Through compiling this list I have become aware of the fact that a lot of my techniques over lap, I am trained as a dancer and dance teacher and quite clearly these two coinsied with eachother. I came across the Venn diagram and thought this would be helpfull to identify what techniques purely enable me as a daner or dance teacher and what I need for both.
This diagram has given me a clear idea of where and what I need to develop, the skills I have as a dancer are all there to make the transition into a teacher a lot smoother. I want to enhance my skills as a dancer and become an expert where possible. Therefore leading me to move onto the skills needed solely as a dance teacher.
I am hoping I can now develop these skills through my work on this course.
I am glad you found the Capability Assessment useful Leanne - it helped me to identify the gaps in my knowledge and think about how I should prioritise developing new skills. Thanks for sharing your diagram above - it's a great way of clearly seeing what skills you already have in order to transfer into a teaching career.
