Preschool Teacher - Substitute
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But only include sections with real content.
From the posting:
- Job Summary -> could be "About the role" or "Summary". The rule says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). I'll use "About the role" for the summary.
- Job Responsibilities -> "Responsibilities"
- Job Requirements -> "Requirements" (with subsections: Licensing and Certifications, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities). The rule says use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The requirements are listed as bullet points. I'll create a Requirements section with sub-lists? But the rule says use
for section headings. I could have subsections under Requirements with ? The rule only mentions for section headings. It doesn't forbid . But to keep it simple, I'll make "Requirements" as and then use for each category, maybe with a heading inside the list? Better to use for subsections? The instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we can't use other headings. But to be safe, I'll keep only for main sections. I can incorporate the subcategories as separate lists with a leading or just separate with a descriptive intro. However, the content has clear subsections: Licensing and Certifications, Experience, Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities. I could make them separate sections? But they are part of Job Requirements. The rule says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe keep as one Requirements section with multiple lists.
I'll structure:
About the role
...summary...
Responsibilities
Then for each subsection (Classroom Instruction and Activities, Classroom Management, Student Engagement and Support, Safety and Well-Being, Communication and Documentation) I could either make them or just include as separate lists with a heading. Since the rule says use for section headings, and these are subsections, I'll use for them. But the instruction didn't mention . However, it's semantic HTML, so using is fine. But to be safe, I'll follow the pattern: the example headings are top-level. I'll make each responsibility category a separate with a preceding Category
or just include the category as a list item? Better to use for clarity.
Let's see the user's instruction: "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings. I'll use for main sections and for subsections.
Benefits section: there is a Benefits paragraph. I'll include as Benefits
with
.
Pay and Schedule: not mentioned, so omit.
Now, remove boilerplate: EEO statement, pre-employment screening, mission statement (maybe keep mission? It's generic but part of the posting. The user said "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate". The mission statement is not exactly boilerplate, but it's generic marketing. I'll include it as part of "About the role" or separate? The posting has "Our Mission" section. I could include it as a subsection under About the role. But the rule says preserve ALL substantive information. The mission is substantive about the organization. I'll include it as a separate
Our Mission
? But the example headings don't include "Our Mission". The rule says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It's not exhaustive. I can add "Our Mission" as a heading. However, the user said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." The mission is a paragraph. I'll include it under About the role or as a separate section. I'll add it as a separate Our Mission
with
.
But the mission statement is after benefits. Actually the order: Job Summary, Job Responsibilities, Job Requirements, then EEO, Pre-Employment Screening, Our Mission, Benefits. I'll reorder to logical: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Our Mission, Benefits.
Now, the location line at top: "Washington, MO, US, 63090-4804 The Archdiocese of St. Louis strives to teach..." That's part of the description. I'll include that in About the role.
Also, the first paragraph about Cardinal Rigali Center is about the organization. I'll include in About the role.
Now, write HTML.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: combine the first paragraph (location and archdiocese description) and Job Summary.
