SpEd Self-Contained Paraeducator
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real content. We need to parse the posting. We have job title: Self-Contained Paraeducator (but we must not repeat as heading). We have metadata: closing time, contact, hours per week: 29, department, supervisor, salary schedule, lane placement, contract length, FLSA classification, last review date. Those are minor metadata; we can fold into a short
or drop. Probably include a short paragraph with that info. We need sections: About the role (maybe job summary). Responsibilities (essential functions). Requirements (required education and qualifications, prior experience). Qualifications maybe same as requirements? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide which sections have content. We have: - Job Summary: description of role. That could be About the role. - Essential Functions: list of duties. That's Responsibilities. - Required Education And Qualifications: includes high school diploma, etc. That's Requirements/Qualifications. - Required Prior Experience: prior work with disabilities preferred. - Required Knowledge And Skills: ability to follow directions, etc. That's Skills. - Physical Requirements: maybe part of Requirements? Could be included under Requirements or separate? Not listed as a heading option but we could put under Requirements. - Working Environment: maybe part of About the role? Not needed. - Benefits, Pay, Schedule: Not explicitly stated. There's salary schedule "Paraeducator (88)" lane placement C1, contract length hourly, FLSA non-exempt. No explicit pay amount or benefits. So we should NOT create Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It mentions "Hours per week: 29" which is schedule info. That's schedule. So we could include a Schedule section with that info. However the instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state hours per week: 29, so we can include Schedule section. It also mentions salary schedule but not actual pay amount. So we should not create Pay section because no specific pay. Benefits not mentioned. Thus sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (education/qualifications + prior experience), Skills (knowledge and skills), Schedule (hours per week). Possibly also include a short paragraph for metadata (contact, closing, etc.) before sections. We must not repeat job title as heading. Use
for each section heading.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details exactly as given, but we can format into lists.
We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present.
We need to include all essential functions list items. Let's extract them:
Essential Functions (as listed):
- 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. (Seems duplicated: "Attend and physical presence are required and is an essential function of this position." Probably means "Attendance and physical presence are required and is an essential function". We'll keep as is.)
Also earlier: "Attendance, physical presence, and timeliness are required and are essential functions of this position." That's also part of essential functions but maybe duplicate. We'll include as separate bullet? Might be redundant but we must preserve all substantive information; we can include but maybe combine? Safer to include as separate bullet: "Attendance, physical presence, and timeliness are required and are essential functions of this position." However later they say "Attend and physical presence are required and is an essential function". We'll include both as separate bullets to preserve.
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.
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? It's substantive? It says NA, which is placeholder; we should not include placeholder text. So we can omit Budget Responsibility line.)
- 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: bullet list.
We need to decide what goes into Skills section. The heading "Skills" likely for Required Knowledge And Skills. We'll put those items there.
Requirements section could include Required Education And Qualifications and Required Prior Experience.
We also have Physical Requirements and Working Environment; maybe they belong under Requirements as well? Could be separate but we have limited headings. Could put them under Requirements as sublist? But we must follow instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings only. So we need to map content to those headings.
Thus:
- About the role: Job Summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Functions list.
- Requirements: Required Education And Qualifications + Required Prior Experience + Physical Requirements + Working Environment? Might be too much but okay.
- Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? But we need both headings? The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. It doesn't say we must use all; we can choose which have real content. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are separate headings; we could put education/qualifications under Requirements, and prior experience under Qualifications? Or we could put education under Requirements, and prior experience under Qualifications. However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to have fewer sections. So we could combine education, prior experience, physical requirements, working environment into Requirements section. And put knowledge/skills into Skills section. That yields About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule.
We must not create Qualifications section if we don't have distinct content; we can omit.
Thus sections:
