45.7/ 100
1 How much of what a tutor is expected to do is already part of a special educational needs itinerant 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 tutor role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A tutor role treats 11 of its required skills as things a special educational needs itinerant 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
- consult student's support system
What stands in the way is 7 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 19 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A tutor role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a special educational needs itinerant teacher background worth leading with.
- already held provide teacher support communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held show consideration for student's situation communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held consult student's support system communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held communicate with youth communication, collaboration and creativity
- already held secondary school procedures business, administration and law

Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 17 missing skills fall into 5 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.
