TEACHER, ELEMENTARY - PHYSICAL EDUCATION, KINDERGARTEN-8TH GRADE
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate: application deadline, apply online, etc. Also remove EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse content:
Job Description block: includes application deadline etc - remove.
About This Job: "Teaches appropriate grade level standards based curriculum in Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies and Personal Development to diverse elementary students, following District Literacy Program and Everyday Math or other school/District approved curriculum."
That's prose.
What DPS Offers You: includes culture description, salary info, total reward offerings: time off, health and wellness benefits, PERA Retirement, employee association. Also mention salary link. We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does mention salary but not a specific number; says "Salary: Click here for the DCTA Teacher and SSP Hourly Schedule." That's not a specific salary figure. The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). The salary is not a specific number; it's a link to schedule. This could be considered placeholder? It says "Salary: Click here for the DCTA Teacher and SSP Hourly Schedule." That's not a specific figure; it's a reference. Might be considered not specific enough. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state salary info (link). But is that considered stating them? It states that salary info is available via link. Might be okay to include Pay section with that info? However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to include Benefits section (time off, health and wellness benefits, PERA Retirement) and maybe not Pay because it's not a concrete figure. But we could include Pay with the statement about salary schedule link. The rule: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". The salary statement is not exactly those but it's a reference. I'd lean to include Pay section with that sentence.
What You'll Do: list of duties (many sentences). Could be turned into
- each duty.
What You'll Need: list of requirements: Bachelor's degree, valid Colorado teaching license, etc. Also "Lead for racial and educational excellence..." etc. Also "Live and work with a permanent home address in Colorado". Also "Have the ability with or without accommodations to meet the physical demands of the position." Also maybe "A Master's Degree is only required for Concurrent Enrollment positions." That's a requirement.
We should not include EEO statement.
Also "About Us" section: description of DPS. Could be considered "About the role"? Actually About Us is about organization, not role. Could be omitted? The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. About Us is substantive but not about role. However headings list does not include About Us; we have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. About Us could go under About the role? Might be considered extra. But we could include it as a paragraph under About the role? The heading "About the role" is for role description. The About Us is about organization; maybe we can omit because not in allowed headings. But we could still include as a
without heading? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says use those for section headings. Probably we should stick to those headings. So we can put About the role heading and include both the "About This Job" and "About Us" content under it? Might be mixing. Better to have About the role for role description, and maybe we can omit About Us.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep About Us info somewhere. If we omit heading, we could still include as a
without heading? The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities...). It doesn't say we cannot have other headings, but we should follow the pattern. Safer to include About the role heading and put role description; then maybe add another heading like "About DPS"? Not in list. Might be considered extra heading not allowed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exclusive. But to be safe, we could include About Us under a heading like "About DPS". However they didn't list that. Might be okay but risk.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, maybe we combine About the role and About Us under About the role heading? That would dilute but still preserve info. Let's do that: Under About the role
we include paragraphs: first about teaching duties, second about DPS overview.
Then Responsibilities: list of duties from "What You'll Do". Use - .
Then Requirements: maybe combine "What You'll Need" and also "Hold a Bachelor's degree..." etc. Use
- .
Qualifications: maybe same as Requirements? Could split but we have limited headings. Could use Requirements for qualifications and Skills for skills? The posting doesn't have explicit skills list besides maybe "ability to meet physical demands". Could treat that as Skills.
Benefits: from "What DPS Offers You": culture, time off, health and wellness benefits, PERA Retirement, employee association. Also mention salary? We'll put Pay separate.
Pay: from salary info.
Schedule: not mentioned; we should not create Schedule section because not stated.
Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Benefits, Pay. Possibly Skills if we have something.
Let's extract details.
About This Job: "Teaches appropriate grade level standards based curriculum in Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies and Personal Development to diverse elementary students, following District Literacy Program and Everyday Math or other school/District approved curriculum."
