51%
59.6/ 100
1 Share of the special educational needs teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the sign language 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 special educational needs teacher role treats 19 of its required skills as things a sign language teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.
- adapt teaching to student's capabilities
- apply teaching strategies
- assess students
- assist children with special needs in education settings
- assist students in their learning
- curriculum objectives
What stands in the way is 13 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 30 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A special educational needs teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sign language teacher background worth leading with.
- already held teach sign language communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held special needs learning equipment education
- already held support people with hearing impairment assisting and caring
- already held provide learning support communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held stimulate students' independence assisting and caring
- already held communication related to hearing impairment arts and humanities
All 30 carried skills, including the 19 the special educational needs teacher 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.
