RISE Special Education Teacher - 1.0 FTE at John F Kennedy Elementary

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description paragraphs. We need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections with real content. We need to parse the posting: It starts with promotional text: "We want YOU here! Discover the unparalleled support..." That's about the role. Then "Requirements" section includes education level, certification, experience desired, physical requirements, other requirements, certification, alternative certification, youth suicide awareness training. Then "Essential Functions & Duties" list of duties. Then "PAY INFORMATION" with salary range and pay day. Then "HOURS & FTE" schedule. Then "CALENDAR" maybe schedule? Then "BENEFIT INFORMATION". Also "View the complete job description here:" link - we should drop application instructions? The instruction says remove application instructions. The link to view complete job description maybe considered application instruction? Probably drop. Also "Share This Opportunity!" link drop. Also "#hc263860" drop. We need to preserve all substantive info. Use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We need to decide which sections to include. - About the role: The initial promotional paragraph(s) before "Requirements". Could be considered About the role. We'll put that in

  About the role

  with

  containing the text. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions & Duties" list is responsibilities. We'll put

  Responsibilities

  with
  • each duty. - Requirements: The block after "Requirements" includes education level, certification, experience desired, physical requirements, other requirements, certification (again), alternative certification, youth suicide awareness training. That's a mix of requirements and qualifications. We could split into Requirements and Qualifications, but we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into Requirements section with subpoints? But we need to follow instruction: Use headings for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can include both Requirements and Qualifications if there is distinct content. The posting has "Requirements" heading with sub-items; also mentions "Certification" etc. Could treat "Requirements" as the main heading and include all those items. Qualifications maybe not needed separately. Skills: there is a list of skills in "Other Requirements" and also "Skills in human relations..." etc. Could be Skills section. But we might combine. Better to follow the posting: After "Requirements" heading, there are bullet-like lines (though not formatted as list). We can convert each line to
  • . We'll include Requirements section. Then "Essential Functions & Duties" as Responsibilities. Then "PAY INFORMATION" as Pay. Then "HOURS & FTE" as Schedule. Then "BENEFIT INFORMATION" as Benefits. We might also include "Qualifications" if we want to separate certification etc. But we can keep Requirements covering education, certification, experience, physical, other requirements, alternative certification, suicide training. That's fine. Skills: The posting includes "Skills in human relations, leadership and conflict management." etc. That's part of Other Requirements. Could be included in Requirements. Thus we will output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Pay, Schedule, Benefits. Check if any content for Skills separate: Not needed. Now we need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes "View the complete job description here: Special Education Classroom Teacher" - that's application instruction? Probably drop. Also "Share This Opportunity!" link drop. Also "#hc263860" drop. Also "Post-Offer Criminal Background Check Required Relay Services for Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Dial 711, then the desired number" - that's maybe part of benefits? It's under BENEFIT INFORMATION? Actually appears after "View the complete job description here:" line. It's likely boilerplate; we should drop as it's not part of benefits? It mentions Relay Services for Deaf or Hard of Hearing. Could be considered benefit info but it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to drop. Also "CURRENT DISTRICT EMPLOYEES All current District employees interested in applying must complete an application." That's application instruction; drop. Now we need to format. Let's extract text. About the role paragraph: "We want YOU here! Discover the unparalleled support awaiting special education teachers within the Sioux Falls School District!

Now Responsibilities list: The "Essential Functions & Duties" heading then a long list of duties each starting with a capitalized phrase. We need to convert each to
  • . The list includes many items separated by line breaks. We'll capture each. Let's copy the list: Ability to Plan and Prepare Instructional Tasks Plan instructional tasks that are meaningful and related to learning goals Provide Instruction to Students Implement District curriculum Maintain a strong instructional focus utilizing the elements of effective instruction Communicate a high level of expectation Communicate clear learning goals to students Adapt instruction to meet the needs of all students Address various learning styles Sequence content at an appropriate pace Use appropriate level of questioning to promote understanding Relate lesson content to prior and future learning Require students to summarize information in written and/or verbal form Appropriately recognize and reinforce individual student effort Represent knowledge/information non-linguistically through a variety of methods Organize students in cooperative or ability groups when appropriate Require students to analyze and apply knowledge Display enjoyment, humor, and enthusiasm for teaching and expect students to enjoy learning Conduct ongoing assessments for learning Provide Effective Classroom Enviornment Establish appropriate classroom rules and procedures that are clearly understood by all students Effectively and consistently enforce rules and follow procedures Redirect students naturally and immediately without disrupting others Be well-organized and have all materials, equipment, etc., ready for immediate use Carry out smooth and effective transitions (e.g., from one activity to another, as students enter and leave the room) Maximize time on purposeful instructional tasks Begin and end class period with focus on learning Establish a positive learning environment Participate in Professional Growth Opportunities and Demonstrate Professionalism Participate in ongoing professional growth Participate in school/professional and/or community organizations or events Complete routine assigned tasks and comply with District requirements Promote the education profession Communicate effectively and professionally with colleagues, parents and students Conduct parent-teacher conferences in accordance with District policy Follow District and buildign policies and procedures.

Some of this includes URLs and references; we should keep them as text. We should maybe split into sub-sections? But we only have one Requirements heading. We'll put all that content in

    paragraphs or

    • for list items. The content includes headings like EDUCATION LEVEL:, Certification or licensure:, Experience Desired, Physical Requirements, Other Requirements, CERTIFICATION, etc. We could treat each as a

      with bold? But we cannot add extra tags beyond

      ,

      • ,

        . We can embed line breaks inside

        . Probably best to make each bullet as

        under a

        . But the content includes headings that are not list items. We could treat each line after colon as a
        • . Eg:
          • EDUCATION LEVEL: Bachelor's degree and endorsements in the areas of teaching assignment.
