Special Education Teacher - Achieve (LTS)

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. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. We need to parse the posting.

Could be a line under "Responsible To". Might be considered a reporting line; we could include under "About the role" or maybe as a separate "Reporting" but not required. We'll incorporate into "About the role" maybe. - Compensation / Benefits: According to contractual agreement. If benefit eligible, benefits are available to new employees effective the first day of active employment. Benefits include medical insurance, dental insurance, life insurance, long term disability insurance, sick-leave, state pension plan, tax-deferred retirement savings account, and flexible spending account. Some employee groups also receive vacation, holidays or personal leave. Benefit information is available at Employee Benefits - Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan ISD 196 - Then there is a paragraph about team mission, core values, culture, vision, district stats. This is likely "About the role" or "About the district". The instruction: Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to decide which sections to include based on content. We have: - Job Summary (could be "About the role") - Responsibilities: maybe the job summary includes responsibilities; but we could separate responsibilities as a list? The job summary includes many responsibilities; we could put them under Responsibilities as

  • . But we also have Qualifications list. - Requirements: maybe same as Qualifications? The instruction includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. We need to decide which to use. Usually Requirements = mandatory qualifications; Qualifications = preferred? But we can combine. However we should not create thin sections. We have a lot of qualification statements; we could put them under Qualifications. Could also have a Requirements section for mandatory like license, ability to lift, driver's license, etc. But we risk creating many thin sections. Better to have one Qualifications section with all qualification statements. - Skills: maybe we could extract skills like communication, collaboration, etc. But those are already in qualifications. Could create Skills section for things like "Strong oral and written communication skills", "Ability to relate positively", etc. But that would be thin. Better to keep under Qualifications. - Benefits: we have content. - Pay: Not specified; only "According to contractual agreement." No specific pay. So we should NOT create Pay section because it's not specific (just says according to contractual agreement). The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Benefits is stated, so we include Benefits. Pay not specific, so omit. - Schedule: Not specified (just FTE 1.0 LTS maybe indicates full-time limited term schedule? Not explicit schedule). So omit Schedule. - About the role: we have job summary and mission/values etc. Could be About the role. - Responsibilities: we could extract from job summary as list of duties. That seems appropriate. - Requirements: maybe we could separate mandatory requirements like license, ability to lift, driver's license, etc. But we have many qualifications; we could still put them under Qualifications. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. That's four sections. We need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract: About the role: Should include job summary paragraphs plus maybe the mission/values/district description? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the mission, core values, culture, vision, district stats etc. That is substantive. Where to place? Could be under About the role as well, or maybe a separate "About the district". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put under About the role. That would be large but okay. Responsibilities: list of duties from job summary (the bullet-like sentences). We'll convert each sentence to
  • . Qualifications: list of qualification statements. Benefits: list of benefits. We must not include boilerplate: EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Check for duplicated lines: The posting includes "Application Procedures Internal and External Candidates: Apply on-line at www.district196.org" - we remove. Also remove "Equal Opportunity Employer" etc. Also remove "Our team of dedicated educators..." etc? That is substantive about mission, we keep. Also remove "District 196 is a Minnesota public school district..." etc - keep as part of About the role. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:

    Make sure to not include any extra text outside HTML. Now craft the About the role paragraph(s). We need to include: - Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196. - Support students in the Achieve program which serves students who have educational needs in emotional, behavioral and self-regulation skills in a supported environment. - Develop and demonstrate culturally responsive practices that lead to equitable outcomes for all students, particularly those groups of students that are over-represented in special education. - Demonstrate proactive response to support students with emotional regulation difficulties. - Provide instruction in strategies to support students in developing social emotional skills for success. - Demonstrate current knowledge of various forms of assistive technology to support students in accessing the appropriate tools for efficiency. - Employ high expectations for students using a variety of instructional techniques and instructional media. - Collaborate with others to plan, teach and support students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. - Advocate for students with disabilities to ensure high levels of achievement. - Promote and develop strong communication and collaboration with staff, parents and other professionals. - Carry out responsibilities as defined by the master contract. - Then the mission/values etc: "Our team of dedicated educators is committed to the mission of Educating, developing, and inspiring our students for lifelong success. Our core values are student-centered, based in empathy and integrity to support the wellbeing of the whole person, and learning with high expectations for all. Our culture of collaboration fosters an environment of inclusivity, engagement and belonging for all students, and inspires a love of learning for all ages. Our vision is to provide the experiences that our students, families and employees desire by developing the whole student and honoring diverse needs and cultures; engaging students with opportunities in academics, arts and athletics (Triple A philosophy), and living our mission to prepare students for lifelong success. District 196 is a Minnesota public school district of choice, serving more than 29,000 students and 160,000 residents in the cities of Rosemount, Apple Valley, Eagan, Burnsville, Coates, Empire, Inver Grove Heights and Lakeville, and Vermillion Township. District 196 is the third largest school district in Minnesota and among the largest employers in Dakota County, with more than 4,000 full- and part-time employees. District 196 has been named to Forbes' list of America's Best-in-State Employers multiple times based on a survey asking employees to rate their employers and how likely they would be to recommend them to others. District 196 has 20 elementary schools (grades K-5); six middle schools (grades 6-8); four high schools (grades 9-12); an optional School of Environmental Studies for juniors and seniors; an Area Learning Center high school program; a K-12 special education school, and a special education program serving young adults ages 18-22. The district also operates three learning centers that provide early childhood and Adult Basic Education services, and offers extensive community education programs and classes for learners of all ages." We can combine into one or multiple paragraphs. Probably one

    with all sentences separated by spaces. Now Responsibilities: we could list the same sentences as bullet list. But we already used them in About the role; we might duplicate content. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplicating is okay as long as we preserve. However we might avoid duplication by splitting: About the role could be a brief overview, Responsibilities list the duties. But we have to preserve all info; if we put some in About the role and some in Responsibilities, we still preserve all. Let's decide: About the role could contain the mission/values/district description and maybe a brief statement: "Teach curriculum of Independent School District 196. Support
