1 Share of the drama teacher secondary school role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the drama 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

Why this move works

A drama teacher secondary school role treats 21 of its required skills as things a drama teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • acting techniques
  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • analyse a script
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assist students in their learning

What stands in the way is 12 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 34 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A drama teacher secondary school role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a drama teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held define artistic performance concepts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held conduct background research for plays communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held analyse theatre texts communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held stimulate creativity in the team management skills
  • already held lead cast and crew management skills
  • already held adapt a script communication, collaboration and creativity

All 34 carried skills, including the 21 the drama teacher secondary school role treats as required.

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.
