SpEd Resource Paraeducator

We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings 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 posting. Key info: - Job Title: Resource Paraeducator (but we should not repeat as heading) - Department: Special Education - Supervisor: Principal - Salary Schedule: Paraeducator (88) - Lane Placement A1 - Contract Length: Hourly - FLSA Classification: Non-exempt - Last Review Date: October 2020 - Hours per week: 29 - Closing date: posting closes at 3:00 pm on the date listed above (but we don't have date; we can drop as boilerplate? It's minor metadata; we can fold into short p or drop.) - Contact Amy Neal etc: contact info - we can drop as boilerplate? It's contact instructions; we should remove application instructions and contact? The instruction says remove application instructions. Contact info might be considered application instructions; we can drop. - Job Summary: The Special Education resource paraeducator assists the supervising teacher by performing a variety of task to support instruction and classroom programming. The special education paraeducator always works under the direction of the supervising teacher. The main responsibilities of the paraeducator is to provide direct services to students. The special education teacher will design, supervise, and coordinate the activities of each special education paraeducator. Attendance, physical presence, and timeliness are required and are essential functions of this position. - Essential Functions: list bullet points. - Non-Essential Functions: Other duties as assigned. - Required Education And Qualifications: High school diploma or equivalent; One of the following if working in a Title 1 school: 48 hours of college credit; or pass the ParaPro exam. - Required Prior Experience: Prior work with those with disabilities preferred. - Required Knowledge And Skills: Ability to follow directions... Skilled in operation of specific achievement testing and data collection. Ability to effectively manage stress. - Assigned Decision Making: description. - Interactions With Others: description. - Supervisory Responsibility: Oversees the safety of students. - Budget Responsibility: NA - Working Environment: description. - Physical Requirements: list. We need to map to sections: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education, experience), Qualifications (maybe knowledge/skills?), Skills (maybe knowledge and skills), Benefits (none), Pay (salary schedule?), Schedule (hours per week). We need to include only if real specific content. Pay: Salary Schedule: Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement A1. That's specific enough? It's a salary schedule reference. Could be considered pay info. We'll include Pay section with that. Schedule: Hours per week: 29. That's specific. Include Schedule. Benefits: none mentioned. So omit. About the role: Could use Job Summary. Responsibilities: Essential Functions list. Requirements: Required Education And Qualifications + Required Prior Experience? Could combine. Qualifications: maybe Required Knowledge And Skills? Or we could treat Knowledge And Skills as Skills section. But we need to follow headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what goes where. - About the role: Job Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions (list). - Requirements: Required Education And Qualifications + Required Prior Experience (maybe also Required Knowledge And Skills? but that's more skills). We'll put education and experience. - Qualifications: maybe Required Knowledge And Skills? But that's more skills. Could treat as Qualifications (knowledge/skills). Then Skills: maybe Assigned Decision Making, Interactions With Others, Supervisory Responsibility? But those are more like competencies. However we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Knowledge And Skills and Decision Making etc into Skills section. Better: Use: - About the role: Job Summary. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions. - Requirements: Education + Experience. - Qualifications: Knowledge And Skills (ability to follow directions, skilled in operation of specific achievement testing and data collection, ability to manage stress). - Skills: Decision Making, Interactions With Others, Supervisory Responsibility, Budget Responsibility (NA maybe omit), Working Environment? Actually Working Environment is more about conditions; could be part of About the role? But we have no separate section for Working Environment; we could include in About the role or Responsibilities? Might be better to put Working Environment under About the role? But we already used About the role for summary. Could add a paragraph about Working Environment in About the role. - Pay: Salary Schedule info. - Schedule: Hours per week. We must not create sections with filler like "NA". So omit Budget Responsibility. Physical Requirements: Could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? It's not a responsibility but a requirement. Could be part of Requirements? But we already have Requirements for education/experience; we could add Physical Requirements under Requirements as a list. However the instruction says use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can include Physical Requirements as a list under Requirements. Thus Requirements section could contain: Education, Experience, Physical Requirements (list). But we need to keep it structured: maybe separate subheadings? Not allowed; only headings are the specified ones. So we can just put paragraphs and lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must remove boilerplate: closing date, contact info, etc. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract substantive info: Job Summary paragraph(s): "The Special Education resource paraeducator assists the supervising teacher by performing a variety of task to support instruction and classroom programming. The special education paraeducator always works under the direction of the supervising teacher. The main responsibilities of the paraeducator is to provide direct services to students. The special education teacher will design, supervise, and coordinate the activities of each special education paraeducator. Attendance, physical presence, and timeliness are required and are essential functions of this position." Also later: "Attendance, physical presence, and timeliness are required and are essential functions of this position." repeated. We can combine. Essential Functions list: - Implement drill and practice exercises designed by the teacher to groups, as well as individual students. - Keep accurate data on assigned groups and/or individual students. The teacher prepares the method to be used in data collection. - Supervise and monitor student instructional activities within the school and in the assigned community settings.

(duplicate) We can deduplicate. Non-Essential Functions: Other duties as assigned (we can drop as boilerplate? It's not substantive? It's a line but maybe we can keep as brief? The instruction says remove duplicated lines, but not necessarily remove non-essential functions if it's just "Other duties as assigned". That's generic; could be considered boilerplate. Safer to omit. Required Education And Qualifications: - High school diploma or equivalent - One of the following if working in a Title 1 school: 48 hours of college credit; or pass the ParaPro exam.

Salary Schedule: Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement A1 Contract Length: Hourly (maybe part of Pay? but we have Schedule for hours per week; contract length hourly indicates pay type; we could include in Pay section.) FLSA Classification: Non-exempt (maybe not needed) Last Review Date: October 2020 (maybe drop as metadata) Hours per week: 29 (Schedule) Now craft HTML. We'll have:

  High school diploma or equivalent. One of the following if working in a Title 1 school: 48 hours of college credit; or pass the ParaPro exam.

  Prior work with those with disabilities preferred.

  Physical Requirements

  ? Not allowed; we cannot use h4. So we need to embed physical requirements as a list within Requirements section without extra heading. We can just add another
  • for physical requirements. But we need to differentiate? Could just add a paragraph "Physical requirements:" then list. Thus Requirements section will have paragraphs and a list.

    Skills

    maybe for Knowledge And Skills and Decision Making etc. But we have also Qualifications section. Let's assign: - Qualifications: Knowledge And Skills (ability to follow directions, skilled in operation..., ability to manage stress) - Skills: Decision Making, Interactions With Others, Supervisory Responsibility, Working Environment? Actually Working Environment is not a skill. Could be part of About the role. Better: Use Qualifications for Knowledge And Skills, Skills for Decision Making, Interactions With Others, Supervisory Responsibility. But we need to avoid thin sections; each will have some content. Let's do:

    Qualifications

    • Ability to follow the directions outline by the special education teacher
