RISE Special Education Teacher - 1.0 FTE at Marcella LeBeau Elementary
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a 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 parse the posting.

We need to remove boilerplate: application instructions, share link, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove "View the complete job description here: Special Education Classroom Teacher" maybe considered boilerplate? It's a link to full description; we can drop.
We need to keep substantive info: mission description, requirements (education, certification, experience, physical, other), essential functions/duties (list), professional growth (list), case management duties (maybe part of essential functions?), pay info, hours & FTE, benefits info.
We need to decide sections: About the role (maybe the introductory paragraph). Responsibilities (essential functions & duties). Requirements (education, certification, experience, physical, other). Qualifications? Could combine with requirements. Skills? Could be part of requirements. Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need to avoid thin sections: maybe combine some.
We need to use
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits.
We need to use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading.
We must not include Job ID etc.
We must not include filler sections.
We need to preserve all substantive info.
Let's extract substantive info:
Intro paragraph: "We want YOU here! At Marcella LeBeau Elementary School, we believe every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and inspired to learn. Our staff is committed to creating a welcoming environment where strong relationships, high expectations, and a love of learning help students thrive each day. As a growing school community, Marcella LeBeau Elementary offers a unique opportunity to make a lasting impact while working alongside a collaborative team dedicated to student success. If you are passionate about supporting children, building meaningful connections, and helping shape the future of a vibrant school community, we would love to have you join our team."
That's prose.
Then link: "Learn more about what it means to be a MLB Bear at: https://www.mles.sf.k12.sd.us/o/mle" Might be considered supplementary but not essential; could be dropped as it's a link. Probably we can drop as it's not substantive content about job.
Then "Requirements" heading with content:
- EDUCATION LEVEL: Bachelor's degree and endorsements in the areas of teaching assignment.
- Certification or licensure: South Dakota teaching certificate
- Experience Desired: At least one year of work experience in a position requiring interpersonal interaction skills and knowledge of strategies to support students with challenging behaviors.
- Physical Requirements: Constant hand-eye and mind-eye coordination and hearing; intermittent speaking, standing, walking and writing. The ability to provide physical management to students with behavior or self-care needs.
- Other Requirements: Excellent oral and written communication skills. Skills in human relations, leadership and conflict management. Knowledgeable of teaching techniques that meet the diverse needs of students. Demonstrated skills in computer word processing, spreadsheets and databases. Knowledge in implementation of IEP process and special education law. Training in assessment and interpretation of information.
We could turn these into a list under Requirements.
Then "Essential Functions & Duties" list: many items each starting with a capitalized phrase. We need to list them as
- .
Then "Participate in Professional Growth Opportunities and Demonstrate Professionalism" list.
Then "Case manages student individual education programs (IEP) to meet specialized needs of students with disabilities..." etc. This seems like additional duties; could be part of essential functions.
Then Pay info: "Starting at $53,981 to $60,793 per year, based on experience. View the complete salary schedule here: 2026-2027 Teacher Salary Schedule Pay Day: Last working day of each month."
We need to keep pay range and pay day. The link to salary schedule maybe can be dropped as it's a reference.
Then Hours & FTE: "Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:00 pm 1.0 FTE, 40 hours per week, 9 months CALENDAR 2026-2027 New SFEA Staff Calendar". Keep schedule: Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm, 1.0 FTE, 40 hours per week, 9 months.
Then Benefits: "Benefits (only for positions 20 hours per week or more) CURRENT DISTRICT EMPLOYEES All current District employees interested in applying must complete an application. Post-Offer Criminal Background Check Required Relay Services for Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Dial 711, then the desired number". The part about current district employees and application is boilerplate; we can drop. Keep benefits statement: "Benefits (only for positions 20 hours per week or more)". Also maybe mention Post-Offer Criminal Background Check Required? That's a requirement, not benefit. Could be included under Requirements? Might be considered a requirement. But we can keep as a note under Requirements? However it's not a benefit. The instruction says to remove boilerplate like application instructions. The criminal background check is a requirement; we could keep under Requirements as "Post-Offer Criminal Background Check Required". But it's not explicitly listed as a requirement earlier; we can include.
We also have "Relay Services for Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Dial 711, then the desired number" - that's contact info; maybe drop as not substantive.
We need to avoid duplication.
Now decide sections:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (Essential Functions & Duties + Professional Growth + Case management duties)
- Requirements (Education, Certification, Experience, Physical, Other Requirements, plus maybe Criminal Background Check)
- Pay (salary range, pay day)
- Schedule (hours, FTE, months)
- Benefits (benefits statement)
We need to ensure we don't create thin sections; each has substantive content.
Now format.
We need to use
for each section heading.
Inside sections, we can have
for prose, and
- for lists.
For Requirements, we have multiple items; we can make a list.
For Responsibilities, we have many items; we can make a list.
For Benefits, we have a short statement; we can use
.
For Pay, we have prose; we can use
.
For Schedule, we have prose; we can use
.
Now we need to extract the exact text for each item, preserving all substantive info, not inventing or summarizing.
Let's list responsibilities items exactly as they appear in the posting under "Essential Functions & Duties". The text:
"Ability to Plan and Prepare Instructional TasksPlan instructional tasks that are meaningful and related to learning goals Provide Instruction to StudentsImplement District curriculumMaintain a strong instructional focus utilizing the elements of effective instructionCommunicate a high level of expectationCommunicate clear learning goals to studentsAdapt instruction to meet the needs of all studentsAddress various learning stylesSequence content at an appropriate paceUse appropriate level of questioning to promote understandingRelate lesson content to prior and future learningRequire students to summarize information in written and/or verbal formAppropriately recognize and reinforce individual student effortRepresent knowledge/information non-linguistically through a variety of methodsOrganize students in cooperative or ability groups when appropriateRequire students to analyze and apply knowledgeDisplay enjoyment, humor, and enthusiasm for teaching and expect students to enjoy learningConduct ongoing assessments for learning Provide Effective Classroom EnviornmentEstablish appropriate classroom rules and procedures that are clearly understood by all studentsEffectively and consistently enforce rules and follow proceduresRedirect students naturally and immediately without disrupting othersBe well-organized and have
