Teacher I, Early Head Start
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put minor metadata into short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to extract content: The posting includes:
- Intro: "Want to make a difference in a child’s life? Our agency provides employees with a positive work environment and the ability to balance work & home along with excellent benefits. Our benefit package includes: medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 12 paid holiday's and a fully vested retirement plan with an up to 5% match. Position is full time with full benefits and starts out between $20.00 - $22.50 per hour. Position works in the Santa Maria at the Little Village Early Head Start Center."
- Then description of duties: "Teachers work in partnership with the team teacher to develop weekly lesson plans for preschool children, develops and maintains a safe and positive classroom climate, and an intentional learning environment; screens and assesses each child using appropriate screening/assessment tools; individualizes the educational plans for each child based on ongoing developmental assessments. Engages parents of various cultural backgrounds in their Childs education. Acts as the “second in command” of site operations when Site Supervisor is off site, as assigned. Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Other duties may be assigned. When in the teacher/child ratio, maintains 100% supervision of all children, by sight and sound at all times.Plans high quality, developmentally appropriate learning experiences with the team teacher.

Provide verification of State required vaccines upon hire for: Influenza (from August 1 to December 1), Pertussis, and Measles. Acceptable verifications include immunization record and physician statement. Exceptions to vaccinations: Flu can be waived by completing annual waiver."
- Then "CommUnify, EOE" (EEO boilerplate, we should drop).
We need to decide sections: Could have About the role (intro), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (knowledge/skill/abilities, certificates, other qualifications), Benefits (benefit package), Pay (hourly range), maybe Schedule (full time). The posting says "Position is full time with full benefits". That's schedule info: full time. So we can include Schedule section with "Full-time". Also Pay section with "$20.00 - $22.50 per hour". Benefits section with list: medical, dental, vision, life insurance including sick, vacation, and personal leave with 12 paid holidays and a fully vested retirement plan with an up to 5% match.
We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. Not present.
We need to use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all duties as list items? The duties are many sentences; we could break them into list items. The instruction: "Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits". So we should put duties in a
- . Similarly requirements (knowledge, skill, ability, certificates, other qualifications) as list. Benefits as list.
We need to avoid duplication: The intro includes some benefit description; we already have benefits list.
We need to drop duplicated lines: The phrase "Essential Duties and Responsibilities: Other duties may be assigned." appears; we can incorporate but not duplicate.
We need to drop EEO line.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.

- .

That seems comprehensive.
Now Requirements/Knowledge/Skill & Ability etc. We'll make a section maybe "Qualifications" or "Requirements". The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can combine knowledge, skill, ability, certificates, other qualifications into a Requirements section. Could also split into Skills and Qualifications but better to keep few sections.
