We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content present. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have content: description of role, responsibilities, qualifications, benefits. No explicit Pay or Schedule. So we should not include those sections. Also need to include maybe "About the role" as heading with prose summarizing role? The posting includes description: "English Learner Program Teachers (ELPTs) The Office of Language and Cultural Education (OLCE) annually asks principals to nominate an English Learner Program Teacher (ELPT). ...". That's about the role. We'll put that in

under

About the role

. Then responsibilities: list of duties (program coordination, instructional, advisory). We'll create
  • for each bullet. Requirements/Qualifications/Skills: The posting includes "Qualifications" list: Share CPS and OLCE’s Vision and Mission, Hold a Bilingual and/or ESL Endorsement*, Knowledge of standards, Understanding of district policies, Strong organizational and communication skills, Promote high-quality instruction, Advocate equity and respect. Also maybe "Roles and Responsibilities" includes "Qualifications" heading. We'll treat those as Qualifications. Could also separate Skills: maybe organizational and communication skills as skills. But we can put them under Qualifications. The instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits. No Pay or Schedule. We must preserve all substantive information: include details about nomination, FTE, coordination duties percentages, training, etc. Ensure we don't omit any. Let's extract substantive info: - OLCE annually asks principals to nominate an ELPT. - ELPT should be a teacher leader who supports school leadership in administration of EL program, leads PD of teachers regarding ELD and instruction for ELs, engages parents of ELs. - Link to nomination form (but we should remove application instructions? The link is maybe considered navigation? It's a link to form; maybe we should drop it as it's application instruction? The instruction says remove application instructions. The link to nomination form is likely part of application instructions, so we should drop it. - District-managed schools with 20+ ELs receive supplemental positions (0.5-2.0 FTE depending on EL pop). ELPT must be staffed in that position. - At least 50% of ELPT position dedicated to ELPT coordination duties exclusive of teaching duties (in schools with 250+ ELs, 100% dedicated). - ELPT is not sole person responsible for providing EL services for ELs in classes without certified Bilingual/ESL teacher, except in schools with 19 or fewer ELs. - Teachers in schools with 1-19 ELs have option to accept/reject principal’s assignment of ELPT role compensated with ELPT stipend. - If no one accepts, Principal shall assign to qualified administrator, then qualified teacher. - ELPTs participate in quarterly training from OLCE, which include PD sessions/tools around high-quality instruction for ELs. - ELPTs provide these PD opportunities during school day to preK-12 teachers who provide instruction to ELs at their school. - Then list of responsibilities under headings: PROGRAM COORDINATION, INSTRUCTIONAL, ADVISORY. We'll combine into responsibilities. Program coordination bullet points: - Coordinate administration of mandated State-prescribed Screener (e.g., WIDA Screener, WIDA Screener for Kindergarten, Pre-IPT) within 30 days of enrollment at start of school year and 14 days thereafter. - Enter State-prescribed Screener results in Aspen. - Review EL rosters and ACCESS reports to ensure ELs appropriately placed/transitioned. - Coordinate distribution of CPS Parent Notification Letters generated from Aspen along with translated versions on Employee Intranet. - Collaborate with special education staff to ensure ELs with IEPs serviced appropriately and service delivery model numbers entered accurately in SSM. - Update EL profiles in Aspen timely. - Coordinate administration of ACCESS testing within mandated time frame and submit required reports to Student Assessment (e.g., Not Tested Reasons). - Maintain annual documentation of bilingual/ESL staff participation of two State-mandated EL PD sessions. - Coordinate and monitor completion of required documentation for EL Program Reviews. - Assist school administration in submission of all required OLCE forms timely (e.g., EL summer program enrollment, etc.). - Attend required ELPT trainings and disseminate info to administrators, teachers of ELs, and general program staff. - Monitor progress for Transition (T1-T4) students, students with parent refusals, and current ELs to ensure additional supports/interventions can be provided if needed. - Collaborate with testing coordinator regarding District assessments in which ELs participate, particularly around using appropriate EL testing accommodations. Instructional bullet points: - Work with administration to support all teachers of ELs. Supports may include but are not limited to: - Participate on school ILT representing ELs. - Collaborate with classroom teachers, TCT, core departments, etc., regarding curriculum/instructional supports and differentiation. - Assist with developing and creating standards-based (CCSS & WIDA) unit/lesson plans. - Review and collaborate in selection of Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) interventions for ELs. - Support teachers with differentiating EL instruction and assessments. - Collaborate with bilingual/ESL teachers in aligning instruction with CCSS and WIDA ELD. - Share current research and best practices around EL instruction with faculty. Advisory bullet points: - Provide EL placement recommendations to principal. - Support family engagement and parent engagement efforts at school to be fully inclusive of parents/guardians of ELs. The ELPT can support administration with vetting interpretation vendors or updating posted list of interpreters representing home languages in school, but ELPT not required to provide interpretation/translation themselves. - Facilitate establishment and operation of Bilingual Advisory Committee (BAC). - Ensure required EL Program information presented to parents at initial BAC meeting. - Hold BAC position elections and submit to OLCE. - Ensure timely submission of documents (see BAC Advisory Handbook). - Ensure BAC officers approve a spending plan for BAC funds. - Ensure timely reimbursements and expense submissions for BAC funds. - Provide guidance to teachers and principals regarding program implementation. - Collaborate with school administration in all areas related to ELs. Benefits section: list of benefits as given. We need to format Benefits as
    • items. Benefits text includes headings: Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice, Financial Security..., Work-Life Balance... We can treat each as a subsection? But we should not create extra headings beyond allowed list. We can just list all benefits as list items under Benefits heading. However we need to preserve the structure? The instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can flatten. Thus Benefits section:

