A circus arts teacher already meets 51% of what the drama teacher role asks for. The move turns on 13 required skills not yet in the profile.
51%
60.9/ 100
1 Share of the drama teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the circus arts teacher profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.
Why this move works
A drama teacher role treats 17 of its required skills as things a circus arts teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assist students in their learning
- bring out performers’ artistic potential
- consult students on learning content
What stands in the way is 13 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A drama teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a circus arts teacher background worth leading with.
- already held deal with public assisting and caring
- already held bring out performers’ artistic potential management skills
- already held develop the physical language communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held organise rehearsals management skills
- already held maintain safe working conditions in performing arts information skills
- already held movement techniques health and welfare
All 28 carried skills, including the 17 the drama teacher role treats as required.

How this record was compiled
Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
