Special Ed Instructional Assistant - Ancillary (1:1)/CDC
or drop it." So we can include a short
with role, department, etc? But we should preserve all substantive information. The role is given; we can include it in a paragraph. Education: "Targeted job-related education that meets the organization's requirements" – vague. Might be considered filler? It says "Targeted job-related education that meets the organization's requirements". That's not specific. Might be considered placeholder? It says "Targeted job-related education that meets the organization's requirements". That is somewhat generic but still info. However we also have Certificates & Licenses section with specifics. Department/Group: Student Supports - Special Education Certificates & Licenses: Must have two years of college credit (48 semester credit hours from an accredited university, excluding remedial courses); an Associate's Degree from an accredited university; or a passing score on the Para-Pro exam. Must have or be willing to obtain First Aid and CPR certification and De-escalation and Restraint certification. Required Testing: Pre-employment Physical Exam Level/Salary Range: Support Salary Schedule (Inst. Asst. SPED IA II with or w/o cert.) Continuing Education/Training: None Specified HR Contact: HR Director or HR Generalist Position Type: Full Time Job Category: Classified Clearances: Criminal Justice Fingerprint/Background Clearance. Passing score on the Para-Pro exam in lieu of college credit FLSA Status: Non-Exempt Purpose: paragraph. Then sections: Monitoring Review: Annually (maybe not needed). Descriptor Term: Special Education - Special Education Instructional Assistant II (SPED IA II) Then SLE Program Purposes: paragraph. Essential Functions: long list. WORK ENVIRONMENT Physical Demands Required: paragraph. Temperament (Personal Traits): paragraph. Then note about review. We need to decide which sections to output as h3 headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must map content to these headings. The instruction: "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we should use those exact headings when we have content. We need to decide which sections are appropriate. We have: - About the role: could include purpose, role description, department, position type, etc. - Responsibilities: essential functions list. - Requirements: education, certificates, clearances, testing, etc. - Qualifications: maybe overlapping with requirements; but we can combine. - Skills: maybe temperament, adaptability, etc. - Benefits: not specified; we have none. So we should not include Benefits heading. - Pay: we have Level/Salary Range: Support Salary Schedule (Inst. Asst. SPED IA II with or w/o cert.) That's specific enough? It mentions salary schedule but not actual numbers. It's still substantive: "Support Salary Schedule (Inst. Asst. SPED IA II with or w/o cert.)". That is a specific reference. So we can include Pay section. - Schedule: Position Type: Full Time. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule. We also have HR Contact, but that's minor metadata; could be folded into a short p or dropped. Probably drop. We have Continuing Education/Training: None Specified – that's placeholder; we should not include. We have Monitoring Review: Annually – maybe not needed. We have Descriptor Term: maybe not needed. We have SLE Program Purposes: could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's description of program; could be included in About the role. We need to preserve all substantive information; we must not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all the details from the posting, but we can reorganize under headings. We must not repeat job title as heading. So we can start with a
containing the role and department maybe. Let's outline:
Role: SPED Instructional Assistant II (SPED IA II). Department/Group: Student Supports - Special Education. Position Type: Full Time. Job Category: Classified. FLSA Status: Non-Exempt. HR Contact: HR Director or HR Generalist.
But we might drop HR Contact as minor metadata; but we need to preserve all substantive info. The instruction says "fold minor metadata into a shortor drop it." So we can either include in a short p or drop. Safer to include in a short p. Now sections:
About the role
Purpose: The job of Special Education Instructional Assistant was established for the purpose/s of working with individual and/or small groups of students under the supervision of a professionally licensed teacher in the supervision and monitoring review: annually? Actually the purpose paragraph includes: "The job of Special Education Instructional Assistant was established for the purpose/s of working with individual and/or small groups of students under the supervision of a professionally licensed teacher in the supervision and Monitoring Review: Annually Descriptor Term Special Education - Special Education Instructional Assistant II (SPED IA II) instruction of students receiving support through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)." This is messy. Let's extract purpose: "The job of Special Education Instructional Assistant was established for the purpose/s of working with individual and/or small groups of students under the supervision of a professionally licensed teacher in the supervision and instruction of students receiving support through an Individualized Education Plan (IEP)." Then there is "Monitoring Review: Annually Descriptor Term Special Education - Special Education Instructional Assistant II (SPED IA II)". Might be separate metadata. We'll keep purpose paragraph. Then we can add SLE Program Purposes paragraph. Thus About the role includes purpose, SLE program description.
