50.8/ 100

1 Share of the photography teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the music 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 photography teacher role treats 14 of its required skills as things a music 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
  • assist students with equipment
  • consult students on learning content

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

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 22 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A photography teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a music teacher background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held develop a coaching style communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held consult students on learning content communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held develop artistic educational activities management skills
  • already held encourage students to acknowledge their achievements management skills
  • already held develop learning curriculum management skills
  • already held manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity

All 22 carried skills, including the 14 the photography teacher 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.
