Riverview Elementary Paraprofessional 09.11.26

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Remove boilerplate. Must preserve all substantive info. No job title heading. No Job ID. No application instructions. No EEO etc. We need to parse the posting. Key info: - Title: SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONAL (but we don't output heading for title) - Pay: Two ranges? Actually they show: "Range $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement, dependent upon previous experience Range $16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience". This seems confusing: maybe two categories? Might be two pay scales? We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state ranges. So we can include Pay section with both ranges? Probably combine: $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement; $16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement. Both dependent on experience. - Benefits: mention retirement (Employee/Employer retirement, Employer-paid retirement). Also maybe other benefits? Not explicit. Could include retirement as benefit. Also maybe mention training? Not benefits. We'll include Benefits section with retirement info. - Schedule: "9 month" mentioned in Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month). Also FLSA Status: NON-EXEMPT. So schedule: 9 month (likely school year). We'll include Schedule section with "9 month (school year)". - About the role: Could be the POSITION SUMMARY. We'll put that as About the role. - Responsibilities: Essential Duties And Responsibilities list. - Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, Physical And Mental Requirements, Working Conditions maybe? But we have Qualifications, Skills sections. We need to decide mapping. We have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to avoid filler. Use

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

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to include the essential duties list (many items). Also include position expectations (knowledge of CPR/AED etc.) maybe under Requirements or Qualifications. Also include Physical And Mental Requirements, Working Conditions. We need to decide what goes where. Let's outline:

  About the role

  Under the supervision of a licensed teacher, works in a special education assisting teaching staff in a variety of instructional activities to provide specially designed instruction to students with disabilities. Assists teachers in providing individual and group functional living, academic skills, vocational and behavioral management support, as well as personal care attendant services to students with various mental, and/or physical disabilities to successfully implement requirements of students individualized education plan (IEP). Additional intensive training beyond what is necessary for a Special Education-Paraprofessional in the areas of student data collection, communication strategies, severe behaviors, and positive behavior management for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cognitive Disabilities or Behavioral Disorders will be required. This person reports directly to the school site administrator.

  That's the POSITION SUMMARY.

  Responsibilities

  • Assists the student(s) in the program to whom they are assigned in such physical tasks as putting on and taking off outerwear, moving from room to room, using the restroom, provide toileting and/or personal hygiene care (i.e. changing diapers), carrying lunch trays, eating, transportation, etc.
  • Assists the student(s) in curriculum tasks as assigned by a certified teacher, carrying out instructional programs and lessons in various learning environments, in and out of the traditional classroom, as designated in the instructional plan based on the IEP and under the direct supervision of the certified teacher.
  • Under the direct supervision of a certified teacher, works with small groups of students to reinforce material initially introduced by the teacher.
  • Accompanies the student(s) to other locations within the school, if the child's disability warrants this type of support.
  • Establishes as fully as possible a supportive relationship with the student(s) without fostering or encouraging intense emotional involvement.
  • Serves as a resource person, if and when requested, to the student's eligibility and IEP teams when conferring about the student whom the paraprofessional is assigned.
  • Assisting individual students in performing activities initiated by the special education or classroom teacher.
  • Assisting the special education teacher in data collection procedures, observing, recording and charting behavior.
  • Monitoring and reporting student(s) progress to the certified personnel.
  • Assist the student in interacting with the available classroom technology & augmentative devices (SmartBoard, iPad, etc.).

  • Ability to commute outside of attendance area as required by certified personnel in order to transport students to programs not available within the student's school of attendance.
  • Ability to take direction from and provide assistance to the Special Education teacher in charge of the special education program.
  • Performs and participates in other related duties as assigned by the building administrator or designee.
  Note: Some items like "Ability to work..." are actually from Position Expectations; but they are still duties/responsibilities? Might be better to put them under Requirements or Skills. However the instruction: Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can include them as list items under Responsibilities if they are duties. But they are more like abilities. Might be better to separate: Position Expectations could go under Requirements or Skills. Let's see. We have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where without inventing. We have: - Education and Training: High school diploma or GED equivalent. Valid driver's license and DMV clearance. - Licenses and Certifications: Must have the ability to complete: Specialized training as needed to meet student needs as outlined in IEP's. Current Crisis Prevention and Restraint Training, First Aid, and CPR Training. Blood borne Pathogen and Universal Precaution Training. - Position Expectations: Knowledge of CPR/AED and Universal Precautions. Ability to work effectively with special needs students. Ability to interpret and apply oral and written instructions. Ability to perform several tasks and determine priorities. Ability to deal with unusual behavior and crisis situations. Ability to learn and apply school rules, regulations, and procedures. Ability to complete routine records. Ability to recognize and report hazards and apply safe work methods. Possess physical and mental stamina commensurate with the responsibilities of the position. Willingness to attend training as it relates to implementation of IEPs. - Physical And Mental Requirements: list of physical demands. - Working Conditions: list of conditions. We could map: Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications. Qualifications: Position Expectations (knowledge, abilities). Skills: Physical And Mental Requirements? Or maybe Skills: abilities like ability to work with students, interpret instructions, etc. But we already used those in Qualifications. Could also put Physical And Mental Requirements under Skills? Hmm. Better: Use Requirements for minimum qualifications (education, license). Use Qualifications for preferred or additional qualifications (position expectations). Use Skills for specific abilities (like ability to lift 50 pounds, operate technology, etc.) But we also have Physical And Mental Requirements which are more like physical demands. We need to avoid filler. We'll include all substantive info. Let's decide:

    We could also include Working Conditions as part of Skills or maybe as a separate section? There's no explicit "Working Conditions" heading in allowed list, but we could put under Skills or Requirements. However we have a section for Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not for Working Conditions. Could incorporate into Skills or Requirements. But we need to preserve all substantive info. Working Conditions includes exposure to climate controlled classroom settings to outside weather, noise levels, crowded environments, frequent lifting, hazards: stress, anxiety, verbal and physical aggression, classroom furniture, playground/office equipment, blood borne pathogens, communicable diseases, chemicals, power/hand operated equipment. We could add these as list items under Skills or maybe under a separate heading like "Working Conditions" but not allowed. The allowed headings are limited to those eight. We could put Working Conditions under Skills as part of physical demands? Might be okay. Alternatively we could create a

    Skills

    and include both physical demands and working conditions. But we also have Benefits: retirement info. Pay: two ranges. Schedule: 9 month. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. Remove. Also remove duplicated lines: The posting had two pay ranges lines repeated? Actually they appear twice? The text: "Range $19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement, dependent upon previous experience Range $16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience". It's just one line with two ranges. We'll include both. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /
