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, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Location: Spanish/English dual language school, candidates must be bilingual and biliterate in Spanish. - English as a Second Language license at appropriate level highly preferred. - Boston Public Schools seeks an exceptional Dual Language Spanish/English Science teacher who is highly qualified and knowledgeable. - This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who desire to serve where their efforts matter. - In BPS, the teachers and leaders are committed to the vision of high expectations for achievement, equal access to high levels of instruction, the achievement of academic proficiency for all students, and the closing of the achievement gap among subgroups within the schools. - BPS is a great place for those who seek to work in an environment that supports their creativity and innovation, and respects their skills and abilities as a teacher. - Reports to: Principal/Head of Schools Responsibilities: - Teach: General Science in a Dual Language setting - Creatively provide an interdisciplinary course of study that incorporates state curricular frameworks that demonstrates an understanding of the nature of science and how to develop this understanding in all students. - Implement district learning goals and objectives using appropriate curriculum as identified by district Science Department. - Implement research-based district curriculum that challenges students to use scientific inquiry in their learning of science concepts. - Develop students' capacity to see science as a way of thinking and investigating. - Administer district mid-year and end-of-year assessments in accordance with district guidelines. Core Competencies: (list of competencies with subpoints). This seems like a list of competencies; could be considered under "Skills" or "Qualifications". The instructions: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to these sections. We have "About the role": could include location, description, reports to, vision statements. "Responsibilities": as listed. "Requirements": maybe required qualifications: Bachelor's degree, MA Teaching License in Science, Bilingual Education Endorsement, authorization to work, etc. "Qualifications": maybe preferred qualifications: experience teaching in urban schools, dual certification in ESL, degree in Education, etc. Also mention linguistic diversity preferences. "Skills": could be core competencies list. "Benefits": The posting mentions "Please refer to www.bostonpublicschools.org/ohc (under "Employee Benefits and Policies") for more information on salary and compensation." No explicit benefits listed. So we should NOT create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It only references a link; not specific benefits. So we should omit Benefits. "Pay": The posting mentions salaries listed by Unions and Grade/Step, but no specific numbers. It says "Please refer to ... for more information on salary and compensation." No explicit pay info. So we should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not give specific pay; just reference. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. So we omit Pay and Schedule. "Schedule": The posting mentions start and end times vary, some schools have longer day via Schedule A ELT. That's some schedule info. It says "The start and end times of BPS schools vary, as do the lengths of the school day. Some BPS schools have a longer school day through the 'Schedule A' Expanded Learning Time (ELT) agreement." That is specific schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, nondiscrimination policies, etc. Remove that. Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, scam-warning, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include the vision statements, reports to, etc. We must not invent or summarize away detail. Must preserve all substantive info; we can rephrase but must keep meaning. Use

for prose,

  • for lists. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Possibly also "Core Competencies" could be under Skills. We need to avoid empty headings. Let's extract content. About the role: - Position located in a Spanish/English dual language school, candidates must be bilingual and biliterate in Spanish. - English as a Second Language license at appropriate level highly preferred. - Boston Public Schools seeks an exceptional Dual Language Spanish/English Science teacher who is highly qualified and knowledgeable. - This is an exciting opportunity for teachers who desire to serve where their efforts matter. - In BPS, teachers and leaders committed to vision: high expectations for achievement, equal access to high levels of instruction, academic proficiency for all students, closing achievement gap among subgroups. - BPS is a great place for those who seek to work in an environment that supports creativity and innovation, respects skills and abilities as a teacher. - Reports to: Principal/Head of Schools. We can combine into prose. Responsibilities (list): - Teach General Science in a Dual Language setting. - Creatively provide an interdisciplinary course of study that incorporates state curricular frameworks that demonstrates an understanding of the nature of science and how to develop this understanding in all students. - Implement district learning goals and objectives using appropriate curriculum as identified by district Science Department. - Implement research-based district curriculum that challenges students to use scientific inquiry in their learning of science concepts. - Develop students' capacity to see science as a way of thinking and investigating. - Administer district mid-year and end-of-year assessments in accordance with district guidelines. Requirements (required qualifications): - Hold a Bachelor’s degree. - Hold a Massachusetts Teaching License in Science at the appropriate grade level. - Hold a Bilingual Education Endorsement (or equivalent Transitional Bilingual Education license or endorsement). - Meet all state and federal guidelines to be fully licensed and Highly Qualified. - Ability to meet the Standards of Effective Teaching established by Boston Public Schools (as outlined in core competencies). - Current authorization to work in the United States (must have by first day of employment).

Skills (core competencies): We need to list the core competencies as bullet points. The text includes subpoints under each competency. We could flatten them into bullet points summarizing each competency's description. But we must preserve all substantive information; we can keep the subpoints as sub-bullets? The instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid nested lists, but we can keep simple list. We could list each competency as a bullet, and include its subpoints as separate bullet points indented? Might be okay but we need to output only HTML fragment; nested
        inside
      • is allowed. Let's extract each competency and its subpoints: 1. Accountability for Student Achievement (II-A-1. Quality of Effort and Work, II-D-2. High Expectations, I-B-2. Adjustments to Practice) - Sets ambitious learning goals for all students, creates cognitively demanding tasks, and models the belief that all students can master challenging material through effective effort - Assesses students’ understanding regularly with ambitious learning goals in mind and takes ownership of making necessary adjustments to instruction to reach goals despite setbacks - Passionate and optimistic about their students, their content, and the teaching profession 2.

Well-Structured Lessons) - Demonstrates mastery of and enthusiasm for the content area and the pedagogy it requires - Demonstrates understanding of how the subject matter applies in real-world settings and connects to other content areas and relevant standards - Can convey content in creative and engaging ways that align to standards 3.

Professional Reflection & Collaboration (IV-A-1. Reflective Practice, IV-C-1. Professional Collaboration) - Regularly reflects on practice, seeks and responds to feedback, and demonstrates self-awareness and commitment to continuous learning and development - Seeks to participate in and contribute to a collaborative adult learning community. We can include these as list items. Schedule: - The start and end times of BPS schools vary, as do the lengths of the school day. - Some BPS schools have a longer school day through the "Schedule A" Expanded Learning Time (ELT) agreement. We should not include any boilerplate like EEO, nondiscrimination, etc. Now produce HTML fragment with sections. We need to use

        for each section heading. We'll output something like:

        About the role

        ...

        Responsibilities

        • ...
        • ...

        Requirements

          ...

        Qualifications

          ...

        Skills

          ...

        Schedule

        ...

        Make sure not to include empty sections. Check for any duplicated content: The posting also mentions "BTU, Group I" maybe a union reference; we could include that under About the role? It's a term. Might be considered metadata; but it's substantive? It's a term of employment. Could include in About the role as a note. However, the instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

        or drop it. "BTU, Group I" is minor metadata; we could include in a short p under About the role or drop it. Probably drop it as it's not essential. But we could keep it as a short sentence: "Position is BTU, Group I." It's not required but we can keep. Also "Please refer to www.bostonpublicschools.org/ohc (under "Employee Benefits and Policies") for more information on salary and compensation." That's a reference; we could include in About the role as a note about compensation details. But we are not creating Pay section. We could mention that salary info is available via that link. However, the instruction says do not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It does not state salary; just reference. We could include that reference in About the role as a note. That's permissible. But we must preserve ALL substantive information; the reference is substantive? It's a pointer to where to find salary. Might be considered substantive. We'll include a short sentence:
