1 How much of what an agriculture, forestry and fishery vocational teacher is expected to do is already part of a sign language teacher’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 agriculture, forestry and fishery vocational teacher role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.

Why

Why this move works

An agriculture, forestry and fishery vocational teacher role treats 14 of its required skills as things a sign language teacher already does. You would walk in with these on day one.

  • adapt teaching to student's capabilities
  • apply teaching strategies
  • assess students
  • assessment processes
  • assist students in their learning
  • curriculum objectives

What stands in the way is 10 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 15 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. An agriculture, forestry and fishery vocational teacher role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a sign language teacher background worth leading with.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn

The 32 missing skills fall into 10 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.
