A early years teacher already meets 70% of what the teacher of talented and gifted students role asks for. The move turns on 8 required skills not yet in the profile.
70%
41.2/ 100
1 Share of the teacher of talented and gifted students role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the early years 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 teacher of talented and gifted students role treats 27 of its required skills as things a early years teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- apply intercultural teaching strategies
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assess the development of youth
- assessment processes
What stands in the way is 8 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 40 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A teacher of talented and gifted students role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a early years teacher background worth leading with.
- already held use learning strategies information skills
- already held language teaching methods education
- already held kindergarten school procedures education
- already held common children's diseases health and welfare
- already held implement care programmes for children assisting and caring
- already held attend to children's basic physical needs assisting and caring
All 40 carried skills, including the 27 the teacher of talented and gifted students 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.
