Teacher Assistant

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. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. Title: Teacher Assistant Location: Coquille, OR Program: South Coast Head Start Reports to: Teacher/Advocate HR Contact: hr[at]orcca.us Pay Level: Starts at $16.32, Depending on Experience Staff Supervised: None FSLA Status: Non-exempt from overtime Effective: 07/09/2022 Position Type: Full-Time, Year-Round Revised: 7/09/2021 External Applicants: ... (application instructions) – remove. Internal Applicants: ... – remove. Job Description sections: PRIMARY PURPOSE, ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS (with subcategories EDUCATION, BUS MONITOR (if applicable), Team Expectations, Individual Expectations), Experience And Education Requirements, Additional Competencies/preferences, Work Environment, Other, etc. We need to produce sections: About the role (maybe from PRIMARY PURPOSE and general description), Responsibilities (essential job functions), Requirements (experience and education requirements), Qualifications (maybe credentials?), Skills (maybe additional competencies?), Benefits (none given), Pay (we have pay level), Schedule (position type full-time year-round). Also maybe Work Environment could be part of Responsibilities or separate but we only have allowed headings list; we can put work environment under Responsibilities or maybe under About the role? The instruction: Use headings only from that list. So we must map content to those headings. If a section doesn't have content, we omit it. Thus: - About the role: could include PRIMARY PURPOSE, location, program, reports to, position type, etc. But we must not repeat job title. Provide prose. - Responsibilities: list of essential job functions (education, bus monitor, team expectations, individual expectations). Use

• . - Requirements: maybe "Experience And Education Requirements". Use
  • . - Qualifications: maybe credentials like AA in ECE, CDA, Oregon Registry steps. Could be part of Requirements but we can separate if we have content. However we need to avoid thin sections. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we need to follow headings list; we can include both if they have substantive content. Let's see. We have Experience And Education Requirements: includes Infant/Toddler, Baby Promise AA in ECE or related field or higher, Oregon Registry Step 9 or higher, Infant/Toddler CDA credential, Oregon Registry Step 7 or higher, Enrolled in Infant/Toddler CDA credential, Minimum Requirements: High school diploma or equivalent. Then Additional Competencies/preferences: Paid experience working with infants/toddlers preferred. Then Preschool (in order of preference) similar AA, Oregon Registry Step 9 or higher, Preschool CDA credential, Oregon Registry Step 7 or higher, Minimum Requirements: High school diploma or equivalent (Upon hire, must be enrolled in CDA program to be completed within 2 years) or; High school diploma or equivalent (Upon hire, must be enrolled in AA program with professional development plan to achieve Oregon Registry Step 7 or higher within 2 years). Additional Competencies/preferences: Paid experience working with preschoolers preferred. Thus we can have Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (credentials/steps). But they overlap. Might be better to have one Requirements section covering both education/experience and qualifications. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine into one "Requirements" section that includes education, experience, qualifications. Then we could have "Skills" for additional competencies/preferences (like paid experience, etc). But those are also preferences. Could put them under Skills. Pay: we have Pay Level: Starts at $16.32, Depending on Experience. Schedule: Position Type: Full-Time, Year-Round. Benefits: none given, so omit. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Pay, Schedule. Now we need to extract substantive content. About the role: combine PRIMARY PURPOSE, location, program, reports to, position type maybe. Also mention that it's full-time year-round, location Coquille OR, program South Coast Head Start, reports to Teacher/Advocate. Also mention that it's non-exempt from overtime? That's more about pay classification maybe but could be in About the role. But we have Pay section separate. Let's craft About the role paragraph: "Assist Teacher in the delivery of high-quality infant, toddler, and preschool services as defined by the Head Start Performance Standards, State Licensing Rules, program work plans, and program goals. Assist with day-to-day operations of the assigned classroom, maintain quality environments with attention to safety and health prevention measures. Position is based in Coquille, OR within the South Coast Head Start program and reports to a Teacher/Advocate. This is a full-time, year-round role." That seems good. Responsibilities: list essential job functions. We need to capture all substantive duties without boilerplate. The list is long; we need to preserve all substantive information but not repeat lines. We'll create bullet points summarizing each duty but must not invent or summarize away detail. However we can keep the essence but must not lose detail. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we cannot condense or paraphrase? It says preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the details as they appear, but we can format as list items. Likely we can copy each sentence as a bullet point. However there are many sentences; we need to ensure we don't omit any. Let's extract the essential job functions section. From the posting: ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS (Reason position exists is to perform these functions): EDUCATION Ensure children are supervised at all times and maintain appropriate ratios and group sizes.Ensure children are signed in and out of class and bus and released only to authorized adults.Clean and sanitize classrooms, equipment and materials according to policies and procedures.Complete daily classroom and playground safety checks, as assigned.Assist teacher in providing responsive care, effective teaching practices, and an organized learning environment for all children.Assist teacher to implement The Creative Curriculum to fidelity to provide quality, developmentally appropriate indoor and outdoor learning experiences.Assist in integrating physical activity and utilize program resources to enhance daily lesson plans.Provide input and support to ensure learning environments include age-appropriate, and culturally and linguistically responsive supplies, materials, equipment and space, including accommodations for children with disabilities, with periodic changes to support interests, development and learning.Use positive guidance strategies to support social-emotional and behavioral health.Provide family-style meal service with sufficient time for children to eat, following food safety guidelines for all food service.Track daily attendance for each child and implement program attendance follow-up procedures, as assigned.Assist Teacher in completing screenings and assessments, as assigned.Perform Teacher job duties in the temporary absence of the Teacher.Complete additional tasks and job duties as assigned by supervisor.Assist teacher in delivery of appropriate services to children with IFSP/IEP’s.Provide supportive environments individual supports.Support team implementation of individual plans for special health needs, including asthma, diabetes, emotional or other conditions that require additional service provisions.In coordination with Teacher, regularly share information with families regarding their child’s routines, activities, and behaviors (conversations, phone calls, notes home, etc.)Encourage ongoing parent participation in classrooms, site family events, and other program activities.Adhere to federal, state and program documentation requirements.Participate in on-going team communication to support service delivery, promoting problem-solving and conflict resolution within assigned team.Support outreach and recruitment efforts by communicating the program’s eligibility, selection, and enrollment policies and practices to families, other service providers, and the general public.Provide supervision to parents, assigned volunteers and practicum studentsProvide constructive ongoing feedback and support in professional growth BUS MONITOR (if applicable) Ride bus to and from class and on field trips: greet children and parents, share information, perform health check, and monitor children’s behavior for safety at all times.Receive direction from the Bus Driver to ensure a safe transportation system.

