1 Share of the special educational needs coordinator role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the curriculum administrator 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

Why this move works

A special educational needs coordinator role treats 7 of its required skills as things a curriculum administrator already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • cooperate with education professionals
  • curriculum standards
  • evaluate education programmes
  • identify education needs
  • monitor educational developments
  • present reports

What stands in the way is 14 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 10 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A special educational needs coordinator role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a curriculum administrator background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held provide feedback to teachers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held advise on teaching methods communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held curriculum standards education
  • already held evaluate education programmes information skills
  • already held identify education needs management skills
  • already held advise on lesson plans communication, collaboration and creativity

All 10 carried skills, including the 7 the special educational needs coordinator role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

Note

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.
