Teaching Assistant - ACCEPT at Medway High School

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. Must not repeat job title as heading. Must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; fold minor metadata into short

or drop it. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Organization description: ACCEPT Education Collaborative is a regional non-profit educational organization with locations in Medway and Natick, MA. ACCEPT provides a wide range of programs and services including special education for students with moderate to severe needs, specialized transportation, home-based services, behavioral and educational consultation, and professional development.

Our programs address autism spectrum disorders, emotional/behavioral needs, global impairments, cognitive/intellectual disabilities, language disorders, ADHD/ADD, and nonverbal learning disability. - Job: seeking dynamic and compassionate teaching assistants to work in our Middle and High School Programs in Medway. We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages, a collaborative work environment and professional training and support. Whether you want a career in education or simply are looking for a chance to work with some amazing people and make a difference in the lives of some amazing kids - this job is for you! Pay starting at $23.34 hour! - Qualifications Required list: 1 – 3 years of experience working with children and/or young adults; Associate Degree or equivalent experience; Safety Care certified or able and willing to get certified; Team player and dependable; Ability to follow direction well but work well without supervision when necessary; Excellent communication skills, verbal and written; Ability to work well and remain calm under pressure; Ability to multitask; Ability to maintain confidentiality; Experience, ability and desire to work with students with special needs; Compassion and patience. - Qualifications Desired: Bachelor’s Degree in Education or a related field; Experience working in special education. - Essential Functions And Responsibilities: list many bullet points. - Things To Do Daily: list many bullet points. - Nonessential Functions: Other duties as assigned; Occasional travel and transfer between ACCEPT programs to fulfill TA responsibilities at any of ACCEPT’s locations or programs. - Success Factors/Job Competencies: list. - Physical Demands And Work Environment: description. - Position Type: Full-time - Salary: $23 to $32 Per Hour (note earlier Pay starting at $23.34 hour; but later Salary: $23 to $32 Per Hour). We need to include Pay section only if posting actually states them. It does state Pay starting at $23.34 hour and Salary $23 to $32 Per Hour. So we can include Pay section with that info. - Schedule: Not explicitly given; maybe implied full-time but no schedule details. We should not create Schedule section unless posting actually states them. It does not give schedule like hours per day. So omit Schedule. - Benefits: posting mentions "competitive compensation and benefits packages" but no specifics. It says "We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages". That's vague; not specific benefits. According to rule: 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 the posting actually states them. "competitive compensation and benefits packages" is vague but still states benefits exist but not specifics. Might be considered filler? The rule says never create Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state benefits packages exist but not details. Is that enough? It says "competitive compensation and benefits packages". That is a statement about benefits but not specific. Might be considered too vague; but the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state benefits packages exist, albeit not detailed. I'd lean to include Benefits section with that statement? However they also say "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be better to omit Benefits because it's not specific. But the rule says "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state them (benefits packages). So we could include a Benefits section with that statement. However they also say "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". "competitive compensation and benefits packages" is not exactly filler like those examples, but it's vague. I'd include Benefits with that statement. - About the role: we could have a section About the role summarizing the role description (the paragraph about seeking teaching assistants). That seems appropriate. - Responsibilities: we have Essential Functions And Responsibilities and Things To Do Daily. Could combine into Responsibilities. - Requirements: maybe Qualifications Required. - Qualifications: maybe Qualifications Desired? But we already have Qualifications Required; maybe we split into Requirements (required) and Qualifications (desired). Or we could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (desired). The instruction list includes both Requirements and Qualifications as possible headings. So we can use Requirements for required qualifications, Qualifications for desired. - Skills: maybe we can extract skills from required list: communication, teamwork, etc. But we might not need a separate Skills section if we already have Requirements and Qualifications. However we could include Skills if there is explicit skills list. The posting includes "Excellent communication skills, verbal and written", "Ability to work well and remain calm under pressure", "Ability to multitask", etc. Those are skills. Could put them under Skills. But we already have Requirements covering many of those. To avoid duplication, we could put skills under Requirements. The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But they gave separate headings. We could have Requirements (required) and Qualifications (desired). That's two sections. Skills maybe not needed. - Benefits: we have statement. - Pay: we have salary range. - Schedule: omitted. Now we need to output HTML fragment with

headings and

• for lists,

  for prose. We must not repeat job title as heading. Not include Job ID etc. We can include minor metadata like location maybe in a short

