Title I Paraprofessional - Willow Creek

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

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to extract content. The posting includes: POSITION, CATEGORY, DEPARTMENT, LOCATION, REPORTS TO, SUMMARY, Essential Duties And Responsibilities (list), SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: None, QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (Education And/Or Experience, Knowledge, Skills & Abilities, COMMUNICATION SKILLS, Problem Solving Skills, PRODUCTIVITY/EFFICIENCY SKILLS, Mathematical Skills, Reasoning Ability, Other Skills And Abilities), PHYSICAL DEMANDS, WORK ENVIRONMENT, TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT (176 day calendar assignment, etc). Also includes boilerplate about EEO etc which we must remove. We need to decide which sections to include: About the role (maybe from SUMMARY). Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities). Requirements (maybe Education And/Or Experience). Qualifications (maybe Knowledge, Skills & Abilities etc). Skills (maybe combine communication, problem solving, productivity, mathematical, reasoning, other). Benefits, Pay, Schedule: we have TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT: 176 day calendar assignment. That's schedule info. No explicit pay or benefits. So we should include Schedule section with that info. No Benefits or Pay. We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections with real content. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not omit details. So we need to include all duties, qualifications, etc. We need to format as HTML: headings

, then content: either

for prose,

• for lists. We need to decide grouping. Let's extract sections: - About the role: from SUMMARY: "To work under the direction of the classroom teacher, principal, or federal programs director in achieving the educational goals and objectives of all qualifying students through individual, small group, or whole group instruction." We could also include POSITION, CATEGORY, DEPARTMENT, LOCATION, REPORTS TO as metadata maybe in a short

  . The instruction says: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with those details. Thus after heading maybe we don't need About the role heading? Actually we need to use headings for sections. The summary is about the role. So we can have

  About the role

  then

  ...

