We want to become a school that promotes talent and excellence. What steps can we take to achieve this? The answer varies somewhat depending on the specific location, but there are significant areas of development that a school should focus on in its journey towards fostering talent and excellence. This handbook contains numerous suggestions regarding both the process and the content of such school development initiatives. Starting from the creation of a shared vision for the school, the school development project is planned with all its steps and milestones. It includes ideas for implementing talent- and excellence-promoting methods in daily teaching, considerations for the use of development-oriented feedback, and recommendations for individual counseling and support for gifted students. The handbook is rounded off with additional resources.
