1 Share of the early years teacher role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the adult literacy 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.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 23 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A early years teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a adult literacy 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 manage student relationships communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held instructional strategies education
  • already held adapt teaching to student's capabilities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held liaise with educational support staff communication, collaboration and creativity

All 23 carried skills, including the 18 the early years 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.
