1 Share of the performing arts school dance instructor role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the performing arts theatre instructor 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 performing arts school dance instructor role treats 23 of its required skills as things a performing arts theatre instructor 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
  • assessment processes
  • bring out performers’ artistic potential

What stands in the way is 7 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 51 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A performing arts school dance instructor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a performing arts theatre instructor background worth leading with.

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.
