Qualifications: Documentation verifying a high school diploma or GED AND one of the following: official transcripts verifying an Associate’s Degree (90 quarter, 60 semester) OR 72 quarter or 48 semester credits from an accredited university, college, community college or business school; OR ETS ParaPro Assessment result of 461 or higher. Also "One year of related experience working with children in an educational setting preferred", "Successful experience as part of an educational team preferred", "Experience which demonstrates excellent interpersonal skills and skills in working effectively in a team environment, providing support to achieve the desired goal(s) for the classroom and/or program area", "Possess excellent problem solving, analytical, and conflict resolution skills and ability to think quickly", "Experience working with children with moderate to severe disabilities preferred". Those could be under Qualifications or Skills. The posting separates "Qualifications" and "Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities". So we can put the education/experience requirements under Qualifications, and the KSA under Skills.
Thus Qualifications list:
- High school diploma or GED
- One of the following:
- Associate’s Degree (90 quarter, 60 semester) verified by official transcripts
- 72 quarter or 48 semester credits from an accredited institution
- ETS ParaPro Assessment result of 461 or higher
- One year of related experience working with children in an educational setting (preferred)
- Successful experience as part of an educational team (preferred)
- Experience demonstrating excellent interpersonal skills and teamwork (preferred)
- Excellent problem solving, analytical, conflict resolution skills and ability to think quickly (preferred)
- Experience working with children with moderate to severe disabilities (preferred)
We could keep as list; but note that some are "preferred". We'll keep them.
Skills (Knowledge, Skills, And Abilities):
- Ability to effectively communicate with and appreciate individuals from diverse, socio-economic backgrounds
- Ability to act upon evasive and aggressive behavior of students
- Ability to attend mandatory training on the weekends and successfully pass the district CPI, de-escalation/physical restraint training
- Ability to learn and use a computer monitor, keyboard, and appropriate adaptive technologies
- Ability to successfully implement educational programs and manage student behavior with direction from the teacher(s)
- Ability to maintain confidentiality
- Ability to be flexible with assigned tasks and schedules
- Ability to develop relationships and supportive roles with children who possess mental or physical disabilities
Other Requirements (maybe also under Skills or separate). The posting includes "Other Requirements" list:
- Ability to lift, move, physically restrain a child of the size required by the job
- Ability to independently and safely escort students around the school building and grounds
- Ability to observe the behavior of students, both visually and by listening, take data on behaviors, and to communicate those observations with other appropriate service providers
- Regular attendance to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the position to achieve program requirements
We could incorporate these into Skills or a separate section like "Requirements". But we already have Requirements heading maybe for other requirements? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can put "Requirements" for the Other Requirements and maybe also for the physical requirements. We'll keep Requirements separate from Qualifications.
Thus:
- Requirements: list of other requirements.
Now Benefits: we have Benefits/Compensation paragraph.
We need to extract benefits info:
"Benefits/Compensation Salary range: New employees will start at the minimum hourly rate in the salary range. However, employees who have verified prior years of service in a similar occupational status from other Washington School Districts or Education School Districts, may receive experience credit towards salary placement. Salary schedules can be accessed here. Benefits: Employees who are anticipated to work at least 630 hours may be eligible for health, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, life, and disability insurance benefits. Detailed information, including further eligibility criteria, can be found here. Retirement: Employees may be eligible for retirement benefits through the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems (DRS). Eligibility is based on FTE. Detailed information can be found here. Time Off: Vancouver Public Schools offers paid holidays and paid time off, including but not limited to, sick, vacation, personal, and bereavement leave. Additional negotiated leave options can be found in the associated Comprehensive Professional Agreement (CPA) for this position VAESP CPA."
We need to separate Pay and Benefits maybe. Pay section: salary range info. Benefits section: health, dental, vision, etc., retirement, time off.
Schedule: 6.5 hours per day, 9 months per year.
Now we must not include boilerplate like "We appreciate your interest..." etc. Remove all that.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We'll wrap sections in maybe? Not required but we can just output headings and content.
We must not include or . Just fragment.
