Teaching Assistant (West Hills)

We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate. We need to parse the posting. First paragraph: description of Gersh Autism, mission. That's about the organization, could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe includes description of role? The posting includes description of organization and role. We can put that under

About the role

with paragraphs. Then "Duties And Responsibilities" list: many bullet points. We'll put under

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. Then "Qualifications" section: includes Associate’s degree preferred, Prior experience as a Teaching Assistant is required, Teaching Assistant Skills Test (ATAS) (or ability to take the TA exam), Experience working with children on the Autism Spectrum preferred, Experience administering an EPI pen or seizure meds a plus!. Also maybe "Physical Requirements" etc. Could be separate? The instruction says use headings for sections like Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Qualifications content. Skills maybe not explicit; we could combine qualifications and skills? But we should only create sections if there is real specific content. There's no explicit "Skills" list separate from qualifications. Could put skills under Qualifications? But we have a heading for Skills; if we don't have specific skills content, we should not create it. So we omit Skills. Benefits: there is a paragraph: "Benefits for fulltime employees Gersh Autism offers a competitive compensation package, including comprehensive health and retirement benefits, professional development opportunities, and a supportive work environment committed to your personal and professional growth. Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)Retirement Plan (401k, IRA)Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity)Short-Term & Long-Term DisabilityTraining & Development". That's benefits. So we create

  Benefits

  with
  • each benefit. Pay: "The Pay Range For This Role Is 23 - 23 USD per hour(West Hills Academy)". That's a specific pay: $23 per hour. So we create

    Pay

    with

    $23 per hour

    . Schedule: "Location: Huntington, NYHours: Monday – Friday, 8:00AM-3:30PM (and once a week until 4PM for a team meeting)Occasional before- and after-school work hours at the discretion of the administrative staff." That's schedule info. Also location maybe not schedule but we can include location in schedule section or maybe separate? There's no explicit heading for location; we could include location in schedule section as part of schedule. Or we could create a separate section? Not in allowed headings. So we put schedule info under

    Schedule

    with

    Location: Huntington, NY. Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00AM-3:30PM (and once a week until 4PM for a team meeting). Occasional before- and after-school work hours at the discretion of the administrative staff.

    . We also have "Working conditions" location and hours etc. Already captured. We also have "Physical Requirements" which is not a heading we have; maybe we could put under Responsibilities or Qualifications? It's a requirement. Could be part of Qualifications? But we already have Qualifications heading; we could add physical requirements as a list item under Qualifications? However Qualifications heading is for qualifications like degree, experience, etc. Physical requirements could be considered a qualification? Might be better to put under Responsibilities? But it's not a duty. The instruction says use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. There's also "Requirements" heading. We haven't used Requirements yet. We could put physical requirements under Requirements. Also maybe other requirements like ability to lift child, implement CP, etc. So we should create a Requirements section. Thus we have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. Ensure we preserve all substantive info. Now we need to extract all duties from "Duties And Responsibilities". Let's list them: - Support the teacher in utilizing appropriate methodologies such as Applied Behavior Analysis, Collaborative Problem Solving, or other effective strategies that prioritize the student’s needs. - Create a positive, authentic learning environment by displaying student work and projects. - Maintain a consistent and safe classroom environment for students. - Assist the teacher in planning and executing lessons tailored to individual student needs and appropriate group lessons. - Modify materials as needed to ensure effective student learning. - Keep accurate student records, including relevant information in each student's binder and writing annual reports as per guidelines. - Implement and support Individualized Education Programs (IEP) and Behavior Intervention Plans (BIP) for each student. - Administer assessments to track student progress and identify areas of concern. - Collaborate with professionals, including speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, and others to support a team-based approach. - Promote student health, safety, and social interaction with peers. - Participate in required training, team meetings, community activities, and school events. - Communicate regularly with supervisors regarding classroom dynamics and student development. - Complete daily attendance reports and supervise students during bathroom and mealtime activities, including cleaning and assisting with hygiene tasks. - Support the overall classroom environment by ensuring cleanliness, including sweeping floors and cleaning counters, shelves, refrigerators, and microwaves. - Attend all required staff meetings, workshops, and open houses. - Assign staff to students each morning and check daily data collection each afternoon. - Other, as assigned by administration. Now Qualifications: - Associate’s degree preferred - Prior experience as a Teaching Assistant is required - Teaching Assistant Skills Test (ATAS) (or ability to take the TA exam) - Experience working with children on the Autism Spectrum preferred - Experience administering an EPI pen or seizure meds a plus! Physical Requirements (to go under Requirements): - Must be able to keep students safe from themselves and others and, in some cases, may need to implement CP (therapeutic hold) procedures. - Must be able to remove oneself from potentially harmful situations and, in some cases, be able to lift a child. Also maybe "Location: Huntington, NY" etc is schedule. Now Benefits list: - Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) - Retirement Plan (401k, IRA) - Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) - Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) - Short-Term & Long-Term Disability - Training & Development - Competitive compensation package (maybe mention but we can include as part of benefits description). Also "professional development opportunities" and "supportive work environment". Could be separate bullet points. We'll list them as bullet points. Pay: $23 per hour. Schedule: Location: Huntington, NY. Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00AM-3:30PM (and once a week until 4PM for a team meeting). Occasional before- and after-school work hours at the discretion of the administrative staff. Now About the role: we need to include the initial description about Gersh Autism and the role summary. Let's craft a paragraph(s) preserving all info. Original: "For over 30 years, Gersh Autism has empowered students on the autism spectrum to reach their full potential. Serving individuals aged 5-21 across the U.S. and Puerto Rico, our network of K-12 schools provides personalized education tailored to each student’s unique learning style. We offer comprehensive therapeutic services—speech, physical, occupational therapy, and more—along with vocational training for older students. Our dedicated team collaborates with families to ensure academic, social, and emotional growth, preparing students for success beyond the classroom. At Gersh Autism, we are committed to helping individuals on the autism spectrum lead fulfilling, independent lives. Please note, this is a year-round school program. The Teacher Assistant will be responsible for supporting the teacher who is teaching students who may demonstrate academic, behavioral, and/or social deficits. Teaching all academic subjects and life skills, modifying when necessary to meet the individual needs of students." We'll put that as

    About the role

    with maybe two paragraphs: first about organization, second about role. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none. Now output HTML fragment only. Let's construct:
