Special Education Teacher

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. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to parse the posting. Content: - Starting Salary: $71,000 - $75,000 /year based on experience -> Pay section. - Environment: Special Education Program, Grades K-12 Spectrum Center Schools and Programs... This is about the role? Could be "About the role". We'll include description. - Then a paragraph about mission etc. - Then "As a Special Education Teacher, you will lead the instructional process..." That's responsibilities? Actually that's description of role; could be part of About the role. - Then "Responsibilities Include:" followed by a long list of responsibilities separated by periods? Actually they are sentences separated by periods but we can treat as list items. We'll create

• for each responsibility. - Then "Qualifications Required:" list of qualifications. - Then after qualifications, there is description about Spectrum Center etc. That's more about organization; could be part of About the role or maybe not needed. But we can include as part of About the role. - Then "Perks and Benefits Include:" list of benefits. - Then other motivational text. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications (maybe Requirements?), Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills? Not explicit. Could combine Qualifications and Requirements? The posting has "Qualifications Required:" which is qualifications. No separate Requirements. Could treat Qualifications as Requirements. But we have both Qualifications and Requirements headings allowed. We'll use Qualifications for the list. Could also include Skills if any explicit skills list; not present. So we omit Skills. Schedule: Not mentioned. So omit. Pay: we have salary range. Benefits: we have list. Now we need to preserve all substantive information. Must not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We have salary range based on experience, that's specific. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. We'll produce something like:

  Starting Salary: $71,000 - $75,000 /year based on experience

  We should not include Schedule. Check for any duplicated lines: we have not. We must ensure we didn't include boilerplate like copyright, EEO, etc. We omitted the copyright line at end. Also omitted the link and "Learn more about our history..." maybe that's part of About the role? It's substantive? It's a link to learn more; could be considered boilerplate? It's a link to more info; but it's not a standard boilerplate like EEO. It's part of the posting encouraging to learn more. Might be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The link is not exactly those; it's a promotional link. Might be okay to keep. However we already included a sentence about learning more in About the role? We didn't include that sentence. We could incorporate it: "Learn more about our history, our mission and the program services we provide by visiting the link below: https://bit.ly/m/WorkWithPurpose". That is substantive? It's a link to more info; could be considered navigation? It's a link to external site. Might be considered navigation? The instruction says remove navigation boilerplate. This is a link to learn more about the organization; could be considered navigation. Safer to omit it. We already omitted. We also omitted the sentence "At ChanceLight we believe in providing more than just a job, as a member of our team you'll receive the opportunity to make meaningful impacts, the support needed to achieve success, and all the tools essential to reaching your personal & professional fulfillment! Your path to a truly rewarding career starts here – where growth, empowerment, and collaboration define our culture; and every day is a Chance to transform lives through education!" We included that in About the role. Good. We also omitted the "Perks and Benefits Include:" heading; we used Benefits heading. Check that we didn't miss any substantive info: The initial "Environment: Special Education Program, Grades K-12 Spectrum Center Schools and Programs, a growing, dynamic organization with a social mission to offer hope, is seeking a Special Education Teacher to join our award-winning team and perform meaningful work in a culture that welcomes innovation, encourages creative expression and offers limitless potential for personal and professional satisfaction! If you're passionate about empowering students with diverse learning needs, thrive in a collaborative and dynamic educational environment, and bring creativity, patience, a solution-focused mindset, a sense of humor, and an unwavering commitment to student growth — We Should Talk!" We included that in About the role. We also included the description of role after that. We also included the description about Spectrum Center being a division of ChanceLight etc. Good. We also included the "As a Special Education Teacher, you will lead the instructional process..." which we included in About the role. We also included the responsibilities list. We also included qualifications list. We also included benefits list. We also included pay. We omitted the "And So Much More!" but we included as a list item. Check for any other substantive info: The line "Perks and Benefits Include:" we turned into Benefits section. We omitted the line "If you're ready to start making lasting impacts on the lives of students and contribute to the creation of a brighter future — This Is Your Chance! Join us and together, we can empower students to overcome challenges, build confidence and unlock their full potential! Careers, With ChanceLight 💙 Work. With
