Teaching Assistant, Precollege program Painting from Poetry
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, no invented summary. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Special Instructions to Applicants" (application instructions). Also remove copyright line. We need to parse the job description. Content: Position Overview: description of program. Responsibilities: "Essential Duties Summary" paragraph. Required Qualifications Skills Required: list of knowledge etc. Qualifications: "This position is open to graduates who majored or studied a concentration in visual arts." Preferred Qualifications: none? Actually "Preferred Qualifications" heading but no content after? There's "Posting Number: S00474P Open Date Close Date: Open Until Filled: No Salary: $30/hour". That's metadata: posting number, dates, salary. Salary is specific: $30/hour. So we need a Pay section with that. Schedule: The description includes schedule: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday participants attend intensive painting workshops 9am-12pm. Students have one 3-hour poetry workshop each Wednesday 9am-12pm. TAs attend last hour of these workshops (11am-12pm), then provide supervision and mentorship each weekday afternoon as students work on portfolio pieces. So schedule info: TAs work weekdays, with morning workshop attendance 11am-12pm plus afternoon supervision. Could be summarized but we must not invent or summarize away detail? We can keep the details as prose. The schedule section should contain the schedule specifics. It's real specific content. Benefits: Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits section. Skills: There's "Skills Required:" list: knowledge of painting and drawing basics, ability to speak about art, ability to critique productively and rigorously, always keeping the growth of students in mind. Also punctual, responsible, strong communication skills. Experience working with young people is preferred but not required. That could go under Skills or Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for Skills, Requirements, Qualifications etc. We need to decide where to put each piece. We have "Required Qualifications Skills Required:" which seems like a combined heading. We could split: Requirements (maybe essential duties) and Skills (list). But we have also a separate "Qualifications" paragraph about graduates majored in visual arts. That's qualifications. We also have "Preferred Qualifications" heading but no content; we should not create a section if no real specific content. Thus sections we can include: - About the role (from Position Overview) - Responsibilities (Essential Duties Summary) - Skills (list of skills) - Qualifications (graduates majored in visual arts) - Pay (Salary: $30/hour) - Schedule (description of TA schedule) We should not include Requirements if we already covered via Skills? But we have a "Required Qualifications Skills Required:" which includes both qualifications and skills. However we already have Qualifications separate. To avoid duplication, we could treat the list as Skills, and the qualification about graduates as Qualifications. The "Required Qualifications Skills Required:" also includes "Experience working with young people is preferred but not required." That could be under Skills or Qualifications? It's a preference, could be under Qualifications as preferred but not required. But we already have Qualifications section for graduates majored in visual arts. We could add that experience note there as well. We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the exact phrases. Let's extract exact text: Position Overview paragraph: "Position Overview The position of Teaching Assistant (TA) for Painting From Poetry is now open. Painting From Poetry is a 3-week precollege program for teens who are passionate about art and painting and serious about honing their craft. This is a new program at the College for creative young people looking for an intensive experience with drawing and painting. The course has an interdisciplinary approach, with an integration of poetry, drawing, and painting. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, participants attend intensive painting workshops with a faculty member (9:00am-12:00pm). Students have one 3-hour poetry workshop each Wednesday 9:00am-12:00pm and use their poetry as inspiration for their painting. The teaching assistants attend the last hour of these workshops (11:00am – 12:00pm), in order to provide continuity and then [provide supervision and mentorship for the precollege students each weekday afternoon as the students work on their portfolio pieces. The program culminates in an exhibition in which the students showcase their works for their classmates, families and friends." Note there is a typo: "[provide". We'll keep as is. Responsibilities: "Essential Duties Summary A TA is a crucial bridge between the professor and the high school students. They are responsible for helping guide students in their assignments which the professor introduces and helps students start. The TA is responsible for helping bring work to completion. The TA also aids students in meeting deadlines. The goal of the program is to learn techniques of paintings, to be able to communicate through the language of art, and to develop work towards the portfolio. The TA should help students achieve those goals. The TA must be able to communicate clearly and punctually with the instructor (when the instructor is in the classroom but also when the instructor has left for the day). The TA will have the opportunity to instruct 90 hours during the summer of 2027. There will be a number of preparatory zoom meetings that the TA is expected to attend. TA should set the bar high, be really present and thoughtful during their workday and pass on passion and positive attitude about making art. The TA will be closely paying attention to the teaching methodology and philosophy of the professor." Skills Required list: "Skills Required: Requirements of this position are knowledge of painting and drawing basics, ability to speak about art, ability to critique productively and rigorously, always keeping the growth of students in mind. The TA has to be punctual, responsible and have strong communication skills. Experience working with young people is preferred but not required." Qualifications: "Qualifications This position is open to graduates who majored or studied a concentration in visual arts." Preferred Qualifications: none. Posting metadata: "Posting Number: S00474P Open Date Close Date: Open Until Filled: No Salary: $30/hour" We need Pay section: "$30/hour". Could also mention Open Until Filled: No but that's not pay; maybe we could include in a short paragraph but not as heading. The instruction: do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we could include a short
for posting number and dates maybe, but better to drop minor metadata. However we need to preserve ALL substantive information. Is posting number substantive? Probably minor metadata; we could drop it but instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; minor metadata like posting number may be considered not substantive? It says "do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can either include a short p or drop. I'd include a short p with that info. Schedule: We have schedule details in the Position Overview already; but we could extract schedule specifics into a Schedule section. However the Position Overview already includes schedule details; we could keep them in About the role. But we need a Schedule section only if posting has real specific content for it. The schedule details are present; we could create a Schedule section with those details. However we must not duplicate content. If we put schedule details in both About the role and Schedule, that's duplication. Better to keep schedule details in Schedule section and maybe shorten About the role to not include schedule? But About the role currently includes schedule details are part of overview; we could keep them there and not create separate Schedule. However the instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we keep schedule details within About the role and not create a separate Schedule section. But we need to decide if schedule is substantive enough to warrant its own section. The schedule details are specific; but we already have them in overview. Could we move them to Schedule and keep overview more general? That would split the overview content. Might be okay but we risk losing some overview details if we remove them. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep them in either place, as long as not duplicated. So we could put schedule details in Schedule section and keep About the role more general (program description). Let's try. Thus: About the role: description of program (excluding schedule specifics). We'll need to rewrite to exclude schedule sentences but keep rest. However we must not invent or summarize away detail; we can just omit schedule sentences? That would be removing detail, which is not allowed. We must preserve ALL substantive information. So we cannot omit schedule details. Therefore we must keep schedule details somewhere. If we put them in Schedule section, we must also keep them in About the role? That would duplicate. Duplication is not allowed? The instruction says remove duplicated lines. So we cannot duplicate. So we need to decide where to place schedule details without duplication. We could incorporate schedule details into About the role and not have a separate Schedule section. That satisfies preserving all info, no duplication. Then we don't need a Schedule section. But we need to check if we need a Schedule section per instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". Since we have schedule content, we could make a Schedule section, but then we would need to remove schedule content from About the role to avoid duplication. That would be removing detail from About the role, which is not allowed. So we cannot create a Schedule section unless we can keep schedule content there and also keep About the role without losing any detail. That seems impossible unless we rewrite About the role to be more general but still include all details (maybe we can keep schedule details in About the role and also include them in Schedule? That's duplication). So better to not create Schedule section and keep schedule details in About the role. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Skills, Qualifications, Pay. We also need to include maybe a short paragraph for posting metadata (Posting Number, Open Date Close Date, Open Until Filled). That's minor metadata; we can fold into a short p at the end or beginning. The instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can add a
with that metadata. Now we need to format:
