1 Share of the adult literacy teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the visual arts 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 adult literacy teacher role treats 16 of its required skills as things a visual arts teacher already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

adapt teaching to student's capabilities
apply teaching strategies
assess students
assessment processes
assist students in their learning
consult students on learning content

What stands in the way is 11 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 20 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 visual arts teacher 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 develop learning curriculum management skills
already held manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
already held instructional strategies education

All 20 carried skills, including the 16 the adult literacy teacher role treats as required.

The 22 missing skills fall into 6 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

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.
