SPED Teacher (9-12) (Bilingual Preferred)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Must not include duplicated lines. Must not include application instructions. Must not include cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must not create Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. The posting includes Salary Range, so Pay section can be included. Benefits section is present. Schedule? Not mentioned. So we should not include Schedule. Also maybe "About the role" corresponds to the initial description about CPS and position description. "Responsibilities" could be the Essential Functions and Specialty Functions. "Requirements" maybe Minimum Qualifications & Requirements. "Qualifications" maybe overlapping; but we need to decide which sections to include. The instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections only when posting has real specific content. We can combine overlapping info but must not lose substantive info. Let's extract content: - About CPS: mission, support, etc. This is about the organization and role context. Could go under "About the role". Could also be separate but we only have that heading. - Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher (but we must not repeat job title as heading). So we can include it in a paragraph maybe under About the role. - Under supervision of school principal, teachers are responsible for instruction, progress, tracking, discipline of all students in assigned classes, and performs other duties as assigned and required. That's a responsibility. - Specialty Functions: bullet list? It's a paragraph with multiple items: valid teaching license endorsed in LBS1; set goals for IEP; work collaboratively with case managers, counselors, general ed teachers; participate on multidisciplinary team. - Essential Functions: a list of responsibilities (demonstrate deep understanding, create environment, respond to needs, exhibit communication, prioritize safety, personalize learning, advocate for district vision). Those are responsibilities. - Minimum Qualifications & Requirements: bachelor's degree or higher; completion of CPS online application and teaching profile; valid teaching license with appropriate endorsement; physical requirements (Light Work); employment expectations (resident of Chicago or willing to become resident within six months; exemptions; onboarding requirements: TB test, drug test, background checks; drug and alcohol free workplace). Also EEO statement (but we must remove EEO boilerplate). The EEO paragraph is boilerplate; we should remove it. Also contact info for Equal Opportunity Compliance Office (should be removed as boilerplate). Also mention of Title IX etc (remove). So we keep the substantive qualifications: degree, application, license, physical requirements, residency requirement, onboarding requirements (TB test, drug test, background checks). Also maybe mention that CPS is drug and alcohol free workplace (that's substantive). We'll keep that. - Benefits: detailed list: Health & Wellness (medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, behavioral health & EAP, employee wellness program); Financial Security (basic life insurance, life and disability insurance, pension plans, supplemental retirement plans (403(b) and 457(b)), flexible spending accounts, spot pet insurance); Work-Life Balance (paid leave, sick leave, vacation days, parental leaves, short-term disability, religious holidays leaves). Also reference to benefits handbook. - Pay: Salary Range $64,469.94 to $82,839.39. - Schedule: not mentioned. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe implied but we should not create a Skills section unless there is specific content. There's no explicit skills list. So we omit Skills. - Qualifications: Could be separate from Requirements but we have both. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section, but headings are separate. We need to decide: The posting has "Minimum Qualifications & Requirements". That's both qualifications and requirements. We could put that under either Requirements or Qualifications. Since we have both headings available, we could split: Requirements: maybe the functional responsibilities? But that seems odd. Better to put the qualifications/requirements under "Requirements" heading (or "Qualifications"). The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have both Requirements and Qualifications if we have distinct content. But we don't have distinct separate content; we could treat "Requirements" as the minimum qualifications (degree, license, etc.) and "Qualifications" as maybe the specialty functions? But specialty functions are more responsibilities. Hmm. We could decide to include only Requirements (covering degree, license, physical, residency, onboarding) and Qualifications (maybe covering the specialty functions and essential functions as desired qualifications). However the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe better to combine into one section, either Requirements or Qualifications, and omit the other to avoid thin sections. Since we have both headings available but we should only include sections with real specific content. If we include both, one might be thin or duplicate. Safer to include only one of them, maybe "Requirements" for the minimum qualifications, and put the specialty functions and essential functions under "Responsibilities". Then we don't need a separate "Qualifications" heading. That seems logical. Thus sections: - About the role: includes CPS mission, position title, supervision statement maybe. - Responsibilities: includes specialty functions and essential functions (the bullet points). We'll format as

• . - Requirements: includes minimum qualifications & requirements (degree, application, license, physical requirements, residency expectation, onboarding requirements, drug-free workplace). We'll format as
  • . - Benefits: as described. - Pay: salary range. We'll omit Skills, Qualifications, Schedule. Now we need to ensure we preserve all substantive information. Let's extract details precisely. About CPS paragraph: "ABOUT CPS: We are an urban district on the rise. The support and resources we provide to our staff enables them to make the greatest difference where it’s needed most. Be a part of the change. Our mission is to provide a high quality public education for every child, in every neighborhood, that prepares each for success in college, career and civic life." We can keep that as prose under About the role. Position Title: "Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher". We'll include maybe as a sentence: "Position Title: Diverse Learners Teacher". Not as heading. Supervision sentence: "Under the supervision of the school principal, teachers are responsible for the instruction, progress, tracking, and discipline of all students in assigned classes, and performs other duties as assigned and required." This is a responsibility but we can include under Responsibilities. Now Specialty Functions paragraph: "Specialty Functions A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1 Set goals for the individualized education plan that are achievable and comparable to a student's peers in accordance with the State of Illinois IEP guidelines Work collaboratively with case managers, counselors, and general education teachers to determine instructional and social needs of students that ensure success while also participating on the multidisciplinary team to promote students' wellbeing" We need to parse: It seems missing punctuation. We'll treat each sentence as a bullet. - A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, endorsed in LBS1 - Set goals for the individualized education plan that are achievable and comparable to a student's peers in accordance with the State of Illinois IEP guidelines - Work collaboratively with case managers, counselors, and general education teachers to determine instructional and social needs of students that ensure success while also participating on the multidisciplinary team to promote students' wellbeing Now Essential Functions paragraph: "Essential Functions Within the context of the CPS Framework for Teaching, all teachers should utilize a continuous improvement process that refines his or her teaching practice. Each teacher should... Demonstrate a deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and student knowledge, in order to select learning objectives and design coherent instruction and assessments Create an environment for effective student learning and growth by establishing a respectful classroom culture with strong management of student behaviors and classroom procedures that promotes and appreciates the cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity of students Respond to the needs of all students by designing engaging classroom instruction with appropriately challenging questions, communication and discussion techniques, and instructionally aligned assessments Exhibit excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, and exercise sound, professional judgment especially in interactions with administration, colleagues, families, and students Prioritize student safety through consistent implementation of the Student Code of Conduct and school wide systems of management and discipline Personalize student learning through mastery and innovative use of curriculum supplements and technology resources, as available Advocate for the district’s vision and commit to our district’s common themes of equity, cultural competence, high expectations, developmental appropriateness, attention to individual students (including those with special needs), appropriate use of technology, and student assumption of responsibility" We need to split into bullet points. The leading sentence about continuous improvement process maybe also a responsibility. We'll treat each phrase after "Each teacher should..." as separate bullet. Thus bullets: - Utilize a continuous improvement process that refines his or her teaching practice (within the context of the CPS Framework for Teaching). - Demonstrate a deep understanding of content, pedagogy, and student knowledge, in order to select learning objectives and design coherent instruction and assessments. - Create an environment for effective student learning and growth by establishing a respectful classroom culture with strong management of student behaviors and classroom procedures that promotes and appreciates the cultural, racial, and linguistic diversity of students. - Respond to the needs of all students by designing engaging classroom instruction with appropriately challenging questions, communication and discussion techniques, and instructionally aligned assessments. - Exhibit excellent oral and written communication skills, strong interpersonal skills, and exercise sound, professional judgment especially in interactions with administration, colleagues, families, and students. - Prioritize student safety through consistent implementation of the Student Code of Conduct and school wide systems of management and discipline. - Personalize student learning through mastery and innovative use of curriculum supplements and technology resources, as available. - Advocate for the district’s vision and commit to our district’s common themes of equity, cultural competence, high expectations, developmental appropriateness, attention to individual students (including those with special needs), appropriate use of technology, and student assumption of responsibility. Now Minimum Qualifications & Requirements paragraph: "Minimum Qualifications & Requirements A bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher education Completion of the CPS online application and teaching profile at cps.edu/teach A valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, with the appropriate endorsement(s) for the role - information on obtaining a valid teacher license can be found at isbe.net/licensure Physical Requirements Light Work: Exerting up to twenty (20) pounds of force occasionally, or up to ten (10) pounds of force frequently, or a negligible amount of force constantly to move objects. Employment Expectations As a condition of employment with the Chicago Public Schools (CPS), an employee must be an actual resident of the City of Chicago or be willing to become a resident within six months of the date of his/her employment with Chicago Public Schools. For certain high-needs positions, exemptions to this policy may be available. All new hires must satisfactorily complete all CPS on boarding requirements which include, but are not limited to, passing a tuberculosis test, drug test and state and federal criminal background checks. CPS is a drug and alcohol free workplace." We need to remove the EEO boilerplate later. Also we need to keep the physical requirements description. We'll format as bullets: - Bachelor's degree or higher from a regionally accredited institution of higher education. - Completion of the CPS online application and teaching profile at cps.edu/teach. - Valid teaching license issued by the Illinois State Board of Education, with the appropriate endorsement(s) for the role (information on obtaining a valid teacher license can be found at isbe
