We need to produce HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we have Company Description, Job Description, What We're Looking For (list of duties), Qualifications, Additional Information (benefits, schedule, pay). We must use for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. But we should only include sections when posting has real specific content. We need to map content to these headings appropriately.
We have:
- Company Description: could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe about the job? Could use "About the role" for company description? Usually "About the role" describes the position. But we have company description separate. Could treat as "About the role" (the role at IOTA). We'll include that.
- Job Description: This is a pooled posting listing subjects. Could be part of responsibilities? Might be "Responsibilities" includes duties like instructing, planning, etc. The "What We're Looking For" list is basically responsibilities/duties. So we can put that under

- Qualifications: we have qualifications list: Bachelor's degree required, Arkansas Teacher's license, belief in mission, ability to meet deadlines, humility, sense of humor, commitment, ability to construct hands-on materials. Also mental functions etc. That's qualifications.
- Additional Information: includes schedule (approx school day 7:30 a.m. to 3:30-4:30 p.m.), position expected to be 195 days, plus benefits package, salary range starting at $50,000 for fully licensed teachers, placement based on experience, FLSA EXEMPT, note about H1 visa not sponsored, diversity statement. So we can have sections: Schedule, Benefits, Pay. Also maybe "Additional Information" could be split.
We must not include headings with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual pay: starting at $50,000 for fully licensed teachers. That's specific enough to include Pay section. Benefits: "plus a benefits package" is vague but still a benefit mention. Might be considered substantive? It says "plus a benefits package." That's not specific but still indicates benefits exist. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does state "plus a benefits package." That's a statement of benefits, albeit vague. I'd include Benefits section with that sentence.
Schedule: we have approximate school day for staff runs from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30-4:30 p.m. Also position expected to be 195 days. That's schedule info. So we can include Schedule section.
Pay: we have starting at $50,000 for fully licensed teachers, placement based on experience. That's specific enough.
We should not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. There's a diversity statement: "Additional Information This employer strives for a balanced, productive workforce, which is diverse in terms of age, gender, and cultural identity. We do not base hiring or promotional decisions on factors other than performance and professional growth potential. Please note that we are unable to sponsor H1 VISA applicants." This is somewhat boilerplate but it's specific to the employer. It's not EEO/equal-opportunity? It is a diversity statement. The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. This diversity statement could be considered EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Might be removed. However it's part of Additional Information. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. So we should remove that diversity statement. Also the note about unable to sponsor H1 VISA applicants is also maybe legal boilerplate; could be removed. But it's specific info about visa sponsorship. Might be considered legal. Safer to remove that line as well. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. Removing that line might be removing substantive info (visa sponsorship). But it's likely considered boilerplate. The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. Visa sponsorship is not exactly EEO but could be considered legal. I'd keep it? The instruction says remove legal boilerplate. Visa sponsorship note is legal. I'd remove it to be safe.
Thus Additional Information after removing diversity and visa note leaves: "Position is expected to be 195 days, plus a benefits package." Also maybe we keep the sentence about salary? Actually salary is in the NOTE: "NOTE: Precise placement within the salary range (starting at $50,000 for fully licensed teachers) will be determined based on experience and salary placement guidelines." That's pay info.
We also have FLSA: EXEMPT. That's maybe not needed but could be included in Pay or Schedule? Probably not needed.
We'll produce sections:
About the role
with company description paragraphs.

- Effectively instruct students in assigned content area(s) as prescribed by IOTA's academic content standards through direct instruction, demonstrating, and using audio-visual aids and other materials to supplement presentations with the overall goal of engaging student learning.
- Work as part of an interdisciplinary team and within content areas planning and aligning curricula to ensure that instruction follows curriculum guidelines or requirements of state and school.
- Set clear short-term and long-term goals to drive instruction.

- Abide by all state and federal mandates in reporting sexual or physical abuse and neglect.
- Other duties as assigned.
Note some duplicates: Attend professional meetings appears twice (first and later). We'll keep unique.
We'll move schedule line to Schedule section.
Thus Responsibilities includes all except schedule line.
Qualifications: list:
- Bachelor’s degree required
- Must have an Arkansas Teacher’s license for Middle School Education 4-8 or 7-12
- Belief in the IOTA mission
- Ability to meet deadlines related to lesson plan submission, grades, and other requirements
- Humility, sense of humor, and rock-solid commitment to IOTA’s mission and the communities we serve

- Mental Functions, Physical Requirements, and Working Conditions: While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to sit, stand, walk, go up and down stairs, operate foot and hand controls, use a telephone and write. Occasionally the employee must lift and/or move up to twenty (20) or more pounds. This position requires accurate perceiving of sound, near and far vision, depth perception, handling and working with educational materials and/or objects, and providing oral information. Must have the ability to work for the duration of the daily contracted time period, and to be physically present and at assigned work, with only infrequent unexcused absences, during the contract year.
- Additional technical skills, knowledge, and abilities may be recommended by immediate supervisor and approved by the People Team.
We could keep as items, but the mental functions paragraph is long; could be a under Qualifications? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So qualifications is a list of requirements; we can use
- for each bullet. The mental functions paragraph is a requirement; we can put as a
- containing that sentence.
Skills: Not explicitly listed separate; maybe we could combine some skills under Qualifications. But we could create a Skills section if there are specific skills like "construct hands-on education materials", "use data", etc. However we already have those in qualifications. The instruction: prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might not need separate Skills section; we can incorporate skills into Qualifications.
Benefits: we have "plus a benefits package." That's vague but we can include as
under Benefits.
Pay: we have starting at $50,000 for fully licensed teachers, placement based on experience. We'll put as
under Pay.
Schedule: we have approximate school day for staff runs from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30-4:30 p.m.; position expected to be 195 days. We'll put as
under Schedule.
We should also maybe include FLSA EXEMPT? Not needed.
