Education$19.89/hrPart-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: only those with real content. The posting includes: about? There's a mention of Forbes and East Valley Tribune awards. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization"? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- Employment Type: Part-time (29 hours per week)
- Base Hourly: $19.89
- Class/Calendar: B21, 9.25 months
- Benefits: None
- Performance Pay: Available annually
- New Hire Experience: 1% of base hourly rate granted for each year of verified like experience (within ten years) beyond the requirement, up to a ten-year maximum
- New Hire Education: 1% of the base hourly rate awarded for an AA or higher degree if not required for the position
These are pay-related details. So we can have a Pay section (maybe "Pay") containing these details. Also maybe a Schedule section: Part-time (29 hours per week) and Class/Calendar: B21, 9.25 months (maybe schedule). Could combine.
Benefits: None – we should not create a Benefits section if it's just "None" (that's placeholder). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state Benefits: None. That's stating them, but it's "None". Is that considered filler? It says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". "None" could be considered placeholder? It's a specific statement: Benefits: None. That's not placeholder like N/A? It's a definite answer. I'd say we can include Benefits section with "None". But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might be okay to include Benefits with "None". However, they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state Benefits: None, so we can include.
But also we have Performance Pay: Available annually – that's pay-related.
New Hire Experience/Education are also pay adjustments.
Thus Pay section could contain: Base Hourly $19.89, Employment Type Part-time (29 hrs/week) maybe schedule, Class/Calendar B21, 9.25 months, Benefits None, Performance Pay Available annually, New Hire Experience..., New Hire Education...
Alternatively separate Schedule section for Part-time (29 hours per week) and Class/Calendar B21, 9.25 months.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- About the role? There's a Job Summary paragraph. That could be under "About the role" or maybe "Job Summary". The instruction list includes About the role as example heading. So we can put Job Summary under About the role.
- Responsibilities: there is a big list of Key Responsibilities. Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide which sections have content.

Alternatively separate Schedule section for Part-time (29 hours per week) and Class/Calendar B21, 9.25 months.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. No Job ID.
We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content.
We have:
- About the role? There's a Job Summary paragraph. That could be under "About the role" or maybe "Job Summary". The instruction list includes About the role as example heading. So we can put Job Summary under About the role.
- Responsibilities: there is a big list of Key Responsibilities. Use - .
- Requirements: there are Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction list includes Requirements, Qualifications. We can combine: maybe Requirements section for Required Qualifications, and Qualifications section for Preferred? Or just one Qualifications section containing both required and preferred. But we need to avoid thin sections. Could have a single "Qualifications" section with subheadings? Not allowed; only
headings. Could have two sections: Requirements (for required) and Qualifications (for preferred). That seems okay.
- Skills: there is Skills & Competencies bullet list. Use Skills section.
- Work Environment & Physical Requirements: could be under maybe "Work Environment". Not in the list but we could create a section? The instruction only gave examples but not limited to those. It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Probably better to include Work Environment under maybe "Requirements" or "Qualifications"? But it's distinct. Could add a section "Work Environment". Not in examples but likely acceptable. However they said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Adding many sections may be thin. Work Environment is a paragraph; could be included under Requirements or maybe under About the role? Might be okay to add a section.
But we need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include that info somewhere.
Let's plan sections:
- About the role (Job Summary)
- Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Required Qualifications)
- Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications)
- Skills (Skills & Competencies)
- Pay (Base Hourly, Employment Type, Class/Calendar, Benefits, Performance Pay, New Hire Experience, New Hire Education)
- Schedule? Could be part of Pay or separate. Since we have Employment Type and Class/Calendar, we could put them under Schedule. But Pay already has many items; maybe better to have Schedule section for Employment Type and Class/Calendar, and Pay for base hourly, benefits, performance pay, new hire adjustments. However the instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Having both Pay and Schedule may be okay if each has substantive content.
Let's see content:
Pay: Base Hourly $19.89, Benefits None, Performance Pay Available annually, New Hire Experience (1% per year...), New Hire Education (1% for AA or higher). That's substantive.
Schedule: Employment Type Part-time (29 hours per week), Class/Calendar B21, 9.25 months. That's also substantive.
Thus we can have both.
Benefits: we have Benefits None, but we already included in Pay. Could also have Benefits section but that would be thin. Better to include Benefits under Pay.
Thus final sections:
- About the role
- Responsibilities
- Requirements
- Qualifications
- Skills
- Pay
- Schedule
Check each for placeholder: none are placeholder.
Now we need to format.
Use for each heading.
Under each heading, put appropriate content:
for prose,
- for lists.
For About the role: Job Summary paragraph. Use
.
For Responsibilities: list of duties. The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences separated by spaces. We need to split into list items. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn the responsibilities into list items. Each duty seems separated by spaces but we can split by sentences. We'll need to extract each duty.
Let's parse responsibilities text:
"Deliver, under teacher’s direction, classroom work/homework and/or reinforce classroom objectives, provide 1:1 and/or small group instruction tailored to student IEP goalsAssist the development of instructional materials and maintenance of the classroomProactively collect and monitor data related to academic and behavioral goals, demonstrating initiative and accountability while utilizing district-approved tools and systemsAssist in modifying curriculum to meet individual learning needsImplement positive behavior intervention plans for students who display challenging behaviors including verbal and physical aggressionActively monitor and respond to problem behaviors according to the student’s positive behavior intervention plan and district crisis intervention policyAct in accordance with district crisis intervention policy while implementing, ASPEN protocols, first aide, CPR (training provided)Model and maintain use of de-escalation strategies to support students in behavioral and emotional distressTransfer and/or lift non-ambulatory students to assist them in the performance of their daily activitiesAssist students with personal hygiene to provide for and/or develop students’ daily living activities and behavioral skillsAssist students who need support in addressing personal care needs due to a severe medical condition and/or physical limitations (i.e. toileting, diapering, feeding, dressing suctioning, etc) to ensure their functioning in a school environmentPerform and act in accordance with training as required by the health officeAccompany students as they transition across campus including but not limited to arrival and dismissalMonitor individual and/or small student groups in classroom and/or on the playground to maintain a safe and positive learning environment; facilitate peer interactionsMaintain classroom and student equipment to ensure a safe environmentModel professional, safe, responsible and respectful behaviorPerform general clerical tasks to support the teacher in the maintenance of student files and to provide classroom materialsPerform Medicaid billing in school programs (training provided)Participate in various meetings to share information and/or improve one’s skills and/or knowledgeSolicit feedback for continuous improvement and participate in professional learning and district led professional developmentCollaborate with the SPED team focused on meeting student IEP goalsRegular and on-time attendance requiredPerform other related duties, as assigned, to ensure the efficient and effective functioning of the work unitAssist other personnel as may be required for the purpose of supporting them in the completion of their work activitiesAssists with other assigned duties as appropriate to the area of assignment and Mesa Public Schools"
We need to split into sensible list items. Could break at each capital letter start of a new sentence (but some are missing spaces). We'll approximate by splitting at each verb phrase before a capital letter that starts a new duty. Let's manually create list items:
1. Deliver, under teacher’s direction, classroom work/homework and/or reinforce classroom objectives, provide 1:1 and/or small group instruction tailored to student IEP goals
2. Assist the development of instructional materials and maintenance of the classroom
3. Proactively collect and monitor data related to academic and behavioral goals, demonstrating initiative and accountability while utilizing district-approved tools and systems
4. Assist in modifying curriculum to meet individual learning needs
5. Implement positive behavior intervention plans for students who display challenging behaviors including verbal and physical aggression
6. Actively monitor and respond to problem behaviors according to the student’s positive behavior intervention plan and district crisis intervention policy
7. Act in accordance with district crisis intervention policy while implementing ASPEN protocols, first aid, CPR (training provided)
8. Model and maintain use of de-escalation strategies to support students in behavioral and emotional distress
9. Transfer and/or lift non-ambulatory students to assist them in the performance of their daily activities
10. Assist students with personal hygiene to provide for and/or develop students’ daily living activities and behavioral skills
11. Assist students who need support in addressing personal care needs due to a severe medical condition and/or physical limitations (i.e. toileting, diapering, feeding, dressing, suctioning, etc) to ensure their functioning in a school environment
12. Perform and act in accordance with training as required by the health office
13. Accompany students as they transition across campus including but not limited to arrival and dismissal
14. Monitor individual and/or small student groups in classroom and/or on the playground to maintain a safe and positive learning environment; facilitate peer interactions
15. Maintain classroom and student equipment to ensure a safe environment
16. Model professional, safe, responsible and respectful behavior
17. Perform general clerical tasks to support the teacher in the maintenance of student files and to provide classroom materials
18. Perform Medicaid billing in school programs (training provided)
19. Participate in various meetings to share information and/or improve one’s skills and/or knowledge
20. Solicit feedback for continuous improvement and participate in professional learning and district led professional development
21. Collaborate with the SPED team focused on meeting student IEP goals
22. Regular and on-time attendance required
23. Perform other related duties, as assigned, to ensure the efficient and effective functioning of the work unit
24. Assist other personnel as may be required for the purpose of supporting them in the completion of their work activities
25. Assists with other assigned duties as appropriate to the area of assignment and Mesa Public Schools
That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements: Required Qualifications: "Associate’s degree or 60 college credit hours required at time of hire OR pass the ParaPro Test provided by
headings. Could have two sections: Requirements (for required) and Qualifications (for preferred). That seems okay.
- Skills: there is Skills & Competencies bullet list. Use Skills section.
- Work Environment & Physical Requirements: could be under maybe "Work Environment". Not in the list but we could create a section? The instruction only gave examples but not limited to those. It says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule).
