Yerington Intermediate Paraprofessional 09.15.26
for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections where posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove application instructions (none present). Keep substantive info.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
- Title: SPECIAL EDUCATION PARAPROFESSIONAL (but we don't repeat as heading)
- Pay: Two ranges: "$19.27-$27.08 hourly with Employee/Employer retirement, dependent upon previous experience" and "$16.29-$22.87 hourly with Employer-paid retirement, dependent upon previous experience". So we have pay info. Also mention Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month). FLSA Status: NON-EXEMPT. Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month). So we can include Pay section with those details. Schedule: maybe "9 month" indicates school year schedule? Could be schedule: 9 month (academic year). Might include schedule: 9 month (school year). The posting mentions "Terms of Employment: Pay Grade 23 on the Classified Wage Structure (9 month)". So schedule could be 9 month (academic year). We'll include Schedule section with that.
- Benefits: "Employee/Employer retirement" and "Employer-paid retirement". Also maybe mention retirement benefits. Could include Benefits section with retirement info.
- About the role: Position summary paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications, Physical and Mental Requirements, Working Conditions maybe.
- Qualifications: maybe combine with Requirements? But we need separate sections if content exists. Could have Requirements (education, license) and Qualifications (skills, abilities). However the posting includes "Position Expectations" list of abilities, and "Position Requirements" includes education, training, licenses, physical and mental requirements, working conditions. We could map:
- About the role: Position Summary.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties and Responsibilities.
- Requirements: Education and Training, Licenses and Certifications.
- Qualifications: Position Expectations (abilities).
- Benefits: retirement info.
- Pay: pay ranges and grade.
- Schedule: 9 month.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience" etc. We have actual content.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide what constitutes a list. For responsibilities, we have many sentences separated by periods. Could turn each duty into
- . For requirements list: Education and Training (two items), Licenses and Certifications (multiple). For benefits: retirement info (two items). For qualifications: list of abilities.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep the details exactly as given, but we can format as list items.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no
Special Education Paraprofessional
. Good.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: Use About the role
then with the position summary text.
Position summary: "Under the supervision of a licensed teacher, works in a special education assisting teaching staff in a variety of instructional activities to provide specially designed instruction to students with disabilities. Assists teachers in providing individual and group functional living, academic skills, vocational and behavioral management support, as well as personal care attendant services to students with various mental, and/or physical disabilities to successfully implement requirements of students individualized education plan (IEP). Additional intensive training beyond what is necessary for a Special Education-Paraprofessional in the areas of student data collection, communication strategies, severe behaviors, and positive behavior management for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Cognitive Disabilities or Behavioral Disorders will be required. This person reports directly to the school site administrator."
We'll keep that as a paragraph.
Next Responsibilities:
Responsibilities
then with each duty as - . Need to extract each duty from the "Essential Duties And Responsibilities" paragraph. The paragraph is a long sentence with many duties separated by periods. We'll split at periods that end a duty. Let's list them:
1. Assists the student(s) in the program to whom they are assigned in such physical tasks as putting on and taking off outerwear, moving from room to room, using the restroom, provide toileting and/or personal hygiene care (i.e. changing diapers), carrying lunch trays, eating, transportation, etc.
2. Assists the student(s) in curriculum tasks as assigned by a certified teacher, carrying out instructional programs and lessons in various learning environments, in and out of the traditional classroom, as designated in the instructional plan based on the IEP and under the direct supervision of the certified teacher.
3. Under the direct supervision of a certified teacher, works with small groups of students to reinforce material initially introduced by the teacher.
4. Accompanies the student(s) to other locations within the school, if the child's disability warrants this type of support.
5. Establishes as fully as possible a supportive relationship with the student(s) without fostering or encouraging intense emotional involvement.
6. Serves as a resource person, if and when requested, to the student's eligibility and IEP teams when conferring about the student whom the paraprofessional is assigned.
7. Assisting individual students in performing activities initiated by the special education or classroom teacher.
8. Assisting the special education teacher in data collection procedures, observing, recording and charting behavior.
9. Monitoring and reporting student(s) progress to the certified personnel.
10. Assist the student in interacting with the available classroom technology & augmentative devices (SmartBoard, iPad, etc.).
11. Conforms to safety standards as prescribed.
12. Ability to work with students and adults in a variety of settings on and off school campus areas.
13. Ability to commute outside of attendance area as required by certified personnel in order to transport students to programs not available within the student's school of attendance.
14. Ability to take direction from and provide assistance to the Special Education teacher in charge of the special education program.
15. Performs and participates in other related duties as assigned by the building administrator or designee.
Note: Some of these are actually abilities (like ability to work...), but they appear in the responsibilities list. We'll keep them as duties.
Now Requirements: Education and Training: "High school diploma or GED equivalent. Valid driver's license and DMV clearance." That's two items.
Licenses and Certifications: "Must have the ability to complete: Specialized training as needed to meet student needs as outlined in IEP's. Current Crisis Prevention and Restraint Training, First Aid, and CPR Training. Blood borne Pathogen and Universal Precaution Training." Also "Candidates must meet the minimum qualifications as listed on the appropriate position vacancy announcement." That's generic; maybe we can include but it's not specific. We'll include the specific training items.
We could also include Physical and Mental Requirements and Working Conditions under Requirements or Qualifications? The instructions: Use sections for Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have to decide where to put physical/mental requirements and working conditions. Could be under Requirements (since they are requirements). Or under Qualifications (abilities). But we already have a Qualifications section for Position Expectations (abilities). Physical and mental requirements are more like requirements. We'll put them under Requirements as a list.
Working Conditions also could be under Requirements or maybe a separate section but we don't have a heading for Working Conditions; we could include under Requirements as well.
Thus Requirements will have sub-lists? But we just need a single
- for any list. We could combine all requirement items into one list, but that may lose grouping. However instructions: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It doesn't forbid multiple lists; we could have multiple
under same heading. We'll do separate for each category: Education & Training, Licenses & Certifications, Physical & Mental Requirements, Working Conditions.
But we need to keep under Requirements
. Then we can have multiple each preceded maybe by a heading? Not required but we can include
for prose before each list. However we must not invent filler. We can include a short
like "Education and Training:" then list. That's okay as prose.
Similarly for Qualifications: Position Expectations list of abilities.
Benefits: retirement info.
Pay: pay ranges and grade.
Schedule: 9 month.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate: Remove Equal Opportunity Employer paragraph, etc.
Also remove duplicated lines: there is some duplication of pay ranges? There are two ranges given; we keep both.
Now craft HTML.
We'll start:
