Temporary PREK Teacher (ESL Preferred)
for each heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Remove boilerplate etc. Preserve all substantive info. Include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it—no filler. So we need to parse the posting.
The posting includes:
- CLASS TITLE: Teacher (duplicate)
- CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLASS: description (supervision, instruction, progress, discipline, related duties). This could be "About the role" or "Responsibilities"? Probably "About the role" section.
- ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS: list of duties (instructional planning, implementing methods, etc.) This is responsibilities.
- Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience. (text) -> could be Requirements or Qualifications.
- License Requirements: (text) -> also qualifications.
- Knowledge, Abilities, and Skill. (list) -> could be Skills.
- Physical Requirements: (text) -> maybe part of Requirements? Could be separate but we have no heading for Physical Requirements; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings only from given list; we can't add new headings. So we need to map content to those headings.
- Benefits: (detailed list) -> Benefits section.
- Posting Date, Primary Location, Salary Range: these are metadata; we can put in a short
maybe under a generic paragraph? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include Posting Date, Primary Location, Salary Range in a paragraph (maybe under a heading? Not needed). Probably just a
at top.
- There's also "CLASS TITLE: Teacher CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLASS:" repeated twice (duplicate). We need to preserve substantive info but not duplicate lines. So we should deduplicate.
- There's also "Reference the Chicago Public Schools: A Comprehensive Benefits Overview or the benefits handbook for comprehensive details." That's part of benefits boilerplate? Might be considered boilerplate but it's referencing benefits details; we can keep as part of benefits description.
- There's also "Posting Date Sep 26, 2026, 11:33:15 AM Primary Location North/Northwest Side-2110 West Greenleaf Avenue (George Armstrong Intl Studies) Salary Range $64,469.94 to $82,839.39". That's substantive (posting date, location, salary). We need to include salary range under Pay section if we have actual numbers. The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states Salary Range, so we should create a Pay section with that info. Also we have Benefits section already. Schedule not mentioned, so no Schedule section.
Thus sections we will have:
- About the role (from CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLASS)
- Responsibilities (from ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS)
- Requirements (maybe combine Minimum Qualifications: Education and Experience and License Requirements)
- Qualifications (maybe Knowledge, Abilities, and Skill? Actually that is more skills. But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings; we need to decide mapping. Could treat Requirements as education/experience/license, Qualifications as knowledge/abilities/skill. Or we could combine. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So maybe we combine into fewer sections. But we have headings list; we can choose to include only those with real content. We could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (covering education, experience, license, knowledge, abilities, skill), Benefits, Pay. That's 5 sections. That seems reasonable.
We need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should list each duty as
- . For requirements we could list bullet points: Education and Experience, License Requirements, Knowledge, Abilities, and Skill (maybe sub-bullets). For benefits we list bullet points.
We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the exact phrasing? Probably we can keep the substance but can rephrase slightly as long as we keep detail. Safer to copy the sentences.
Let's extract content.
About the role (CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CLASS):
"Under the supervision of the school principal, responsible for the instruction, progress, and discipline of all pupils in assigned classes, and performs related duties as required."
That's it.
Responsibilities (ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS): It's a long sentence with many clauses separated by semicolons. We need to break into list items. The text:
"Responsible for instructional planning, including, but not limited to, providing written lesson plans and preparation in accordance with the objectives of the instructional program, establishing positive learning expectation standards for all pupils, and evaluating pupils' progress and maintaining current and accurate records of pupils' achievements; implements instructional methods, including, but not limited to, applying contemporary principles of learning theory and teaching methodology, drawing from the range of instructional materials available in the school, participating in the development and implementation of new teaching techniques, and providing bulletin board and interest areas reflective of pupils' current work; exhibits and applies knowledge of the curriculum content related to subject areas and instructional level; participates in programs to improve student attendance; promotes anti-vandalism programs in the schools; establishes and maintains reasonable rules of conduct within the classroom and on school grounds, including, but not limited to, playgrounds, corridors, and lunchrooms, consistent with the provisions of the Chicago Public Schools' Uniform Discipline Code; maintains accurate attendance records and seating charts; encourages student growth in self-discipline and positive self-concept; ensures fairness in teacher-pupil relationships and exhibits an understanding and respect for students; initiates appropriate conferences with parents, guardians, administrators, and/or ancillary personnel, in accordance with school procedures; communicates with parents or guardians and counsels pupils on the pupil's academic progress, attendance, and conduct; participates in in-service meetings and professional staff meetings and uses pertinent information and materials provided; may coordinate and attend class field trips; may work in extra-curricular and after-school activities; utilizes appropriate resources available in the community."
We need to split each major clause after semicolons into separate
- . Also the initial "Responsible for instructional planning, including, but not limited to, ..." includes a list inside; we could keep as one item with sub-detail. That's okay.
We'll produce
with each - containing the clause.
Requirements: combine Education and Experience, License Requirements, Knowledge, Abilities, and Skill.
Education and Experience: "Successful completion of all student teaching requirements as well as all course work required to obtain the appropriate teaching certificate(s) issued by the Illinois State Board of Education."
License Requirements: "Teachers must possess at least one of the following valid teaching licenses issued by the Illinois State Board of Education: Professional Educator License (PEL) or Educator License with Stipulations (ELS), properly endorsed for this position."
Knowledge, Abilities, and Skill: This paragraph includes multiple sentences:
"Knowledge of subject matter consistent with state certification requirements, knowledge of contemporary principles and practices of teaching, knowledge of classroom and behavior management techniques. Ability to modify instruction to meet student needs, ability to cooperate with the school faculty and administration in the development and implementation of an articulated program of instruction, ability to work effectively with pupils, parents and guardians, staff members, and community representatives in providing an appropriate educational program; ability to understand the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional patterns of pupils. Skill in the application of contemporary principles and practices of teaching, good oral and written communication skills, good interpersonal skills, skill in exercising sound and professional judgment."
We could break into bullet points: Knowledge items, Ability items, Skill items. But we can keep as one paragraph? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. This is a list of requirements, so better to make list.
We'll create
with - for each distinct bullet: maybe group knowledge, abilities, skill as separate items? But we could also split each comma-separated item. However that may be too thin. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could keep three items: Knowledge, Abilities, Skill. Each containing the sublist as text.
Thus:
- Knowledge: subject matter consistent with state certification requirements; contemporary principles and practices of teaching; classroom and behavior management techniques.
- Ability: modify instruction to meet student needs; cooperate with school faculty and administration in development and implementation of articulated program of instruction; work effectively with pupils, parents and guardians, staff members, and community representatives in providing appropriate educational program; understand the physical, intellectual, social, and emotional patterns of pupils.
- Skill: application of contemporary principles and practices of teaching; good oral and written communication skills; good interpersonal skills; exercising sound and professional judgment.
That seems good.
Physical Requirements: we haven't placed anywhere. Could be part of Requirements as another bullet? But we have no heading for Physical Requirements. We could add a - under Requirements for Physical Requirements. That would be a requirement. So we add:
- Physical Requirements: Light Work: exerting up to twenty (20) pounds of force occasionally, or up to ten (10) pounds of force frequently, or a negligible amount of force constantly to move objects. Physical demands include ability to stoop occasionally, reach frequently, handle and finger objects occasionally, talk and hear constantly, frequent use of near visual acuity, and occasional use of far visual acuity.
Note there is a typo "offer visual acuity" in original; we should preserve as is? It says "occasional use offer visual acuity." Probably a mistake but we must preserve substantive info; we can keep as is. We'll copy exactly: "occasional use offer visual acuity." Might be weird but okay.
Now Benefits: The benefits section includes multiple bullet-like paragraphs. We'll create with each benefit category as - . The 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 Reference the Chicago Public Schools: A Comprehensive Benefits Overview or the benefits handbook for comprehensive details."
We need to split into logical items: Health & Wellness, Financial Security, Work-Life Balance. Each contains sub-items. We'll make
- for each category, with the subdetails as text inside.
Thus:
- Health & Wellness: Your Care, Your Choice – CPS is committed to providing comprehensive health coverage to employees and eligible dependents. Access to a variety of choices: Medical Plan Options, Pharmacy, Dental, Vision, Behavioral Health & EAP, Employee Wellness Program.
- Financial Security: Planning for today and tomorrow – 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),
