Special Education Teacher
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Key info:
- Required Certificates and Licenses: Appropriate state Department of Education Special Education Teaching Certification. If from another state, must provide proof of NM license application within 7 days and obtain approved NM license within 90 days.
- Residency Requirements: remote, strongly prefer NM residents, may consider candidates from 50 states and DC.
- About the role: description of mission, etc.
- Responsibilities: list of essential functions (many bullet points). Should be in - .
- Requirements: Minimum Required Qualifications: Bachelor's degree AND Active state teaching license AND Ability to clear required background check.
- Other Required Qualifications: list of abilities (collaborative, coaching, change, Excel, etc.)
- Desired Qualifications: list.

- Work Environment: virtual, remote, full-time, 40+ hours per week, schedule 9-5 or 8-4.
- Job Type: Regular.
We need sections: maybe About the role (mission), Responsibilities, Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (other required + desired?), Skills (maybe combine), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, accommodation request, etc. Remove those.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary range, so Pay section is okay.
Schedule: we have typical 9-5 or 8-4, 40+ hours per week. So we can include Schedule.
Benefits: we have health benefits, retirement contributions, paid time off. So Benefits section.
Qualifications: we have Minimum Required Qualifications, Other Required Qualifications, Desired Qualifications. Could combine into Qualifications section with subpoints? But we need to use
for section headings, and - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have a Qualifications section with lists.
We could also have Skills section for proficiencies like Microsoft Excel etc. But those are in Other Required Qualifications. Could be part of Qualifications.
We need to decide sections: About the role (mission description), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (minimum qualifications), Qualifications (other required + desired), Skills (maybe separate), Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
But we must avoid thin sections. Let's see content:
About the role: we have mission statement, description of school, role purpose. That's substantive.
Responsibilities: many bullet points (essential functions). Good.
Requirements: Minimum Required Qualifications (Bachelor's degree, active state teaching license, background check). That's short but substantive.
Qualifications: Other Required Qualifications (list) and Desired Qualifications (list). Could combine into one Qualifications section with two sublists? But we need to use
- for any list. Could have two
under same heading? Probably okay.
Skills: maybe we could embed Microsoft proficiency etc under Other Required Qualifications; not separate.
Benefits: health benefits, retirement contributions, paid time off.
Pay: salary range $55k-$75k.
Schedule: full-time, 40+ hours/week, typical 9-5 or 8-4.
We should not include sections like "Work Environment" if we already have Schedule; but we could incorporate remote/virtual in About the role or Schedule. However we have explicit "Work Environment: The work environment characteristics described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions. This position is virtual". That's substantive; maybe we can include a section "Work Environment" but we don't have a heading for that in allowed list? The allowed headings list includes About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Work Environment not in list, but we could incorporate into About the role or Schedule. Probably better to add a short note in About the role or Schedule. Since we must not create headings not in list, we should avoid Work Environment heading. So we can mention virtual/remote in About the role or Schedule.
We need to preserve all substantive information; we can embed that info in existing sections.

About the role
K12, a Stride Company, believes in Education for ANY ONE. We provide families with an online option for a high-quality, personalized education experience.

The Special Education Teacher is a state certified teacher responsible for delivering specific course content in an online environment. The Special Education Teacher must provide instruction, support, and guidance, manage the learning process, and focus on students’ individual needs as defined by each student’s Individualized Education Program. The Special Education Teacher works actively with students and parents to advance each student’s learning and is also responsible for the compliance documents required in serving students with special needs. This is a full-time position. Ability to work independently, typically 40+ hours per week is required. Ability to maintain a professional home office without distraction during workday, typically 9-5 (or 8-4) or as defined by the school. The position is remote and strongly prefers candidates that reside in New Mexico; may consider candidates that reside in the 50 states and Washington, D.C.
That covers mission, role description, remote, schedule.
Now Responsibilities:

... but we need to break down each bullet. The original list includes many items after "Ensure all special education and related services are provided as determined by the IEP team by:" then a series of actions separated by commas? Actually it's a long sentence with many items separated by commas and semicolons? Let's parse:
"Ensure all special education and related services are provided as determined by the IEP team by:Communicating with parents and applicable related service staff to ensure that students with special needs are receiving the appropriate therapiesDeveloping compliant IEP’s, progress reports and other state specific required special education documentationFacilitating and leading collaborative special education meetings such as annual IEP meetingsUsing provided resources to ensure accommodations and modifications for students with disabilities such as assistive technology, supplemental curriculum, and accessible textMake modifications and accommodations to Stride K12 lessons and assessments as specified by the IEPEnsure inclusion and success of student in the general education classroomCollect data and work samples to monitor student progress towards Individual Education Program (IEP) goals and objectivesDocument all contact with parents and interventions with studentsAnalyze student data to prescribe remediation and enrichment as neededProvide rich and engaging synchronous and asynchronous learning experiences for studentsCommitment to personalizing learning for all studentsDemonstrate a belief in all students’ ability to succeed and meet high expectationsMaintain grade book ensuring student academic integrity, makes student placement and promotion decisions, and alerts administrators to concerns about student performance and progressPrepare students for high stakes standardized testsUnderstand that a primary responsibility is to establish and maintain positive rapport with families and regularly communicates with and responds to students and learning coaches/parents in a timely mannerSupport learning coaches/parents with student curricular and instructional issues, as well as basic troubleshooting in a virtual classroom environment that is in line with academy policies and proceduresAbility to travel up to 20% of the time for face-to-face professional development, student testing, and/or as required by the school."
We need to split into sensible list items. Each action separated by a capital letter after a lowercase? Hard. We can approximate by splitting at each verb phrase before a capital letter that starts a new action (like "Communicating", "Developing", "Facilitating", "Using", "Make", "Ensure", "Collect", "Document", "Analyze", "Provide", "Commitment", "Demonstrate", "Maintain", "Prepare", "Understand", "Support", "Ability to travel").
