Special Education Teacher, Behavior Support
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections apply.
The posting includes:
- Position Purpose (could be "About the role")
- Minimum Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities, education, certification)
- Preferred Qualifications
- Essential Duties And Responsibilities
- Working Conditions (Physical Environment, Work Environment)
- Effective Date (maybe metadata)
- Disclaimer (boilerplate to drop)
We need to map to allowed headings.
We have "About the role": could contain Position Purpose.
"Responsibilities": Essential Duties And Responsibilities.
"Requirements": Minimum Qualifications? Or "Qualifications": maybe combine.
"Skills": could be KSAs.
"Benefits": none given (no mention). So we should not include Benefits.
"Pay": none given.
"Schedule": none given.
We must not create sections with placeholder text.
Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications?), Skills. Need to decide which headings to use.
The instruction: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose any of those that have content.
We have content for About the role (Position Purpose). Responsibilities (Essential Duties). Requirements (Minimum Qualifications maybe). Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications maybe). Skills (KSAs). Could combine Minimum Qualifications and Preferred Qualifications into Requirements and Qualifications sections.
But we must not repeat content unnecessarily. Let's structure:
- About the role
About the role
Position Purpose ...
-Responsibilities
- ... each duty
Requirements
Minimum Qualifications ...
maybe include Education, Certification, etc. -Qualifications
Preferred Qualifications ...
-Skills
- ... KSAs
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The e.g. suggests those are examples, but likely they want only those headings. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we need to incorporate Working Conditions info somewhere else, maybe within Responsibilities or About the role? But that would be misrepresenting. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." It doesn't forbid adding other headings, but the examples given are those. I think we should only use those headings. So we need to fit Working Conditions into one of those sections, maybe under Responsibilities (as part of job duties) or under About the role (as part of role description). But Working Conditions is about physical environment, not duties. Could be considered part of "About the role". Might be okay.
Alternatively we could create a section "Requirements" and include physical requirements there. But Requirements is more about qualifications. Could still include physical requirements as part of requirements. That seems plausible: physical ability to lift etc is a requirement. So we can put Working Conditions under Requirements.
Thus:
- About the role: Position Purpose.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties.
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications (Education, Certification) + Physical Environment + Work Environment (maybe as bullet list).
- Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications.
- Skills: KSAs.
We must not repeat content. Ensure we include all KSAs as list items.
All substantive info: we must include everything from KSAs, duties, qualifications, etc.
Let's craft HTML.
We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed.
We'll produce:
