1 Share of the adult literacy teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the survival 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 adult literacy teacher role treats 11 of its required skills as things a survival instructor already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • consult students on learning content
  • demonstrate when teaching
  • encourage students to acknowledge their achievements

What stands in the way is 16 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A adult literacy teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a survival instructor background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held consult students on learning content communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held encourage students to acknowledge their achievements management skills
  • already held manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held teamwork principles generic programmes and qualifications
  • already held assist students with equipment assisting and caring

All 14 carried skills, including the 11 the adult literacy 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.