It's a lot. We'll create bullet points for each sentence or clause. However there are many run-on sentences without punctuation. We need to split them logically. But we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can keep the exact text but separate into bullets for readability. That should be okay. We'll need to ensure we don't miss any piece. Let's copy the EDUCATION block text exactly as given: "Ensure children are supervised at all times and maintain appropriate ratios and group sizes.Ensure children are signed in and out of class and bus and released only to authorized adults.Clean and sanitize classrooms, equipment and materials according to policies and procedures.Complete daily classroom and playground safety checks, as assigned.Assist teacher in providing responsive care, effective teaching practices, and an organized learning environment for all children.Assist teacher to implement The Creative Curriculum to fidelity to provide quality, developmentally appropriate indoor and outdoor learning experiences.Assist in integrating physical activity and utilize program resources to enhance daily lesson plans.Provide input and support to ensure learning environments include age-appropriate, and culturally and linguistically responsive supplies, materials, equipment and space, including accommodations for children with disabilities, with periodic changes to support interests, development and learning.Use positive guidance strategies to support social-emotional and behavioral health.Provide family-style meal service with sufficient time for children to eat, following food safety guidelines for all food service.Track daily attendance for each child and implement program attendance follow-up procedures, as assigned.Assist Teacher in completing screenings and assessments, as assigned.Perform Teacher job duties in the temporary absence of the Teacher.Complete additional tasks and job duties as assigned by supervisor.Assist teacher in delivery of appropriate services to children with IFSP/IEP’s.Provide supportive environments individual supports.Support team implementation of individual plans for special health needs, including asthma, diabetes, emotional or other conditions that require additional service provisions.In coordination with Teacher, regularly share