        Benefits

        • Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice CPS Is Committed To Providing Comprehensive Health Coverage To Our Employees And Their Eligible Dependents. You'll Have Access To a Variety Of Choices To Best Fit Your Needs Medical Plan Options Pharmacy Dental Vision Behavioral Health & EAP Employee Wellness Program
        • ... etc. But that would be huge. Better to split each benefit category as separate list items: e.g., "Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice – Comprehensive health coverage including medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, behavioral health & EAP, employee wellness program." etc. We'll parse. Let's extract benefits bullet points: From text: Benefits Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice CPS Is Committed To Providing Comprehensive Health Coverage To Our Employees And Their Eligible Dependents. You'll Have Access To a Variety Of Choices To Best Fit Your Needs Medical Plan Options Pharmacy Dental Vision Behavioral Health & EAP Employee Wellness Program Financial Security: Planning for Today and Tomorrow We understand the importance of financial stability, which is why CPS offers strong retirement and savings options: Basic Life Insurance Life and Disability Insurance Pension Plans Supplemental Retirement Plans (403(b) and 457(b)) Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) Spot Pet Insurance Work-Life Balance: Supporting Your Personal and Professional Life CPS values the well-being of its employees and offers competitive paid time off policies: Paid Leave Sick Leave Vacation Days Parental Leaves Short-Term Disability Religious Holidays Leaves We can create list items for each bullet: maybe group under headings but not required. We'll just create list items for each distinct benefit. Thus Benefits
          • Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice – Comprehensive health coverage including medical, pharmacy, dental, vision, behavioral health & EAP, employee wellness program.
          • Financial Security: Basic life insurance, life and disability insurance, pension plans, supplemental retirement plans (403(b) and 457(b)), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), spot pet insurance.
          • Work-Life Balance: Competitive paid time off including paid leave, sick leave, vacation days, parental leaves, short-term disability, religious holidays leaves.
          That preserves substance. Now About the role paragraph: combine description up to before responsibilities. Let's craft:

          The Office of Language and Cultural Education (OLCE) annually asks principals to nominate an English Learner Program Teacher (ELPT). The ELPT should be a teacher leader who supports school leadership in the administration of the EL program, leads professional development of teachers regarding English Language Development (ELD) and instruction for English Learners (ELs), and engages parents of ELs to participate in the education of their children. District‑managed schools with 20 or more ELs receive supplemental positions (0.5‑2.0 FTE, depending on the EL student population), and the ELPT must be staffed in that position. At least 50% of the ELPT position must be dedicated to ELPT coordination duties exclusive of teaching duties (in schools with 250+ ELs, 100% of the position is coordination‑only). The ELPT is not the sole person responsible for providing EL services for students in classes without a certified Bilingual and/or ESL teacher, except in schools with 19 or fewer ELs. Teachers in schools with 1‑19 ELs may accept or reject the principal’s assignment of the ELPT role, which is compensated with an ELPT stipend; if no one accepts, the principal assigns the role to a qualified administrator, then to a qualified teacher. ELPTs participate in quarterly OLCE training that includes professional development sessions and tools for high‑quality instruction of ELs, and they deliver these PD opportunities during the school day to preK‑12 teachers who instruct ELs at their school.

          Now Responsibilities: we need to list bullet points under
          • . We'll combine all three categories into one list? Could separate headings but we only allowed headings from list; we could add subheadings but not allowed. Better to just have one responsibilities list with all bullets. That's fine. We'll produce

            Responsibilities

            • ... each bullet.
            We need to ensure we don't lose any bullet. Let's list all bullets: Program Coordination: - Coordinate administration of mandated State-prescribed Screener (e.g., WIDA Screener, WIDA Screener for Kindergarten, Pre-IPT) within 30 days of enrollment at the start of the school year and 14 days of enrollment thereafter. - Enter State-prescribed Screener results in Aspen. - Review EL rosters and ACCESS reports to ensure ELs
