1 Share of the music teacher secondary school role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the chemistry teacher secondary school 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 music teacher secondary school role treats 23 of its required skills as things a chemistry teacher secondary school 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
  • assign homework
  • assist students in their learning

What stands in the way is 9 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 43 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A music teacher secondary school role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a chemistry teacher secondary school background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held identify cross-curricular links with other subject areas communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held identify learning disorders information skills
  • already held adolescent socialisation behaviour social sciences, journalism and information
  • already held recognise indicators of gifted student management skills
  • already held post-secondary school procedures education
  • already held monitor student's behaviour management skills

All 43 carried skills, including the 23 the music teacher secondary school 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.
