We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the Team? Actually the posting includes "About The Team", "About the Opportunity", "About You", "About Us", "Other Work Factors", "We offer the following benefits". We need to use headings for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we must only include sections when posting has real specific content. The posting does not have explicit "About the role" heading but we can map content: "About The Team" maybe corresponds to About the role? The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings if appropriate. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we need to strip the EEO paragraph at end. Also remove "Other Work Factors" maybe not needed as a heading unless we map to something like Requirements? But "Other Work Factors" includes physical demands, work environment, mental functions. That could be part of Requirements or Qualifications? Probably we can include under Requirements or Qualifications. But we need to follow instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it. So we can create sections: About the role (from About The Team and About the Opportunity?), Responsibilities (list of duties), Requirements (education, experience, certifications), Qualifications (maybe skills?), Skills (maybe specific abilities), Benefits (list). Pay and Schedule not present, so omit those sections.
We must not create headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we must ensure each heading has substantive content.

We must not create headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". So we must ensure each heading has substantive content.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's extract.
About The Team: description of role, collaboration, etc. Could be About the role.
About the Opportunity: bullet list of duties (starting with "Attend relevant trainings...").
About You: qualifications: Bachelor’s Degree in Special Education, Master’s Preferred, Minimum 3 years experience, Current Special Education Teacher or Administrator Certification, Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Suite, Ability to handle confidential info, etc. Also many soft skills.
About Us: description of organization.
Other Work Factors: physical demands, work environment, mental functions.
We offer the following benefits: list.
We need to decide mapping.
Probably:
About the role
-> combine About The Team and About Us? Actually About the role could be description of role and team. We'll put About The Team content there.
Responsibilities
-> list from About the Opportunity bullet points.
Requirements
-> education, experience, certification.
Qualifications
-> maybe proficiency in MS Office, Google Suite, ability to handle confidential info, etc. But these could also be Skills.
Better: Requirements: education, experience, certification. Skills: proficiency in MS Office, Google Suite, ability to handle confidential info, communication skills, leadership, etc. Qualifications maybe not needed. But we can include Qualifications as combination of education/experience? However instruction says we can use those headings; we just need to avoid empty sections.
We could do:
About the role (team description)
Responsibilities (duties list)
Requirements (education, experience, certification)
Skills (proficiency, abilities, soft skills)
Benefits (list)
We could also include About Us as part of About the role or separate? But we have no heading for About Us; we could incorporate into About the role as prose.
We must not duplicate lines. Ensure we preserve all substantive info: include details about collaboration, compliance monitoring, PD, observation/feedback, transfer student programming, ESY program, state reporting, student-centered decisions, etc. Also include the bullet list from About the Opportunity.
Let's extract bullet points from About the Opportunity:
