EducationFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content.
The posting: "Campus Principal 184 Provide students with disabilities appropriate learning activities..." Actually seems like job title maybe "Campus Principal 184"? But we are told not to repeat job title as heading. So we need to produce sections: maybe About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to see what content exists.
Let's parse the posting:
First line: "Campus Principal 184 Provide students with disabilities appropriate learning activities and experiences designed to help them achieve educational progress related to their intellectual, communication, emotional, social, physical, and self-help skills."
That seems like a description of role.
Then "Develop modified curricula and other instructional materials to address each student’s ability level."
Then "Program Description Structured Learning Class (SLC) This instructional setting offers specially designed instruction for children with autism and/or other communication disorders who require support to build functional language/communication and functional behavior skills. The primary emphasis is on language/communication and behavioral needs starting at the preschool level with increased emphasis on academic support and functional routines at the elementary and middle school levels. The classroom environment is highly structured and incorporates positive behavior supports and instructional strategies in alignment with the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. Students participate in activities with their non-disabled peers, with support as appropriate, to help generalize skills learned in the SLC classroom. SLC classrooms are arranged to provide maximum opportunity for intensive specialized instruction on the prerequisite level of the academic TEKS."
Then "Education/Certification Bachelor’s degree Valid Texas teaching certificate in Special Education PK Positions EC-6/PK and ESL Elementary Positions Elem Self Contained 1 - 8, or Generalist/Core EC - 6 Middle School Positions Generalist/Core 4-8, or EC - 6"
Then "Special Knowledge/Skills Knowledge of academic subject assigned Demonstrated proficiency in creation, implementation and progress monitoring of specially designed instruction Ability to individualize instruction to prepare students for participation in Least Restrictive Environments (LRE) to the maximum extent possible"
Then "Experience Minimum of three years of special education teaching experience is preferred Knowledge and experience in working with students with emotional and behavioral challenges preferred"
Then "Instructional Strategies Collaborate with parents and other staff members to develop Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) through the ARD/IEP Committee process, including attendance at ARDC meeting. Develop and implement lesson plans that fulfill the requirements of the students’ IEPs and reflect the District's established curriculum; demonstrate written evidence of preparation as required. Prepare lessons that reflect accommodations for differences in student learning styles/needs, including activities, materials and equipment. Use technology (including assistive technology) to strengthen the teaching/learning process. Plan and supervise assignments for teaching assistants and volunteers."
Then "Student Growth and Development Conduct ongoing assessment of student achievement through formal and informal testing. Be a positive role model for students, support mission of school district. Help students develop independence and self-advocacy skills. Assume responsibility for extracurricular activities as assigned."
Then "Classroom Management and Organization Create classroom environments conducive to learning and appropriate for the physical, social, and emotional development of students. Take all necessary and reasonable precautions to protect students, equipment, materials and facilities. Provide positive behavioral supports to manage student behavior in accordance with Student Code of Conduct and Student Handbook. Must be physically capable of implementing student restraint as a last resort for safety."
Then "Communication Establish and maintain open communications by conducting conferences with parents, student, related service providers, principals and teachers. Use effective verbal and written communication skills with students, parents and colleagues. Maintain a professional relationship with colleagues, students, parents and community members."
Then "Other Compile, maintain and file all reports, records, and other documents required for District and TEA compliance. Participate in professional development activities to improve job-related skills. Keep informed of and comply with federal, state, District and school regulations and policies related to the delivery of special education services. Attend and participate in faculty meetings and serve on staff committees as required. Frisco ISD retains the right to adjust the responsibilities and assignments of all positions as needed to meet the needs of the District. Frisco ISD is committed to fostering a collaborative work environment that honors and supports the social and emotional well-being of all. Employees are expected to interact in a manner that is becoming of educators and promotes high levels of productivity for the benefit of the students we serve."
Then "Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors Maintain emotional control under stress. Physical demands include frequent standing, stooping, bending, kneeling, pushing, pulling, lifting and transferring students to and from wheelchairs, and assisting with positioning students with physical disabilities. Exposure to biological hazards."
Then "Special Education General Employee Expectation The Special Education Department maintains an expectation that all staff will assume shared responsibility for the health, safety, and confidentiality of all students and adults; which may include implementing, supporting and documenting behavioral intervention strategies and/or providing school health, related, and personal care services. The foregoing statements describe the general purpose and responsibilities assigned to this job and are not an exhaustive list of all responsibilities and duties that may be assigned or skills that may be required. The Frisco Independent School District is an equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate against applicants or employees because of race, national origin, gender, age, religion, or disability status of otherwise qualified individuals. FISD does not discriminate on the basis of membership or application for membership in the uniformed services."
We need to strip boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, legal, etc. Also remove application instructions (none). Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. So we should remove the final paragraphs about equal opportunity and uniformed services.
Also remove "Frisco ISD retains the right to adjust the responsibilities..." maybe that's not boilerplate? It's a statement about rights; could be considered boilerplate but it's part of responsibilities? Might be considered generic. Safer to keep? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The statement about rights is not exactly those categories, but could be considered legal boilerplate. Might be safer to remove? It says "Frisco ISD retains the right to adjust the responsibilities and assignments of all positions as needed to meet the needs of the District." That's typical boilerplate. I'd remove it.
Also "Frisco ISD is committed to fostering a collaborative work environment..." that's also boilerplate about culture; maybe keep? It's not EEO but could be considered fluff. Might be okay to keep as part of "Other" section? But we need to decide sections.
We need to map content to headings: About the role (summary), Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have no explicit Benefits, Pay, Schedule info. So we should not include those sections unless posting actually states them. There's no mention of pay, benefits, schedule. So we omit Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We need sections for About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills.
Let's extract:
About the role: maybe the initial description: Provide students with disabilities appropriate learning activities... Develop modified curricula... Program Description SLC... etc. Could be considered overview.
Responsibilities: list of duties: Instructional Strategies, Student Growth and Development, Classroom Management and Organization, Communication, Other (compiling reports, professional development, comply with regulations, attend meetings, serve on committees). Also maybe "Plan and supervise assignments for teaching assistants and volunteers." etc.
Requirements: maybe Education/Certification: Bachelor’s degree, Valid Texas teaching certificate in Special Education PK Positions EC-6/PK and ESL Elementary Positions Elem Self Contained 1 - 8, or Generalist/Core EC - 6 Middle School Positions Generalist/Core 4-8, or EC - 6.
Qualifications: maybe Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience, etc. But we need to differentiate Requirements vs Qualifications vs Skills. The instruction: Use headings as given; we need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = mandatory qualifications (education, certification). Qualifications = preferred qualifications (experience, knowledge). Skills = specific abilities.
We have:
Education/Certification: Bachelor’s degree, Valid Texas teaching certificate in Special Education PK Positions EC-6/PK and ESL Elementary Positions Elem Self Contained 1 - 8, or Generalist/Core EC - 6 Middle School Positions Generalist/Core 4-8, or EC - 6.
That seems like requirements.
Special Knowledge/Skills: Knowledge of academic subject assigned, Demonstrated proficiency in creation, implementation and progress monitoring of specially designed instruction, Ability to individualize instruction to prepare students for participation in Least Restrictive Environments (LRE) to the maximum extent possible.
Experience: Minimum of three years of special education teaching experience is preferred, Knowledge and experience in working with students with emotional and behavioral challenges preferred.
Instructional Strategies: list of duties (collaborate with parents, develop IEPs, develop lesson plans, use technology, plan/supervise assignments). That's responsibilities.
Student Growth and Development: duties.
Classroom Management and Organization: duties.
Communication: duties.
Other: compile reports, professional development, comply with regulations, attend meetings, serve on committees.
Mental Demands/Physical Demands/Environmental Factors: physical demands etc. Could be part of Requirements? Might be considered job demands; maybe we can include under Requirements or a separate section? Not in allowed headings. Could be placed under Responsibilities? Not exactly. Could be omitted? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include it somewhere. Perhaps under Responsibilities as a bullet about physical demands? Or under Requirements? The headings limited; we could add a section like "Requirements" and include physical demands there. But the heading list is fixed; we cannot create new headings. So we must fit into one of the allowed headings. Which is most appropriate? Physical demands could be considered part of "Requirements" (job requirements). Or maybe "Skills"? Not really. I'd put under Requirements as bullet points.
Also Special Education General Employee Expectation: health, safety, confidentiality, behavioral intervention strategies, school health services. That's also a responsibility/expectation. Could go under Responsibilities.
We need to avoid boilerplate: remove EEO statements. Also remove duplicated lines.
Now we need to produce HTML with
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to extract content.

Now we need to produce HTML with headings and - for lists,

We need to decide which content goes to which heading.

Responsibilities: list of duties: Instructional Strategies, Student Growth and Development, Classroom Management and Organization, Communication, Other (reports, PD, compliance, meetings, committees), Special Education General Employee Expectation (health/safety, confidentiality, behavioral intervention, school health services), Mental/Physical demands (physical demands, emotional control, biological hazards).

Qualifications: maybe Special Knowledge/Skills and Experience? But we have both Knowledge/Skills and Experience. Could treat Knowledge/Skills as Qualifications, Experience as Qualifications as well. Or we could split: Qualifications = Special Knowledge/Skills, Experience = Experience (maybe under Requirements? but experience is usually a qualification). Let's decide: Requirements = education/certification. Qualifications = special knowledge/skills and experience. Skills
