We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate. Preserve all substantive info. We need to parse the posting. Let's extract sections: - Position Summary: description of role. Could be "About the role". Use

About the role

then

with summary. - ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties. Use

Responsibilities

then
  • each duty. - Required Qualifications Education and Experience: "A current Washington state teaching certificate with a special education endorsement". That's a qualification. Could go under Qualifications. - Additional Requirements: "Work scheduled hours on a consistent basis". That's maybe schedule? Actually it's a requirement about schedule. Could be under Requirements. - Preferred Qualifications: list of items: Training or experience in serving students with mild to moderate disabilities; Proficiency in conducting functional behavior assessments and developing behavior intervention plans; Training and/or experience teaching students who have been impacted by trauma and neglect; Bilingual. Those are preferred qualifications. - Condition Of Employment: list: Criminal background clearance; Washington state driver's license and proof of insurance; Possess and maintain a current district-approved CPR/First Aid card within 90 days of employment...; Successfully complete the FWPS district-approved Right Response training at the advanced level at the next available time; maintain current certification at the advanced level through an annual recertification class. Those are requirements. - Knowledge Of: list: School board policies and procedures; Computer systems and various software programs; Evidence-based classroom and behavior management practices. - Ability To: list many abilities: Plan, implement, and evaluate individualized programs for students; Establish and maintain effective working relationship with staff, parents, and community members; Skill in operating a computer and ability to learn and use various software programs; Work effectively under varying levels of pressure; Intervene in situations of imminent likelihood of serious harm using district approved Right Response techniques, including de-escalation strategies and restraint when needed; Comply with school board policies and follow administrative procedures; Organize and perform job responsibilities efficiently and independently without close supervision and able to pay strict attention to detail; Communicate effectively through spoken and written word; read and follow written or verbal communications; Develop and maintain positive relationships with staff and service providers; Work collaboratively with District staff and promote teamwork with co-workers; Practice effective safety and security within individual work routines; Practice ethical and professional standards of conduct including the requirements of confidentiality; Relate effectively with parents, staff, students and community members in a multicultural and multiracial community; Perform job responsibilities with or without reasonable accommodations. - REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES RELATED TO CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND EQUITY: list items. - PHYSICAL DEMANDS: description. - WORK ENVIRONMENT: description. - WORK SCHEDULE: "This position has a school year schedule." - REPORTING RELATIONSHIP: "Position reports to, and is evaluated by, a building administrator, department director, or designee." - REPRESENTATION: "Federal Way Education Association (FWEA)" - Level Of Compensation: "Federal Way Education Association (FWEA) Salary Schedule. This position includes the following benefits prorated based on FTE – Medical, dental vision, wellness leave, life insurance, retirement, professional development dollars." - CLASSIFICATION HISTORY: updates. - Disclaimer etc: boilerplate to remove. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (position summary). Responsibilities (essential duties). Qualifications (required qualifications education and experience). Possibly also Preferred Qualifications could be under Qualifications or Skills? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have predefined set. We should map content to these headings. - About the role: position summary. - Responsibilities: essential duties. - Requirements: maybe includes Required Qualifications Education and Experience, Additional Requirements, Condition Of Employment, Knowledge Of, Ability To, Physical Demands, Work Environment? But those are many. However we should not create thin sections; we can combine into Requirements (maybe as a list). But we also have Qualifications heading separate. The instruction says we can use those headings; we can decide to use only those that have substantive content. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Requirements maybe not needed if we put qualifications and skills. But we have many ability items that could be Skills. Knowledge items could be Qualifications? Actually Qualifications heading likely for education/experience/certifications. Skills heading for abilities/knowledge. Let's map: - About the role: Position Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: list of essential duties. - Qualifications: Required Qualifications Education and Experience (certificate). Also maybe Condition Of Employment? Those are more like requirements but could be under Qualifications? Might be better to put under Requirements. However we have a Requirements heading available. Let's use Requirements for mandatory items: Additional Requirements (work scheduled hours), Condition Of Employment (background check, driver's license, CPR/First Aid, Right Response training), Knowledge Of (school board policies, computer systems, evidence-based practices), Physical Demands, Work Environment. That seems appropriate. - Skills: Ability To list (abilities) plus REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES RELATED TO CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND EQUITY (these are skills/knowledge). Also maybe Preferred Qualifications could be under Skills? But they are preferred qualifications; we could put under Qualifications as preferred? But we have no separate heading for preferred. Could include under Qualifications as a note? But instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. We could add a Qualifications section that includes both required and preferred? Might be messy. Better: Use Qualifications for required education/experience/certification. Use Skills for abilities and cultural competence. Use Requirements for mandatory conditions (background check, schedule, etc). Use Benefits for benefits listed. Use Pay for salary schedule mention. Use Schedule for work schedule. Let's extract each. About the role: "An academic core program (ACP) teacher works with students with identified disabilities that demonstrate primary learning needs in the academic domain. They may need intensive specially designed instruction to learn how to read, write, and solve mathematical calculations and problems. Additionally, they may have special needs in the social-emotional and/or functional life skills domains, but there are secondary to their academic core needs." Responsibilities: list each duty from ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: - Develop and maintain compliant individual education plans (IEPs) and other compliance documents. - Develop, implement, and adjust appropriate programming to provide access to a student's least restrictive environment (LRE). - Provide interventions and systematic purposeful instruction at students' instructional levels, linking district initiatives and grade level expectations to IEPs. - Coordinate with general education teachers to address students' instructional needs in order to support further involvement in core instruction. - Design and implement intervention based on student assessment and evaluation. - Collect and utilize data and frequent ongoing progress monitoring systems to inform instructional decisions or revisions. - Design and implement appropriate accommodations and modifications. - Train and supervise paraeducators. - Provide individualized inclusion opportunities. We should keep as list items. Requirements: include: - Work scheduled hours on a consistent basis (Additional Requirements) - Criminal background clearance - Washington state driver's license and proof of insurance - Possess and maintain a current district-approved CPR/First Aid card within 90 days of employment. District approved courses must include hands-on and written exam. - Successfully complete the FWPS district-approved Right Response training at the advanced level at the next available time; maintain current certification at the advanced level through an annual recertification class - Knowledge of school board policies and procedures - Knowledge of computer systems and various software programs - Knowledge of evidence-based classroom and behavior management practices - Physical demands: frequently required to reach, bend, stoop, squat, kneel, handle/grasp, talk, and hear; occasionally required to stand, walk, sit, climb stairs, lift and reach overhead, twist torso and neck, and fine motor manipulation; occasionally required to lift/carry a maximum of 50 pounds; occasionally required to push/pull a maximum weight of 100 pounds; anything over weight limits performed as two-person lift or mechanical lift. - Work environment: regularly works in indoor conditions and regularly works near video display; constant interruptions; required to meet deadlines; exposed to infectious diseases carried by students; exposed to unpredictable students who may grab or bite; noise level usually moderate. We could also include "REPORTING RELATIONSHIP" maybe under Requirements? But it's not a requirement; it's reporting. Could be omitted as not required heading. The instruction says include a section only when posting has real specific content. We could add a section "Reporting" but not in allowed headings. So we skip. Skills: include: - Ability to plan, implement, and evaluate individualized programs for students - Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationship with staff, parents, and community members - Skill in operating a computer and ability to learn and use various software programs - Ability to work effectively under varying levels of pressure - Ability to intervene in situations of imminent likelihood of serious harm using district approved Right Response techniques, including de-escalation strategies and restraint when needed - Ability to comply with school board policies and follow administrative procedures - Ability to organize and perform job responsibilities efficiently and independently without close supervision and able to pay strict attention to detail - Ability to communicate effectively through spoken and written word; read and follow written or verbal communications - Ability to develop and maintain positive relationships with staff and service providers - Ability to work collaboratively with District staff and promote teamwork with co-workers - Ability to practice effective safety and security within individual work routines - Ability to practice ethical and professional standards of conduct including the requirements of confidentiality - Ability to relate effectively with parents, staff, students and community members in a multicultural and multiracial community - Ability to perform job responsibilities with or without reasonable accommodations - REQUIRED KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS AND ABILITIES RELATED TO CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND EQUITY: - Knowledge/awareness of own cultural identity and how this influences behavior, and desire to learn about the cultural identity of others. - Ability to establish and nurture an environment that promotes cultural competence and equitable treatment of staff, students, and patrons of the District. - Ability to understand and hold self and others accountable for promoting the Federal Way Public Schools' commitment to "Each Scholar: A Voice. A Dream. A Bright Future." - Ability to recognize that each person is a unique individual even as we celebrate their group cultural heritage. Also maybe Preferred Qualifications could be under Skills? But they are "Preferred Qualifications". Could be placed under Qualifications as preferred? But we have no separate heading. Might be okay to include them under Qualifications as a note? However instruction: only include sections when posting has real specific content. We could add a Qualifications section that includes both required and preferred? Might be confusing. Better: Keep Qualifications for required education/experience/certification. Put Preferred Qualifications under Skills? They are not skills but qualifications. But we could treat them as Skills? Might be okay. Alternatively, we could create a separate "Qualifications" section that includes both required and preferred, but we need to differentiate? Not required. Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Required Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications into Qualifications section, with subpoints? But we must use
    • for any list. Could have two lists: one for Required, one for Preferred. But we need headings only for sections, not subheadings. We could put under Qualifications
