Use this link to share this opportunity: https://sf.schoolspring.com?jobid=5935561 #hc265784" We need to extract sections: - About the role: intro paragraph (maybe also mention virtual office, learning academy, behavior team). That's fine. - Responsibilities: The "Essential Functions & Duties" list plus case management duties. Could combine. - Requirements: Education level, certification, experience desired, physical requirements, other requirements. - Qualifications: maybe same as requirements? But we need to decide. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should include only those with real content. We have content for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills (maybe separate), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Qualifications maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we can treat Requirements as education/experience, and Qualifications as certifications etc. However we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse: Education Level: Bachelor's degree and endorsements. Certification or licensure: South Dakota teaching certificate. Experience Desired: At least one year of work experience in a position requiring interpersonal interaction skills and knowledge of strategies to support students with challenging behaviors. Physical Requirements: Constant hand-eye and mind-eye coordination and hearing; intermittent speaking, standing, walking and writing. Ability to provide physical management to students with behavior or self-care needs. Other Requirements: Excellent oral and written communication skills. Skills in human relations, leadership and conflict management. Knowledgeable of teaching techniques that meet the diverse needs of students. Demonstrated skills in computer word processing, spreadsheets and databases. Knowledge in implementation of IEP process and special education law. Training in assessment and interpretation of information. Thus we can have Requirements section covering education, certification, experience, physical requirements. Skills section covering communication, human relations, leadership, conflict management, teaching techniques, computer skills, IEP process knowledge, assessment training. Qualifications maybe not needed if we covered. But we could include Qualifications for certification etc. However we need to avoid filler. Let's decide: We'll have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We'll not include Qualifications separately. Now extract Responsibilities: The list under "Essential Functions & Duties" plus the case management duties. We need to format as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn each duty into a list item. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include each duty as separate list item, preserving the wording. Let's list duties from the text: "Ability to Plan and Prepare Instructional Tasks Plan instructional tasks that are meaningful and related to learning goals Provide Instruction to Students Implement District curriculum Maintain a strong instructional focus utilizing the elements of effective instruction Communicate a high level of expectation Communicate clear learning goals to students Adapt instruction to meet the needs of all students Address various learning styles Sequence content at an appropriate pace Use appropriate level of questioning to promote understanding Relate lesson content to prior and future learning Require students to summarize information in written and/or verbal form Appropriately recognize and reinforce individual student effort Represent knowledge/information non-linguistically through a variety of methods Organize students in cooperative or ability groups when appropriate Require students to analyze and apply knowledge Display enjoyment, humor, and enthusiasm for teaching and expect students to enjoy learning Conduct ongoing assessments for learning Provide Effective Classroom Enviornment Establish appropriate classroom rules and procedures that are clearly understood by all students Effectively and consistently enforce rules and follow procedures Redirect students naturally and immediately without disrupting others Be well-organized and have all materials, equipment, etc., ready for immediate use Carry out smooth and effective transitions (e.g., from one activity to another, as students enter and leave the room) Maximize time on purposeful instructional tasks Begin and end class period with focus on learning Establish a positive learning environment Participate in Professional Growth Opportunities and Demonstrate Professionalism Participate in ongoing professional growth Participate in school/professional and/or community organizations or events Complete routine assigned tasks and comply with District requirements Promote the education profession Communicate effectively and professionally with colleagues, parents and students Conduct parent-teacher conferences in accordance with District policy Follow District and buildign policies and procedures. Support of District goals. Report student progress to parents and students. Perform other duties as assigned. Case manages student individual education programs (IEP) to meet specialized needs of students with disabilities Coordinates special education documentation regarding the special education process including referral, evaluation, IEP development and implementation, and related processes in compliance with district, state and federal requirements including timelines Implements specialized instruction utilizing researched strategies and interventions based on the needs of the students Participates in IEP meetings and communicates with parents on a routine basis keeping them informed of their child's progress in compliance with district procedures Maintains student special education records and related information as outlined in district procedures and in a confidential manner" We need to turn each line into a list item. Some lines are headings like "Ability to Plan and Prepare Instructional Tasks" etc. Those are also duties; we can keep them as list items. Now Benefits: The posting says "BENEFIT INFORMATION Benefits (only for positions 20 hours per week or more)". No specific benefits listed. It just says benefits for positions 20+ hours. No detail. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only states that benefits exist for positions 20+ hours, but no specifics. Is that enough? It says "Benefits (only for positions 20 hours per week or more)" - that's a statement about eligibility, not actual benefits. The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits exist, but not details. Might be considered stating them? It's vague. Safer to include Benefits section with that statement? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." This is thin. Might be better to omit Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. However the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state that benefits are available for positions 20+ hours. That is a statement about benefits. I'd include a Benefits section with that statement as a

    . But we need to avoid filler like "not specified". This is not "not specified", it's a statement. I'd include. Pay: "PAY INFORMATION Starting at $53,981 to $60,793 per year, based on experience. View the complete salary schedule here: 2026-2027 Teacher Salary Schedule Pay Day: Last working day of each month." We need to include Pay section with that info. Schedule: "HOURS & FTE Monday through Friday, 7:30 am to 4:00 pm 1.0 FTE, 40 hours per week, 9 months CALENDAR 2026-2027 New SFEA Staff Calendar". Include schedule. Now we need to strip boilerplate: "View the complete job description here: Special Education Classroom Teacher" etc. Also "Share This Opportunity! Use this link to share this opportunity: https://sf.schoolspring.com?jobid=5935561 #hc265784". Also "Post-Offer Criminal Background Check Required Relay Services for Deaf or Hard of Hearing: Dial 711, then the desired number". Also "CURRENT DISTRICT EMPLOYEES All current District employees interested in applying must complete an application." These are application instructions or boilerplate; we should remove them. Also "View the complete salary schedule here: 2026-2027 Teacher Salary Schedule" maybe we keep as part of Pay info? It's a reference; we could keep but it's not substantive detail; but it's part of pay information. Might keep as part of Pay section. Now we need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use

    for section headings. Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

      for prose. Thus structure:

      About the role

      ... intro paragraph ...

      Responsibilities

      • Ability to Plan and Prepare Instructional Tasks
      • Plan instructional tasks that are meaningful and related to learning goals
      • ... etc ...
