SpEd Resource Paraeducator

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate like closing note, contact info, hours per week? Hours per week is schedule info; we can include Schedule section if present. The posting includes "Hours per week: 29". That's schedule info. Also "Salary Schedule Paraeducator (88)" and "Lane Placement A1". That's pay info? It says Salary Schedule Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement A1. That's pay info. So we can include Pay section with that. Benefits? Not mentioned. So we omit Benefits. Also we have Job Summary, Essential Functions, Non-Essential Functions, Required Education And Qualifications, Required Prior Experience, Required Knowledge And Skills, Assigned Decision Making, Interactions With Others, Supervisory Responsibility, Budget Responsibility, Working Environment, Physical Requirements. We need to map to headings: About the role (maybe Job Summary), Responsibilities (Essential Functions), Requirements (maybe Required Education And Qualifications + Required Prior Experience?), Qualifications (maybe same?), Skills (Required Knowledge And Skills), Pay, Schedule. Also maybe Working Environment could be part of About the role? But we need to follow instruction: use headings only for those listed. We can combine multiple pieces under a heading. We must not invent sections. So we will produce:

About the role

with Job Summary paragraph.

Responsibilities

with Essential Functions list (maybe also Non-Essential Functions? but we can include as part of responsibilities). Use

• for each essential function.

  Requirements

  maybe combine Required Education And Qualifications and Required Prior Experience. Use

  for prose and maybe

  for list.

  Skills

  with Required Knowledge And Skills (list).

  Pay

  with Salary Schedule info.

  Schedule

  with Hours per week. We must not include Benefits because not present. We must not include headings with filler. Ensure we preserve all substantive info: need to include details like "Physical, punctual, reliable, and predictable regular attendance is an essential job function..." etc. That is part of responsibilities? It appears earlier in the text before Job Summary. Should be included somewhere, maybe in Responsibilities or About the role. We'll include in Responsibilities as part of essential functions? Actually it's a statement about attendance being essential. Could be a separate bullet. We also need to include "Must be able to work assigned hours." etc. Also "Bus supervision may be included." etc. Also "Participate in professional development training required by the Special Education Department." Also "Attend and physical presence are required and is an essential function of this position." (duplicate). We'll include. We need to ensure we don't repeat boilerplate like closing note, contact info, etc. Remove those. Also remove "Job Title Resource Paraeducator Department Special Education Supervisor Principal Salary Schedule Paraeducator (88) Lane Placement A1 Contract Length Hourly FLSA Classification Non-exempt Last Review Date October 2020". That's metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we could include a short paragraph at top maybe with that info? But they said we can drop it. Safer to drop it entirely, as it's minor metadata. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; is that substantive? It's metadata like supervisor, salary schedule, lane placement, contract length, FLSA classification, last review date. Might be considered substantive? The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can include a short

  with that info. Let's include a

  with that metadata. But we must not repeat job title as heading; we already have job title not as heading. Thus output:

  Department: Special Education; Supervisor: Principal; Salary Schedule: Paraeducator (88); Lane Placement: A1; Contract Length: Hourly; FLSA Classification: Non-exempt; Last Review Date: October 2020.

  Then sections. Now we need to list essential functions. Let's extract them: - 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. (Examples include, but are not limited to assisting students accessing public transportation, recess supervision, assisting students in acquiring employment skills, assisting students in development of self-help and personal skills, etc.) - Provide personal maintenance care for students related to self-help and hygiene. (Examples include, but are not limited to gastronomy tube feeding, oral feeding, catharizing, toilet training, changing diapers, and personal care, such as tooth brushing, etc.) - Implement appropriate procedures consistently in managing the behavior of students in accordance with district policies. - Support a school environment that helps students develop and maintain a positive self-concept. - Supervise students to help provide a safe learning environment. - Appropriately use classroom materials/technology. - Assist students in regular classes. - Prepare and adapt instructional materials under the direction of the classroom teacher. - Maintain professional confidentiality regarding student progress, physical/emotional limitations, discussing these only with supervising teacher, related service professionals, administrator, or program coordinator. - Must be able to work assigned hours. - Bus supervision may be included. - Participate in professional development training required by the Special Education Department. - Attend and physical presence are required and is an essential function of this position. (maybe duplicate) - Physical, punctual, reliable, and predictable regular attendance is an essential job function to perform the essential duties and responsibilities of the position. - Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of this position. (maybe not essential function but we can include) - To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential function satisfactorily, with or without reasonable accommodations. (maybe intro) But we should keep substantive info; we can include these as bullets. Non-Essential Functions: Other duties as assigned (maybe we can include as a bullet under Responsibilities? but it's non-essential; we could still include but maybe not needed. We'll include as a bullet under Responsibilities? Might be okay. Now 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. We'll list as bullets. Required Prior Experience: - Prior work with those with disabilities preferred. Required Knowledge And Skills: - Ability to follow the directions outline by the special education teacher and related service professionals for instructional practice, behavioral interventions, and functional skills development. - Skilled in the operation of specific achievement testing and data collection. - Ability to effectively manage stress. - Assigned Decision Making: Makes decisions concerning the best way to accomplish tasks assigned by the classroom teacher and related service professionals. - Must take directions well and be able to work within specific guidelines. - Makes suggestions but must be willing to follow directions. - Concerns for safety of self and others. - Interactions With Others: Interacts positively with students, parents, staff, teachers, administration, and other district personnel. - Supervisory Responsibility: Oversees the safety of students. - Budget Responsibility: NA (maybe we can drop as it's NA) - Working Environment: Work setting is mainly in the classroom. May be asked to work inside or outside the building to accomplish assigned tasks. Working conditions can be in hot and cold weather. May experience stress from disruptive students and/or groups of students. - Physical Requirements: While performing the duties of this job, the employee is required to speak and/or hear. Frequently required to stand, walk, reach with hands and arms and stoop, kneel, and crouch. Occasionally required to use hands to handle or feel and must occasionally climb or balance. Specific vision abilities required include close vision, distance vision, color vision, peripheral vision, and depth perception. Must be able to stand/sit for long periods of time. Must be able to lift and/or move up to 50 lbs. Note: The list of essential and marginal functions and of physical requirements is not exhaustive and may be supplemented in accordance with the requirements of the job. We need to map to Skills heading: maybe include Required Knowledge And Skills plus some of the other categories like Decision Making, Interactions, Supervisory, Working Environment, Physical Requirements. But the instruction says use headings only for those listed; we can put all under Skills or maybe split: Skills for Required Knowledge And Skills, and maybe About the role for Working Environment? But we already have About the role for Job Summary. Could add Working Environment under About the role as extra paragraph. But we must not create headings not listed. So we can include extra paragraphs under existing headings. Thus:
