for headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what goes into lists vs paragraphs.
Responsibilities: list of duties. Could be bullet list.
Requirements: maybe list of physical demands, special requirements, schedule flexibility.
Qualifications: education, training, experience requirements (maybe list).
Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities (list).
Benefits: link (maybe
with link).
Pay: wage range (maybe
).
Schedule: part-time, working months 10, shift day (maybe
).
We must preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any.
Let's extract details.
About the role (summary):
"At the direction of the principal, this paraeducator performs a variety of tasks that promote student learning and well-being to support students with Individualized Education Programs (IEP). The paraeducator at this level may be required to participate with students in learning activities off school grounds. The paraeducator may be required to assist students with various needs related to academic, behavioral, social, emotional, and physical support. The paraeducator work is focused on facilitating the student mastery of grade-level curriculum or mastery of Alternate Academic Achievement Standards and managing behaviors that impact the student?s ability to access the curriculum. The students supported at this level may participate in general education classes and/or specialized instructional settings throughout the school day and may be pulled out for individualized or small group reinforcement of instruction. This position also performs a variety of instructional and classroom management supports, as well as related clerical tasks to support teachers and other professional staff in all classrooms or learning environments. All new paraeducators are hired at a grade 15 and have the opportunity to promote to a grade 16 after successfully completing the six-month probationary period and successfully completing the required number of training hours."
That's the core.
Responsibilities: Could be derived from that summary but maybe we separate responsibilities as bullet list:
- Promote student learning and well-being to support students with IEPs.
- Participate with students in learning activities off school grounds.
- Assist students with academic, behavioral, social, emotional, and physical needs.
- Facilitate student mastery of grade-level curriculum or Alternate Academic Achievement Standards.
- Manage behaviors that impact student access to curriculum.
- Support students in general education classes, specialized instructional settings, and individualized/small group reinforcement.
- Provide instructional and classroom management supports.
- Perform related clerical tasks to support teachers and professional staff.
- Continue planned instructional activities during teacher's temporary absence.
We must ensure we don't invent. All these are from text.
Requirements: Physical demands: Frequent bending, walking, and lifting of objects/equipment up to 50 pounds may be required.
Special requirements: Outside duty may be required. Must be able to accommodate flexible scheduling and change of location and/or program, as needed. Continues planned instructional activities during teacher's temporary absence from the classroom. This position may require specific training in order to successfully fulfill the role.
Also maybe "All new paraeducators are hired at a grade 15 and have the opportunity to promote to a grade 16 after successfully completing the six-month probationary period and successfully completing the required number of training hours." That could be qualifications or requirements? It's about grade progression; could be part of qualifications? But it's about hiring grade and promotion after probation and training. Might fit under Qualifications or Requirements. I'd put under Qualifications (since it's about hiring grade and promotion criteria). But we already have Qualifications for education/training/experience. Could also be under Requirements (job requirements). Let's see: The instruction: Use sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for each.
We need to avoid duplication. Let's allocate:
- About the role: summary description (paragraph).
- Responsibilities: bullet list of duties.
- Requirements: bullet list of physical demands, special requirements (outside duty, flexible scheduling, change of location, continue instructional activities during teacher absence, specific training). Also maybe mention grade 15 hiring and promotion after probation and training? That seems more like qualification/condition. But we can include under Requirements as "Initial hiring at grade 15 with potential promotion to grade 16 after six-month probationary period and completion of required training hours." That is a requirement for progression. I'd include.
- Qualifications: Education, Training, And Experience requirements (detailed). Also certificate/license requirements: None.
- Skills: Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities list.
- Benefits: link to benefits.
- Pay: wage range.
- Schedule: part-time, working months 10, shift day.
Also location: Glen Haven Elementary School, Silver Spring. Not a heading but could be included in About the role? Might be extra but not required heading. Could add a paragraph under About the role? But we must not invent sections. We could include location in About the role as part of description? Not present. Better to add a separate paragraph maybe under About the role? But we have no heading for location. Could add a
after About the role? But we must not create extra headings. We could include location in a
under About the role? Not ideal.
Maybe we can add a short
after the About the role paragraph that includes location and organization. Since it's substantive info, we should preserve it. Where to put? Could be part of About the role as a sentence: "Located at Glen Haven Elementary School in Silver Spring." But that would be adding info not originally a sentence but we can rephrase? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. We can rephrase but must not lose detail. Adding a sentence that combines location is okay as long as we don't omit or invent. We can say "This position is located at Glen Haven Elementary School in Silver Spring." That's not invented; it's from the posting. So we can incorporate that into About the role paragraph.
Similarly, job grade 15-16 could be mentioned in About the role or Qualifications. Already we have grade progression in Requirements/Qualifications. We could mention that the position is grade 15-16. Might be better to include in About the role: "This is a grade 15-16 position." That's from posting. We'll add.
Now ensure we don't repeat job title.
Now format.
We'll output:
