We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections that have real specific content.
From posting: We have description about role, responsibilities, required education/experience/skills, schedule, maybe benefits not mentioned, pay not mentioned. So we should include sections: About the role (maybe "About the role" corresponds to introductory paragraph). Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe "Required Education, Experience, And Skills" includes education, certification, experience, skills). Skills maybe separate but we can combine. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have content: "Make a Difference Every Day! For over 50 years..." That's about the school, maybe "About the role" or "About Lawrence School". The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we can have

We have content: "Make a Difference Every Day! For over 50 years..." That's about the school, maybe "About the role" or "About Lawrence School". The instruction says do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. So we can have About the role
with paragraph describing role and school.
Responsibilities: we have "Key Responsibilities" with many bullet-like sentences. We'll need to convert to - items. We must preserve all substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to list each responsibility as separate
- . The text includes many sentences separated by periods; we can split them.
We need to be careful not to include boilerplate like "Please note: The following description is not intended to be all-inclusive..." That's maybe not substantive? It's a note but could be considered filler. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. This note is not exactly boilerplate but maybe we can keep? It's a disclaimer about description not all-inclusive. Might be considered filler but it's substantive? It's a note about the description; maybe we can keep but it's not a responsibility. Safer to omit as it's not a duty. We'll omit.
Responsibilities list includes many items: "Classroom Instruction and Management Academic Preparation: Prepare thoroughly for each assigned period to ensure content is presented in a structured, systematic way and skill deficits are remediated appropriately." etc. We'll need to parse each bullet.
Let's extract responsibilities from the text:
"Key Responsibilities Classroom Instruction and Management Academic Preparation: Prepare thoroughly for each assigned period to ensure content is presented in a structured, systematic way and skill deficits are remediated appropriately.Specialized Methodology: Utilize specialized Lawrence School instructional methodology and multisensory approaches following appropriate training.Environment: Maintain a highly structured classroom environment that minimizes disruptions and supports all students' unique learning needs.Behavioral Management: Follow Assertive Discipline in responding to student behavior and seek assistance from the Campus Leadership Council when situations are intense or ambiguous.Instructional Support: Integrate diverse learning strategies and adapt classroom technology to enhance the learning experience.Administration: Perform assigned teacher duties (lunch, activity, etc.) consistently and ensure administrative staff has accurate, up-to-date attendance info daily. Preparation and Follow-Up Grading: Input grades into the database weekly, ensuring the current week’s grades are posted for viewing by parents by Friday.Planning: Complete biweekly curriculum maps to plan academic skills instruction, executive function support, and assessments.Reporting: Complete all assigned reports (IEP progress reports, grade reports, etc.) thoroughly and promptly.Compliance: Review and recommend updates to Student Learning Plans; report any case of suspected child abuse or neglect to the Head of Upper School, Division Directors, or Head of School on the same day received.Leadership Collaboration: Communicate effectively and frequently with the Campus Leadership Council on issues related to students, parents, or school operations. Parent Communication & Service Responsiveness: Follow up on parent contacts within 24 hours.Touchpoints: Communicate effectively and frequently with parents, meeting or exceeding contract requirements.Events: Prepare for and participate in parent conference events (November and March) and special meetings related to assigned students. Outside of the Classroom Mission Support: Supports the mission of Lawrence School.Professionalism: Maintain a positive, professional presence in the school while attending school-sponsored activities and when representing Lawrence School in the larger community.Campus Life: Advise at least one extra-curricular or athletic program per year.Professional Growth:Attend and contribute positively to mandatory weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings.

Perform other work-related duties as assigned."
We need to split into list items. Could keep each sentence as an item. Might be many items but okay.
Next: Required Education, Experience, And Skills section. We'll have maybe
Requirements
with subpoints? Could also have Qualifications
and Skills
. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into one Requirements
containing education, certification, experience, skills as - . Or we could have separate headings if content is substantive. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So better to have one Requirements section covering all.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule.
We have schedule details: "Schedule: Ten-month position following the academic calendar. The workload extends beyond 8:15 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. to include planning, grading, and professional development regardless of contract hours. Mondays: 8:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Tuesday–Friday: 8:15 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. Note: Participates in evening and weekend events as needed to support students and the operation of the school as a whole."
That's substantive, so include Schedule section.
Pay and Benefits not present, so omit.
Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
We'll produce:
About the role
... paragraph ...
Responsibilities
- ...

