Teacher - [English] and Moderate Disabilities/Inclusion, Gr. 9-12 [Brighton High] (Long-Term Substitute) (SY26-27)

We need to produce 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. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, scam warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. We need to preserve all substantive information. Let's parse the posting. Key content: - "THIS IS A LONG-TERM SUB POSITION that is expected to start on 09/23/2026 and end on 05/03/2027. Please note that all substitute teachers are hired as per diem subs, even when placed in long-term assignments. All substitutes begin at the per diem rate of pay. For further information about becoming a BPS sub, please refer to our website (https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/old-homepage2/careers1/sub-central)." - "Boston Public Schools seeks an exceptional Special Education [English] Inclusion teacher who is highly qualified and knowledgeable to join our community of teachers, learners, and leaders. 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 school" - Responsibilities list: bullet points after "Responsibilities". Let's extract: "Implement district learning goals and objectives, in alignment with state frameworks, having familiarity in identifying access points for student portfolio development." "Provide small-group instruction to students diagnosed with from moderate to severe cognitive delays to ensure understanding and progress in the general curriculum." "Write and implement goals and objectives consistent with student Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) and provide timely and regular progress reports on student development." "Provide needed accommodations for student learning and testing when required." "If needed, develop and implement curriculum, and collect and analyze student work in preparation for MCAS Alternative Assessment to assure progress and development." "Collaborate as a team member within the school building in supporting other staff members to respond to student needs for modification." "Provide assistance to transition to adult living services as appropriate." - Core Competencies: list of categories with bullet points. Might be considered Skills? Could be "Skills" section. - Qualifications: Required Education Level bullet list. - Qualifications - Preferred: bullet list. - Terms: BTU, Group I - Salary info: "Please refer to the BPS website for more information on salary and compensation. Salaries are listed by Unions and Grade/Step." - 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." - Also mention start/end dates of position: 09/23/2026 to 05/03/2027. We need to decide sections. We have "About the role": could include description of position, long-term sub, start/end dates, reports to, mission statement. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe required qualifications? Could be "Qualifications" for required. Skills: core competencies. Benefits: not mentioned explicitly; maybe not include. Pay: mention per diem rate of pay, but not specific amount. The rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "All substitutes begin at the per diem rate of pay." That's a statement about pay but not specific amount. Is that enough? It says "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. 'commensurate with experience', 'not specified', 'N/A', 'varies', 'TBD')". Here it's "per diem rate of pay" which is not a specific number but is a statement. Might be considered substantive? It says they begin at the per diem rate of pay. That's a detail about pay structure. I'd include Pay section with that sentence. Schedule: we have start/end dates of position and mention of school hours varying. Could include Schedule section with that info. Benefits: not mentioned; skip. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like EEO, accommodation, etc. Remove those lines. Also remove duplicated lines: there may be duplicate "Qualifications - Required Education Level:" and "Qualifications - Preferred". We'll combine. We must preserve all substantive information. Let's craft sections:
