Preschool Teacher (Fixed Term)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — 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. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to extract substantive content: Position overview, duties/responsibilities, required qualifications, preferred qualifications, maybe "The Successful Candidate Will" (skills/attributes), maybe "Position Special Requirements/Additional Information", "Physical Demands", "Posting Detail Information" (vacancies, start date, end date, open/close dates, special instructions). Also salary: "$22.00 per hour, commensurate with experience, education, and qualifications". That is pay info; we can include Pay section if posting actually states them. It does state salary, so we can include Pay section. However note: "commensurate with experience" is placeholder? It says "$22.00 per hour, commensurate with experience, education, and qualifications". That's a specific hourly rate plus note. It's not "commensurate with experience" alone; it's a base rate. So we can include Pay section with that sentence.
Schedule: FTE 0.5-0.6 FTE (20-24 hrs weekly). That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Benefits: "Benefits Eligible Eligible". Actually says "Benefits Eligible Eligible". Probably means benefits eligible. So we can include Benefits section stating that the position is benefits eligible.
We need to avoid duplication: The overview appears twice (Brief Position Overview and General Statement). We'll keep one.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, required documents, etc.
We need to keep all substantive info: duties, responsibilities, qualifications, preferred qualifications, successful candidate attributes, position special requirements, physical demands, posting detail info (vacancies, start date, end date, open/close dates, special instructions). Also classification title, working title maybe not needed as heading but could be in a short paragraph.
We need to use
for section headings. Which sections to include? Possibly: About the role (overview), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred?), Skills (maybe from successful candidate attributes), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should avoid thin sections. Could combine some.
We need to decide: Use sections only when there is real specific content. Let's list content:
- Overview/About the role: The ASMSU Early Learning Center is seeking a part-time lead teacher during an exciting period of space renovation and temporary adjustment. The role is intended to start in mid-October and will last until the end of the Spring 2026 semester, with possibility to extend. The lead teacher is responsible for all aspects of ... classroom curriculum planning and implementation; supervision and guidance of children, teacher aides, and MSU students; parent relationships and involvement; classroom environment; safety and health standards. Great opportunity teaching young children!
That's substantive.
- Responsibilities/Duties: list of duties (Manage All Aspects Of The Preschool Classroom etc). We'll put as - .

The requirements listed above are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Physical Demands: This job description should not be construed as an exhaustive statement of duties, responsibilities or requirements, but a general description of the job. Nothing contained herein restricts Montana State University’s rights to assign or reassign duties and responsibilities to this job at any time. This position has supervisory duties? No
- Posting Detail Information: Number Of Vacancies 1; Desired Start Date Upon Completion Of a Successful Search; Position End Date (if Temporary) 05/14/2027; Open Date Close Date Applications Will Be Screening of applications will begin on October 9, 2026; however, applications will continue to be accepted until an adequate applicant pool has been established.; Special Instructions This position is not eligible for sponsorship. Please note that this position is a Fixed Term contract role, starting at the conclusion of a successful search and terminating at the end of Spring 2027 semester. This contract may be eligible for extension dependent on the Center’s needs.
- Salary: $22.00 per hour, commensurate with experience, education, and qualifications.
- Benefits: Benefits Eligible (maybe just "Benefits Eligible").
- Schedule: FTE 0.5-0.6 FTE (20-24 hrs weekly).
We need to avoid duplication: The overview appears twice; we keep one.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO statement, application instructions, required documents, etc.
We need to not repeat job title as heading; we can include classification title and working title in a short paragraph maybe under About the role.
We need to not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The posting includes Position Number 4N1154, Suffix LT, Department Human Development &Community Health Division College of Education, Health & Human Development, Appointment Type Classified Contract Term Fiscal Year Semester, etc. Those are minor metadata; we can include them in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or drop them. The instruction: "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include them in a
maybe after overview.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
Overview text plus maybe classification details.
Responsibilities
- ...
Required Qualifications
- ...
Preferred Qualifications
- ...
Key Attributes
maybe "Skills" heading? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we could have Skills section for the Successful Candidate Will list. Or we could combine Required and Preferred Qualifications under Qualifications. But we need to decide.
We have both Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications; we could make a Qualifications section with two sublists? But we need to use - for any list. Could have
Qualifications
then Required:
... and Preferred:
... That's okay.
Similarly Skills could be separate.
But we need to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Required and Preferred into Qualifications, and combine Successful Candidate Will into Skills. That yields sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections, each substantive.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler text. All have content.
Now we need to write the content.
About the role paragraph: Include overview and maybe classification details.
Overview: "The ASMSU Early Learning Center is seeking a part-time lead teacher during an exciting period of space renovation and temporary adjustment.

The lead teacher is responsible for all aspects of the ASMSU Early Learning Center classroom curriculum planning and implementation; supervision and guidance of children, teacher aides, and MSU students; parent relationships and involvement; classroom environment; safety and health standards. Great opportunity teaching young children!"
Add classification details: maybe "Classification Title: Teacher, Preschool; Working Title: Preschool Teacher (Fixed Term); Department: Human Development & Community Health, College of Education, Health & Human Development; Position Number: 4N1154; FTE: 0.5-0.6 (20-24 hrs weekly); Benefits Eligible." But we already have Benefits and Schedule sections; we could mention FTE there. Better to keep classification details minimal: maybe just mention it's a classified fixed-term position. But we need to preserve all substantive information; classification title and working title are substantive. We can include them in About the role paragraph.
