We need to output HTML fragment with headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the description.
Key sections:
- About the role: maybe a paragraph describing role? The posting includes "THE ROLE" with bullet list of responsibilities. So we could have About the role as a short paragraph summarizing role? But we need to follow instruction: Use
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the description.
Key sections:
- About the role: maybe a paragraph describing role? The posting includes "THE ROLE" with bullet list of responsibilities. So we could have About the role as a short paragraph summarizing role? But we need to follow instruction: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (maybe a brief description), Responsibilities (list), Requirements (maybe "MUST HAVES" list), Qualifications (maybe "THE PERSON" traits?), Skills (maybe list of skills?), Benefits (the perks), Pay (compensation), Schedule (position type: 10-month, start date). Need to ensure we only include sections if posting has real specific content.
Let's extract:
Position: Teaching Assistant
Reports to: Principal
Position type: 10-month
Start date: 26-27 School Year (likely 2026-2027)
Compensation: $15.25 - $18.96 per hour
About the role: maybe a paragraph summarizing: "Assist Special Education and General Education teachers..." but that's responsibilities. Could have About the role as a short paragraph: "The Teaching Assistant supports teachers in instructional and behavioral settings, assists with data collection, lesson adaptation, student support, and other duties." That is derived from responsibilities but we need to preserve all substantive info; we can't invent. However we can paraphrase but must preserve info. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we cannot summarize away detail; we need to keep the details. That suggests we should not create an About the role section that summarizes; we should instead put the details under Responsibilities. But they ask to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, etc. We could still have About the role with a brief paragraph that is not summarizing away detail? That would be summarizing. Might violate. Better to maybe omit About the role if no specific content beyond what's in Responsibilities. But they said "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we don't have specific content for About the role beyond what's in Responsibilities, we could omit it. However they gave example list of possible headings; not required to include all. So we can choose to include only those with content.
Thus we can have:
- Responsibilities (Responsibilities
list items)
- Requirements (Requirements
list of MUST HAVES)
- Qualifications (Qualifications
maybe THE PERSON traits? But those are more like desired traits; could be Skills or Qualifications. We need to decide.
- Skills (Skills
maybe list of abilities: ability to physically assist, maintain emotional control, work urgently, juggle multiple tasks, work on team, dedication to learn, etc.)
- Benefits (Benefits
list of perks: health insurance, retirement, PTO, paid leave, professional development, award-winning culture, etc.)
- Pay (Pay
$15.25 - $18.96 per hour
) (maybe also note non-exempt hourly, commensurate with experience but that's filler; we should not include "commensurate with experience" as it's placeholder? It's actual text but maybe considered filler? It says "offers commensurate with experience." That's specific but maybe we can include as part of Pay paragraph: "$15.25 - $18.96 per hour (commensurate with experience)". However instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). So we should not include that phrase. So just the range.
- Schedule (Schedule
10-month position; start date: 2026-2027 school year
) Also maybe reports to principal? Could be included in About the role? But we could add a short paragraph under Schedule? Actually schedule section is for schedule info; we can include position type and start date. Reports to principal maybe not needed.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
Let's extract responsibilities list exactly as given:
- Assisting Special Education and General Education Teacher(s) with the supervision of students in all instructional settings;
- Assisting Special Education and General Education Teacher(s) with behavior management techniques by demonstrating, modeling, and positively reinforcing desired behaviors;
- Maintaining data as identified by teacher(s), students’ IEP goals, and/or Behavior Intervention Plans;
- Assisting in tailoring lessons to meet an individual student’s needs;
- Supporting Special Education and General Education teacher(s) with lesson plans by practicing and reinforcing learning concepts;
- Assisting students in performing self-help and academic skills;
- Assisting with administration and scoring of tests and work assignments;
- Assisting Special Education and General Education Teacher(s) with implementation of accommodations and/or modifications;
- Adapting classroom activities, assignments, and/or materials to support and reinforce classroom objectives;
- Monitoring students during transition times throughout the school day, inside and outside of the classroom;
- Additional duties as assigned.
We need to keep the semicolons? Probably we can keep as list items without trailing semicolon.
Now Requirements: MUST HAVES list:
- High School Diploma
- At least 2 years of relevant work experience
- Interest in working one-on-one with a student with significant needs, including medical needs
- Ability to physically assist students with self-help, mobility, academic, and behavioral skills
- Belief in and commitment to the mission and core value of YES Prep Public Schools
- Openness to giving and receiving frequent feedback
- Ability to maintain emotional control under stress
- Ability to work urgently in a fast-paced and results-oriented environment
- Ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once
- Demonstrated ability to work on a team
- A dedication to learn, grow, and develop as a professional
Also there is "THE MUST HAVE BELIEFS" list: but those are similar to belief statements; could be included under Requirements or Qualifications. Might be considered part of Requirements. But we can treat them as part of Requirements as well. However they are more beliefs; but we can include them under Requirements as they are required beliefs.
List:
- Belief in and commitment to the mission and core value of YES Prep Public Schools (already listed)
- Desire to disrupt systemic status quos in education
- Willingness to go above and beyond to disrupt said status quos
- Passion to develop resiliency through a relentless pursuit of jaw-dropping results
- Conviction that high expectations + high accountability = high performance and high growth
But note the first belief duplicates earlier; we can keep but maybe deduplicate. We'll keep unique items.
Now Qualifications: maybe "THE PERSON" traits: passion for the mission, drive for results, care for students, resilience, humility. Also other traits needed and desired: those are similar to requirements. Might be overlapping. To avoid duplication, we could treat Qualifications as the "THE PERSON" traits that are not already in Requirements. Let's extract:
- Passion for the mission
- Drive for results
- Care for students
- Resilience
- Humility
Also "Other traits needed and desired for this role are:" then list of MUST HAVES (which we already used). So Qualifications could be those traits.
Thus we can have Qualifications (Qualifications
list of passion, drive, care, resilience, humility
).
Skills: maybe list of abilities like ability to physically assist, maintain emotional control, work urgently, juggle multiple tasks, work on team, dedication to learn, etc. But many of those are already in Requirements. Might be overlapping. To avoid duplication, we could treat Skills as the specific abilities: ability to physically assist students with self-help, mobility, academic, and behavioral skills; ability to maintain emotional control under stress; ability to work urgently in a fast-paced and results-oriented environment; ability to juggle multiple tasks and initiatives at once; demonstrated ability to work on a team; dedication to learn, grow, and develop as a professional. However these are similar to requirements. Might be okay to have some overlap but we need to preserve all substantive info; duplication is allowed as long as we don't invent. The instruction didn't forbid duplication, but we should avoid unnecessary duplication? Not explicitly forbidden. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we might combine.
Better to have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements (including must-haves and beliefs), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Possibly also Qualifications (the person traits). Skills maybe not needed.
Let's decide:
- Responsibilities: list.
- Requirements: list of MUST HAVES + MUST HAVE BELIEFS (unique).
- Qualifications: list of THE PERSON traits (passion, drive, care, resilience, humility).
- Benefits: list of perks.
- Pay: compensation range.
- Schedule: position type and start date.
We must not include boilerplate like "Equal opportunity employer". Remove.
Now we need to format HTML.
We'll output:
Responsibilities
- Assisting Special Education and General Education Teacher(s) with the supervision of students in all instructional settings
...
Similarly for others.
Check for any duplicated lines: ensure we don't repeat same bullet.
Now compile Requirements list:
