1 How much of what a physical education teacher secondary school is expected to do is already part of a drama teacher secondary school’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the physical education teacher secondary school role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

A physical education teacher secondary school role treats 24 of its required skills as things a drama teacher secondary school already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • 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 physical education teacher secondary school role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a drama 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

Table 3

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 23 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
