SY 26-27 Anticipated (Temporary) ELPT Bilingual Teacher
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate like link, posting date, location? Location maybe not needed but could be part of About the role? It's metadata; we can fold into short
. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can include location and posting date in a short
maybe under About the role.
We must not include application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Here is the link to the ELPT nomination form..." that's a link; we should drop it as it's application instruction? Probably drop.
We need to extract sections:
About the role: description of ELPT role: The Office of Language and Cultural Education (OLCE) annually asks principals to nominate an English Learner Program Teacher (ELPT). The ELPT should be a teacher leader who supports school leadership in the administration of the EL program, leads professional development of teachers regarding English Language Development (ELD) and instruction for English Learners (ELs), and engages parents of ELs to participate in the education of their children. District-managed schools with 20 or more ELs receive supplemental positions (0.5-2.0 FTE, depending on the EL student population). The ELPT must be staffed in that position. At least 50% of the ELPT position has to be dedicated to ELPT coordination duties exclusive of teaching duties (in schools with 250+ ELs, 100% of the ELPT position has to be dedicated to ELPT coordination). The ELPT is not the sole person responsible for providing English Learner services for English Learners who are in classes without a certified Bilingual and/or English as a Second Language teacher, except in schools with 19 or fewer English Learners. Teachers in schools with 1-19 English Learners have the option to accept or reject the principal’s assignment of the ELPT role compensated with the ELPT stipend. If no one accepts the role then the Principal shall assign it to a qualified administrator and when not possible, to a qualified teacher. ELPTs participate in quarterly training from OLCE, which include professional development sessions/tools around high-quality instruction for English learners. ELPTs provide these professional development opportunities during the school day to preK-12 grade teachers who provide instruction to ELs at their school.
That's a lot; we can put as prose under About the role.
Responsibilities: list from "English Learner Program Teacher Roles and Responsibilities" bullet points: Share CPS and OLCE’s Vision and Mission; Hold a Bilingual and/or ESL Endorsement*; Knowledge of standards (e.g., WIDA ELD, CCSS, etc.); Understanding of district policies and procedures for ELs; Strong organizational and communication skills; Promote high-quality instruction for all ELs; Advocate equity and respect for all EL cultures and languages represented in the school. Then PROGRAM COORDINATION list many items; INSTRUCTIONAL list; ADVISORY list. We can combine all responsibilities into a single
- list.
Requirements/Qualifications: maybe separate: Qualifications (the bullet list before PROGRAM COORDINATION) and Requirements? The posting has "Qualifications" heading then bullet list. Then sections PROGRAM COORDINATION, INSTRUCTIONAL, ADVISORY are responsibilities. So we can have Qualifications section with those bullet items. Requirements maybe not separate; we could treat Qualifications as Requirements. But we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. We have Qualifications content. We could also have Requirements (maybe none). Better to have Qualifications section.
Skills: maybe not separate; we could embed skills within Qualifications. But we could create Skills section if there is explicit skills list: "Strong organizational and communication skills" is a skill. Could put under Skills. However we already have Qualifications includes that. To avoid duplication, we could have Qualifications and Skills separate but ensure not duplicate content. Might be okay to have Qualifications (education/endorsement) and Skills (organizational, communication). But risk of duplication. Safer to have one Qualifications section that includes all bullet points. Then we can omit Skills.
Benefits: we have Benefits section with subpoints: Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Work-Life Balance. We'll create Benefits section with
- for each benefit item.
Pay: Salary Range $64,469.94 to $82,839.39. We'll create Pay section with
.
Schedule: none, omit.
We also need to include location and posting date maybe as a short
under About the role or separate metadata. We'll add a
with "Posted Aug 27, 2026, 11:07:24 AM. Location: South Side-1330 East 50th Street (Beulah Shoesmith School)."
