We need to map to sections.
Possible sections:
- About the role: summary description.

- Requirements: education, training, experience, certifications.
- Qualifications: maybe knowledge, skills, abilities? Or could be separate Skills.
- Skills: knowledge, skills, abilities.
- Benefits: mention benefits link.
- Pay: wage range.
- Schedule: part-time, working months 10, shift day, flexible scheduling, outside duty may be required.
We must not create sections with placeholder or generic text. Must include only if real specific content.
Let's extract specifics.
About the role: we can use the summary description: "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 to the curriculum. The students supported at this level typically participate in general education classes and specialized instructional settings throughout the school day and may be pulled out for individualized or small group 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. Paraeducators in this class support the following special education services: PEP, Transition, DHOH, Speech, Vision, Physical Impairments, Elementary Learning Center, Bridge, Autism Resource Services (ARS), Autism Connections."
That's substantive.
Responsibilities: could be the physical demands and special requirements? Or the tasks like assisting, facilitating mastery, managing behavior, instructional supports, clerical tasks, off-school grounds participation, etc. Might be overlapping with About the role. But we need to avoid duplication? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We can split but must not lose info. Could combine About the role and Responsibilities but we need headings only when there is real specific content. We could have About the role (summary) and Responsibilities (detailed duties). Let's extract duties list:
- Perform tasks that promote student learning and well-being to support students with IEP.
- Participate with students in learning activities off school grounds.
- Assist students with academic, behavioral, social, emotional, and physical support.
- Facilitate student mastery of grade-level curriculum or Alternate Academic Achievement Standards.