  . The location is given: Medway, Massachusetts. Could include in About the role paragraph. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep all details from the posting, but we can rephrase? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. That suggests we should not omit details, but we can reformat. However we must not copy boilerplate. We need to keep all substantive content: organization description, role description, pay, benefits statement, qualifications required, qualifications desired, responsibilities (essential functions, things to do daily), nonessential functions, success factors, physical demands, position type full-time, etc. We must not include EEO statements etc. We need to ensure we don't miss any bullet points. Let's extract lists: Qualifications Required (list): - 1 – 3 years of experience working with children and/or young adults - Associate Degree or equivalent experience - Safety Care certified or able and willing to get certified - Team player and dependable - Ability to follow direction well but work well without supervision when necessary - Excellent communication skills, verbal and written - Ability to work well and remain calm under pressure - Ability to multitask - Ability to maintain confidentiality - Experience, ability and desire to work with students with special needs - Compassion and patience Qualifications Desired: - Bachelor’s Degree in Education or a related field - Experience working in special education Essential Functions And Responsibilities (list): - Work under the direction of Special Education teacher and Behavior Specialist - Assist with classroom instruction and provide support and guidance to students - Maintain a safe, clean and supportive classroom environment - Work closely with the lead teacher to design and implement a classroom system to track student progress, and take necessary steps to ensure academic progress - Provide assistance to students during non-classroom time and arrange recreational activities - Attend required meetings and training sessions Things To Do Daily (list): - Arrive and be prepared before students arrive and stay until all students are picked up, as directed by the classroom teacher - Check in with the teacher and behavior specialist in your classroom every day - Help teacher/behavior specialist ensure that student clipboards/data sheets are all set for the day - Help ensure that the classroom space is clean, organized, and professional - Keep a walkie talkie with you at all times (tuned to channel 7) - Collect daily data (behavior and academic) - Implement individual student behavior support plans - Implement all student specific reinforcement schedules - Help support teacher during whole group lessons - Help run small group lessons as needed - Implement individual student academic programming if applicable - Follow schedule created by classroom teacher - Help create a professional, positive and supportive classroom environment - Check in with teacher and behavior specialist to communicate any issues that came up during the day - Inform teacher and behavior specialist of any issues to be followed up on - Help complete incident reports and restraint reports (communicate relevant data to teacher and/or behavior specialist who is completing paperwork) - Read email and reply within 24 hours - Follow-up with phone messages within 24 hours - Ensure classroom is cleaned and ready for the next day Nonessential Functions: - Other duties as assigned - Occasional travel and transfer between ACCEPT programs to fulfill TA responsibilities at any of ACCEPT’s locations or programs Success Factors/Job Competencies (list): - Ability and great desire to work with children with special needs - Ability to take direction well - Great attention to detail and accuracy - Excellent interpersonal and communication skills - Positive and proactive attitude - Ability to maintain confidentiality and ethical conduct - Commitment to company values and mission - Strong team player Physical Demands And Work Environment (paragraph). We need to keep the description but not as list? It's prose. We'll put in

  . Position Type: Full-time (we can include in a

  maybe under About the role or separate). Salary: $23 to $32 Per Hour. Also earlier Pay starting at $23.34 hour. We'll combine: Pay: starting at $23.34 per hour, with range $23-$32 per hour. Now we need to decide sections: - About the role: include organization description and role summary (the paragraph about seeking teaching assistants, competitive compensation, etc.) plus location maybe. - Responsibilities: combine Essential Functions And Responsibilities and Things To Do Daily (maybe as one list). Could split into two subheadings but we only have h3 headings. Could make one Responsibilities section with two sublists? But we need to use

  • for any list. Could have two
    under same heading. - Requirements: Qualifications Required list. - Qualifications: Qualifications Desired list. - Skills: maybe not needed; we could omit. - Benefits: statement about competitive compensation and benefits packages. - Pay: salary info. We must not create sections with filler. Benefits statement is not filler but vague; still we include. Now we need to ensure we don't duplicate info. For example, the organization description appears twice in the posting (once at top, later repeated). We should include only once. Also the "Welcome to ACCEPT Education Collaborative- High School" repeats the organization description; we should not duplicate. Now craft HTML. We'll start with

    About the role

    then

    containing organization description and role
