STEAM-Focused CORAL After School Instructor
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We should map content accordingly.
We need to preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). The posting includes staff member insight (quote) - that's like about the role? Could be "About the role". Program overview maybe also about role. General function maybe responsibilities. Job duties and responsibilities -> Responsibilities. Qualifications -> Qualifications. Education maybe part of qualifications. Other qualifications maybe also qualifications. Skills maybe from qualifications: knowledge of block based coding, lesson planning, classroom management, academic tutoring, safety/risk management, etc. Benefits, Pay, Schedule not present, so we should not include those sections.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc.
We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role (staff insight + program overview + general function?), Responsibilities (job duties), Qualifications (education + other qualifications + maybe skills), Skills (maybe separate). But we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section? But rules: Use headings for those specific labels if we have content. We could have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Skills. That seems okay.
We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Let's extract content:
Staff Member Insight: quote about working at Catholic Charities SCC, CORAL after-school program as a CASI. That's about the role.
Program Overview: description of CORAL San José goal, serving 22 schools, etc.
General Function: Under supervision of STEAM Program Supervisor, responsible for facilitation of STEAM curricula, develop and carry out STEAM enrichment programs, raise academic achievement in small group setting.
Job Duties And Responsibilities: list bullet-like sentences (no actual bullet markers). We need to convert to - . Items:

We also have a disclaimer about description not exhaustive etc - we can drop as boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate; but it's part of job description. The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This disclaimer is not exactly those but could be considered boilerplate. However it's substantive about nature of work. Might keep? Probably safe to keep as part of "About the role" or "General function". But we can include as a paragraph under General function? It says: "This position description intends to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this job. It is not intended to include all duties and responsibilities. The order in which duties and responsibilities are listed is not significant. Because of a need to remain responsive to the needs of our clients and our Agency’s operations, responsibilities may be modified at any time." That's generic but still part of job description. I'd keep it as a paragraph under General function or About the role.
Also EEO statement: "Catholic Charities is a non-profit, non-discriminatory service organization and employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation or disability. Persons seeking employment are entitled to freedom from harassment and retaliation and reasonable accommodation for qualified disabilities." That's EEO boilerplate, should be removed.
Thus we remove that.

Program Overview: The goal of CORAL San José is to improve academic achievement in an after-school setting. Serving twenty two schools and a community center throughout San José, CORAL will provide high quality literacy support, project-based learning and STEAM activities linked to classroom curricula and California State Standards. CORAL seeks to strengthen children’s foundation of basic skills, while providing them with a rich and high quality literacy, STEAM and enrichment curriculum.
General Function: Under the direct supervision of the STEAM Program Supervisor the STEAM CORAL After School Instructor (CASI) will be responsible for the facilitation of STEAM curricula, and programs in the CORAL Afterschool classrooms. The STEAM after school instructor will develop and carry out STEAM enrichment programs and work to raise academic achievement in a small group setting. This position description intends to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this job. It is not intended to include all duties and responsibilities. The order in which duties and responsibilities are listed is not significant. Because of a need to remain responsive to the needs of our clients and our Agency’s operations, responsibilities may be modified at any time.
Then Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
- Planning and execution of STEAM lessons and activities
- Attending regular STEAM professional development sessions for developing new STEAM practices and programs
- Teach, direct and supervise school age children
- Maintain daily attendance
- Maintain data entry requirements
- Conduct home visits if needed

- Carry out all policies of the site, agency, and overall San Jose CORAL goals and mission
- Travel between school sites to offer quality programming to engage students in STEAM activities
- Perform all other duties as required by the CORAL
Then Qualifications:
We could have Qualifications heading covering knowledge areas, experience, CPR, lifting, travel, education, other qualifications.
But we might also separate Skills heading for knowledge areas (General Science, Math and Art, Technology & Engineering, Lesson planning, Classroom management, Academic Tutoring, Safety/Risk Management). However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section, but we could also have Skills separate if we have enough content.
Let's create Qualifications section that includes experience requirements, education, other qualifications, and maybe also skills list.
But we also have a separate "Qualifications" heading in the original; we can keep that.
Thus:
Qualifications
- Minimum of two years experience working with children
- Knowledge of working in racially diverse communities, under‑performing schools, low‑socio‑economic areas
- Current CPR and First Aid training (must acquire)
- Ability to lift up to 25 lb and participate in physical activities with students
- Willingness to travel between school sites
- Education: BA in Education or related field or equivalent work experience; or AA or minimum of 48 college units; or qualifications for an instructional aide per LEA policy; or High School diploma/GED
- Other qualifications: Fingerprint background clearance via LiveScan; must provide TB test results
Then Skills section:
Skills
- General Science, Math and Art
- Technology & Engineering – knowledge of any block‑based coding language; willingness to learn and adapt new STEAM teaching practices
- Lesson planning and implementation
- Classroom management
- Academic tutoring
- Safety / Risk Management in a child‑centered program
We should not include Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
Now ensure we didn't repeat job title. We didn't.
Check for any boilerplate left: we removed EEO. The disclaimer about description we kept under General function. That's okay.
Now output only HTML fragment.
Let's craft final
