current preschool Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. Skills list: Knowledge of child development; ability to work and interact with young children; ability to observe and record behaviors of children; ability to maintain confidentiality of program and agency related information; strong communication skills (verbal and written); ability to maintain accurate and detailed records; proficient computer skills; ability to work as a member of a team and to cooperate with all Pre-K staff to provide quality programming for children and families; ability to be non-judgmental in working with families. Physical requirements: standing, sitting, walking, must be able to bend or kneel to child's eye level, lift up to 40 pounds; manual dexterity and visual skills required; auditory and verbal skills required for communication with clients, staff and the public. Other: Preference given to qualified in-house applicants. Employment conditional pending satisfactory medical exam and TB test; fingerprint clearance from NYS Education Department at time of hire. Employee required to sign affidavit annually stating not indicated in child abuse or neglect case within past year. CAPC substance-free workplace; random, post-accident and reasonable suspicion drug testing. These "OTHER" items are substantive; we need to preserve them. Where to put? Could be part of Qualifications or Requirements? They are not exactly qualifications but conditions of employment. Could be placed under a section like "Requirements" maybe? But we have allowed headings: Requirements. We could put these under Requirements. However we also have Qualifications. Might be overlapping. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Qualifications and Requirements into one section called "Qualifications" that includes education, experience, and other conditions. Or we could have "Requirements" for the other conditions and "Qualifications" for education/experience. But that may be thin. Better: Have sections: About the role, Responsibilities (maybe we can skip), Qualifications (education + experience + other conditions), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info: The "OTHER" includes preference for in-house applicants, medical exam, TB test, fingerprint clearance, affidavit, substance-free workplace, drug testing. These are conditions of employment; we can include them under Qualifications or maybe a separate section "Requirements". Since we have both Qualifications and Requirements allowed, we could split: Qualifications = education + experience; Requirements = other conditions (clearances, etc). That would give us two sections each with substantive content. Let's do that. Thus sections: - About the role: includes job summary, classification, position grade, location. - Responsibilities: maybe we can extract duties from summary? But summary already covers responsibilities. Could we avoid duplication? The summary already describes responsibilities. If we create Responsibilities section, we would repeat same info. Might be considered duplication but we need to preserve all info; repeating is okay as long as we don't invent or summarize away detail. However we might be repeating same content; but it's still preserving. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Having both About the role and Responsibilities with similar content might be thin. Better to combine. Thus we will have About the role (summary + classification + grade + location). Then Qualifications (education + experience). Then Requirements (other conditions). Then Skills. Then Benefits. Then Pay. Then Schedule. Check each heading has content. Now craft HTML. We need
for each section heading. Inside each, use
for prose,
- for lists.
We must not include any markdown fences.
Let's draft.
