Secondary Paraeducator - Resource Support Program

We need to produce HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. We need to extract content: Position Summary, Essential Duties and Responsibilities, Required Qualifications, Additional Requirements, Preferred Qualifications, Condition Of Employment, Knowledge Of, Ability To, Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Related to Cultural Competence and Equity, Physical Demands, Work Conditions, Work Schedule, Reporting Relationships, Representation, Level Of Compensation (benefits), Classification History, Disclaimer (boilerplate). Also there is "POSITION SUMMARY" which is about the role. We need to map to sections: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential duties). Requirements (maybe required qualifications? Actually "Required Qualifications" could be Requirements). Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications). Skills (maybe Ability To, Knowledge Of, Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities). Benefits (Level Of Compensation mentions benefits). Pay (maybe not explicit pay amount; only says "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule." No specific pay; we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not give a numeric pay or range, just says position on salary schedule. That's not specific pay. So we should omit Pay section. Schedule: Work Schedule given: "This is a school year assignment. Hours and days will vary slightly from school to school." That's specific enough? It's not a precise schedule but it's schedule info. We can include Schedule section with that content. We must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from each relevant section. We must use

for section headings. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. We need to decide what constitutes a list. The Essential Duties are a list of items separated by periods. Could be turned into

  • . Similarly Required Qualifications could be list. Additional Requirements maybe list. Preferred Qualifications maybe list. Knowledge Of maybe list. Ability To maybe list. Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Related to Cultural Competence and Equity maybe list. Benefits maybe list (medical, dental, vision, sick and vacation leave, life insurance and retirement). Physical Demands maybe prose? Could be list but it's descriptive. Work Conditions maybe prose. Work Schedule maybe prose. Reporting Relationships maybe prose. Representation maybe prose. Level Of Compensation maybe prose plus benefits list. We must not repeat content unnecessarily. We need to ensure we include all substantive info. Let's parse sections: POSITION SUMMARY: "Resource Support Programs (RSP) are provided to students with identified disabilities who demonstrate an increased need in one or more academic domains. The Paraeducator’s duties will include assisting with special education students ranging in one-on-one to small group instructional activities, under the supervision of the certificated teacher/specialist. Other duties will include assisting with a variety of clerical tasks and the supervision of students assigned." That's about the role. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES include the following. This list is meant to be representative, not exhaustive. Some incumbents may not perform all the duties listed while in other cases related duties may also be assigned. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. Then list: - Tutor individuals and/or groups in specific skills as directed by the teacher. - When trained, will assist the teacher in administering special instructional and or behavioral programs. - Communicate and work with related resource personnel. - Supervise students in accordance with the school and district policies. - Plan daily/weekly with the teachers and other staff members servicing the same students. - Assist students and teacher with record keeping. - Assist the teacher in the communicating with other building/district staff members. - Assist the teacher in communicating with parents. - Discuss information pertaining to students with teacher or other appropriate staff within your building. - Inform the advising teacher to any observed problems or information regarding an individual student. - Give positive reinforcement to students during the school day. - Assist with the room maintenance and control of books and equipment. - Assist substitute teacher with helpful information pertinent to the classroom. - Practice effective safety and security within individual work routines. - Other Responsibilities Perform instructional clerical tasks. - Work collaboratively with District staff and promote teamwork with co-workers. - Assist substitute teacher with helpful information pertinent to the classroom. (duplicate? Actually appears twice; we should deduplicate.) We need to preserve all substantive info but remove duplicated lines. So we should list each unique duty. Let's compile unique duties: 1. Tutor individuals and/or groups in specific skills as directed by the teacher. 2. When trained, will assist the teacher in administering special instructional and or behavioral programs. 3. Communicate and work with related resource personnel. 4. Supervise students in accordance with the school and district policies. 5.

Practice effective safety and security within individual work routines. 15. Perform instructional clerical tasks. 16. Work collaboratively with District staff and promote teamwork with co-workers. (Note: "Assist substitute teacher with helpful information pertinent to the classroom." appears twice; we keep once.) Now Required Qualifications: "EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE: High School Diploma or Equivalent And one of the following: AA degree, OR High school diploma (or equivalent) and 48 college-level semester credits or 72 college-level quarter credits, OR High school diploma (or equivalent) and pass the state approved paraeducator assessment test" We can format as list.

Work Conditions: descriptive paragraph. Work Schedule: "This is a school year assignment. Hours and days will vary slightly from school to school." Reporting Relationships: "Position reports to classroom teacher and/or department head and building principal. Position is evaluated by the building principal or designee." Representation: "Public School Employees Union (PSE) SEIU Local 1948" Level Of Compensation: "Paraeducator position on the PSE Salary Schedule. This position includes the following benefits prorated based on FTE - Medical, dental, vision, sick and vacation leave, life insurance and retirement." Classification History: maybe not needed? It's metadata; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not essential but it's substantive? It's just history; maybe we can drop as it's not essential to role. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Classification History is substantive? It's just update dates; maybe we can include as a short p under a section? But we don't have a heading for it; we could include under "About the role" or maybe not needed. Safer to omit as it's not critical to job description; but it's still info. However we have limited sections; we could add a "Classification History" heading but not in allowed list; we must only use allowed headings. So we cannot add new heading. Could we fold into a paragraph under "About the role"? Might be odd. Probably we can omit as it's not essential to role; but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. However they also say remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, etc. Classification History might be considered boilerplate? It's not legal/EEO etc. It's just update dates. Might be okay to omit. I'd lean to omit. Disclaimer: definitely boilerplate; remove. Now we need to decide which sections to include: - About the role (position summary) -> yes. - Responsibilities (essential duties) -> yes. - Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications) -> yes. - Qualifications (maybe Preferred Qualifications) -> yes. - Skills (maybe Ability To, Knowledge Of, Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Related to Cultural Competence and Equity) -> we could combine into Skills section. - Benefits (from Level Of Compensation) -> yes. - Pay (no explicit pay) -> omit. - Schedule (Work Schedule) -> yes. We also have Condition Of Employment, Knowledge Of, Ability To etc. Those could go under Skills or Requirements. But we need to decide structure. We have headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to map content: - About the role: position summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of essential duties. - Requirements: maybe Required Qualifications (education/experience) plus Additional Requirements? Could also include Condition Of Employment? But Condition Of Employment is more like prerequisites for employment; could be under Requirements as well. However we have separate Qualifications heading for Preferred Qualifications. So Requirements could be Required Qualifications + Additional Requirements + Condition Of Employment? But Condition Of Employment is about employment conditions; maybe better under Requirements. - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. - Skills: Knowledge Of, Ability To, Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Related to Cultural Competence and Equity. - Benefits: list of benefits. - Schedule: work schedule paragraph. We must not repeat content. Ensure we include all. Let's