  . Also we could include the POSITION etc in same paragraph or separate. But we must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Title I Para Professional". We should not put that as heading. So we can include it in the paragraph. Thus About the role paragraph: include summary plus maybe position/category/department/location/reports to. Now Responsibilities: list of duties. Many sentences. We need to convert to
  • . Each duty separated by line breaks? The original list is a long paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? Actually it's a paragraph with many duties separated by line breaks? It appears as a block of sentences separated by line breaks? The text: "Essential Duties And Responsibilities Prepare and organize materials for small group and individual instructionMaintain high academic standards and expectationsRepeat lessons to Title I students who were absent for that lessonProvide tutorial help to students following lessons prescribed by the teacher and reinforce material and skills using a variety of methods as directed by certified staffProvide immediate feedback on student performanceRespond to students’ questions and requests for assistanceObserve students’ work and study habits Observe and record students’ time on task when neededAssist students in locating prescribed instructional materials and starting their assignmentsAssist the classroom teacher in the delivery of an effective instructional program Work with individual students or small groups of students to reinforce learning of material and skills introduced by the teacher Help students master equipment or instructional materials assigned by teacher Provide individualized instruction activities using materials and sequences selected by the classroom teacherIdentify pupil needs and provide instruction appropriate to those needsFollow modifications and accommodations as specified in Individual Education Plans (IEPs)Assist with such large group activities as drill and practice, reading aloud, and storytelling, and participate in other forms of oral communication with students Guide independent study, enrichment work, and remedial work assigned by the teacher Check notebooks, correct papers, and supervise testing and make‑up work as assigned by the teacher Administer, score, and record such achievement and diagnostic tests as the teacher recommends for individual studentsEncourage students to strive to meet their highest potentialCommunicate classroom rules and encourage students to set and maintain standards of classroom behaviorAssist the teacher in devising special strategies for reinforcing material or skills based on an understanding of individual students, their needs, interests, and abilities Alert the supervising teacher to any problem or special information about an individual studentKeep the supervising teacher informed of activities and any issues that may ariseOperate and care for equipment used in the classroom for instructional purposesDistribute and collect workbooks, papers, and other materials for instructionTake all necessary and reasonable precautions to protect students, equipment, materials, and facilitiesKeep accurate records and maintain individual records for each studentAttend faculty meetings as requiredAssume responsibility for his or her continuing professional growth and development through such efforts as reading professional journals and other publicationsSeek assistance should emergencies ariseRepresent the school district in a positive mannerKnow and follow school district policy and chain of commandPerform other duties as assigned" We need to split into sensible list items. Each duty seems separated by no punctuation but capital letters start new duty. We can split at each capital letter that starts a new sentence? Might be easier to just keep as a single paragraph? But instruction: Use
    • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to make list items. We can approximate by splitting at each verb phrase. Let's try to identify duties: 1. Prepare and organize materials for small group and individual instruction 2. Maintain high academic standards and expectations 3. Repeat lessons to Title I students who were absent for that lesson 4. Provide tutorial help to students following lessons prescribed by the teacher and reinforce material and skills using a variety of methods as directed by certified staff 5. Provide immediate feedback on student performance 6. Respond to students’ questions and requests for assistance 7. Observe students’ work and study habits 8. Observe and record students’ time on task when needed 9. Assist students in locating prescribed instructional materials and starting their assignments 10. Assist the classroom teacher in the delivery of an effective instructional program 11. Work with individual students or small groups of students to reinforce learning of material and skills introduced by the teacher 12. Help students master equipment or instructional materials assigned by teacher 13. Provide individualized instruction activities using materials and sequences selected by the classroom teacher 14. Identify pupil needs and provide instruction appropriate to those needs 15. Follow modifications and accommodations as specified in Individual Education Plans (IEPs) 16. Assist with such large group activities as drill and practice, reading aloud, and storytelling, and participate in other forms of oral communication with students 17. Guide independent study, enrichment work, and remedial work assigned by the teacher 18. Check notebooks, correct papers, and supervise testing and make‑up work as assigned by the teacher 19. Administer, score, and record such achievement and diagnostic tests as the teacher recommends for individual students 20. Encourage students to strive to meet their highest potential 21. Communicate classroom rules and encourage students to set and maintain standards of classroom behavior 22. Assist the teacher in devising special strategies for reinforcing material or skills based on an understanding of individual students, their needs, interests, and abilities 23. Alert the supervising teacher to any problem or special information about an individual student 24. Keep the supervising teacher informed of activities and any issues that may arise 25. Operate and care for equipment used in the classroom for instructional purposes 26. Distribute and collect workbooks, papers, and other materials for instruction 27. Take all necessary and reasonable precautions to protect students, equipment, materials, and facilities 28. Keep accurate records and maintain individual records for each student 29. Attend faculty meetings as required 30. Assume responsibility for his or her continuing professional growth and development through such efforts as reading professional journals and other publications 31. Seek assistance should emergencies arise 32. Represent the school district in a positive manner 33. Know and follow school district policy and chain of command 34. Perform other duties as assigned That seems comprehensive. Now SUPERVISORY RESPONSIBILITIES: None - we can ignore or maybe include as a note? It's not a duty; we could skip. Now QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: Education And/Or Experience: list: - High School Diploma or GED required - Must meet Para Professional requirements - Bachelors Degree or 32 core academic credits from an accredited university (with a passing grade of “C” of better) or - Pass the Para Pro assessment with a score of 460 or higher - Para Professional experience preferred We need to keep as list. Then Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: bullet list: - Demonstrate aptitude for working with adolescents - Works well with students, staff, and the public - Excellent organizational skills - Excellent interpersonal and communication skills - Able to work under pressures and deadlines - Maintain confidentiality of staff and students Then COMMUNICATION SKILLS: list: - Ability to read and interpret documents such as safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions and procedure manuals. - Ability to read, analyze and interpret governmental regulations and legal documents. - Ability to write routine reports and correspondence. - Ability to effectively present information and respond to questions from employees and/or the general public. - Ability to communicate in English and Spanish is preferred. Problem Solving Skills: - Demonstrate sound judgment by taking appropriate actions regarding questionable findings or concerns. PRODUCTIVITY/EFFICIENCY SKILLS: - Consistently demonstrate ability to respond to changing situations in a flexible manner in order to meet current needs, such as reprioritizing work as necessary; organize job functions and work area to be able to effectively complete varied assignments within established time frame. Mathematical Skills: - Ability to conduct basic math functions, as well as manipulate formulas in spreadsheets. Reasoning Ability: - Ability to apply common sense understanding to carry out instructions furnished in written, oral and diagram form. - Ability to define problems collects data, establish facts, and draw valid conclusions. Other Skills And Abilities: - Knowledge of a variety of computer software applications in word processing (Microsoft Office), spreadsheets (Excel), database (Access), presentation software and accounting/financial software. We could group these under Skills section. The instruction says use headings like Skills. So we can combine all skill-related items under a Skills heading. But we also have Qualifications heading for education/experience. Could also have Requirements heading for education/experience? Actually they said headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map: - About the role: summary + meta. - Responsibilities: duties list. - Requirements: maybe education/experience? Or maybe "Requirements" is for mandatory qualifications (education/experience). Qualifications could be for knowledge, skills, abilities. Skills could be for specific skill sets like communication, problem solving, etc. But we have many skill categories. We could put all under Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Requirements (education/experience) and Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities) into one? But they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have: - About the role - Responsibilities - Requirements (education/experience) - Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities, communication, problem solving, productivity, mathematical, reasoning, other skills) - Schedule (1