Requirements

Schedule
... schedule paragraph ...
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's craft the About the role paragraph: combine the introductory sentences: "Make a Difference Every Day! For over 50 years, Lawrence has delivered academic excellence to students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and ADHD. Through continuous on-site training and professional development, our faculty become true experts in how students process information. Here, small class sizes and a supportive environment create a foundation for unparalleled success—for both students and teachers alike. Lawrence is a proud member of NAIS, ALDS, OAIS, and CCIS, and is fully accredited by ISACS. We are currently seeking a highly-qualified, charismatic, and inspiring educator to teach Middle School Science (Grades 7–8) at our Sagamore Hills Campus. This person will be responsible for planning and implementing engaging and inclusive lessons in Middle School Science tailored to the individual needs of students with learning differences."
That seems good.
Now Responsibilities list items: We'll break each sentence after colon maybe.
Let's list them:
1. Prepare thoroughly for each assigned period to ensure content is presented in a structured, systematic way and skill deficits are remediated appropriately.
2. Utilize specialized Lawrence School instructional methodology and multisensory approaches following appropriate training.
3. Maintain a highly structured classroom environment that minimizes disruptions and supports all students' unique learning needs.
4. Follow Assertive Discipline in responding to student behavior and seek assistance from the Campus Leadership Council when situations are intense or ambiguous.
5. Integrate diverse learning strategies and adapt classroom technology to enhance the learning experience.
6. Perform assigned teacher duties (lunch, activity, etc.) consistently and ensure administrative staff has accurate, up-to-date attendance info daily.
7. Input grades into the database weekly, ensuring the current week’s grades are posted for viewing by parents by Friday.
8. Complete biweekly curriculum maps to plan academic skills instruction, executive function support, and assessments.
9. Complete all assigned reports (IEP progress reports, grade reports, etc.) thoroughly and promptly.
10. Review and recommend updates to Student Learning Plans; report any case of suspected child abuse or neglect to the Head of Upper School, Division Directors, or Head of School on the same day received.
11. Communicate effectively and frequently with the Campus Leadership Council on issues related to students, parents, or school operations.
12. Follow up on parent contacts within 24 hours.
13. Communicate effectively and frequently with parents, meeting or exceeding contract requirements.
14. Prepare for and participate in parent conference events (November and March) and special meetings related to assigned students.
15. Supports the mission of Lawrence School.
16. Maintain a positive, professional presence in the school while attending school-sponsored activities and when representing Lawrence School in the larger community.
17. Advise at least one extra-curricular or athletic program per year.
18. Attend and contribute positively to mandatory weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) meetings.
19. Inform the Academic Dean and Division Director at least 24 hours in advance if a schedule conflict arises.
20. Treats each student, co-worker, parent, and community member with consistent respect and actively seeks opportunities for cooperation and collaboration.
21. Maintain accurate records; complete and submit required paperwork to the proper office according to the deadline.
22. Perform other work-related duties as assigned.
We need to ensure we didn't miss any: also "Classroom Instruction and Management" heading but we covered.
Now Requirements: extract from "Required Education, Experience, And Skills Education: Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Science Education or a related field; teaching certification is required.Certification: ODEW Teacher certification required. (Intervention Specialist K-12 preferred; Non-tax certification considered).The "Lawrence" Heart: An intrinsic desire to celebrate students who learn differently, relate to their experiences, and honor their perspectives.Experience: Experience in teaching and engaging with middle school students.Key Skills & Knowledge:Proficiency in lesson planning and curriculum development tailored to diverse learning needs.Strong communication skills and good classroom management.Familiarity with instructional strategies for students with learning differences (multisensory, differentiated instruction).Experience with classroom technology and a passion/patience for neurodiverse learners."
We'll create list items:
- Minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Science Education or a related field; teaching certification is required.
- ODEW Teacher certification required (Intervention Specialist K-12 preferred; Non-tax certification considered).
- An intrinsic desire to celebrate students who learn differently, relate to their experiences, and honor their perspectives (the "Lawrence" Heart).
- Experience in teaching and engaging with middle school students.
- Proficiency in lesson planning and curriculum development tailored to diverse learning needs.
- Strong communication skills and good classroom management.
- Familiarity with instructional strategies for students with learning differences (multisensory, differentiated instruction).
- Experience with classroom technology and a passion/patience for neurodiverse learners.
We could also separate "Education", "Certification", etc but list items fine.
Now Schedule paragraph: combine: "Ten-month position following the academic calendar. The workload extends beyond 8:15 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. to include planning, grading, and professional development regardless of contract hours. Mondays: 8:15 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.; Tuesday–Friday: 8:15 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. Participates in evening and weekend events as needed to support students

. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine into oneRequirements

Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Schedule.

That's substantive, so include Schedule section.
Pay and Benefits not present, so omit.
