Annotation

The relevance of the research problem is due to the need to find effective ways to form the readiness of teachers at secondary schools of the municipal education system to identify, train and develop intellectually gifted students. As practice shows, schoolteachers are experiencing serious difficulties in the use of diagnostic techniques, developing technologies for teaching gifted students; in the development of copyright programs for taught disciplines; in the organization of various forms of educational and extracurricular activities. Ttherefore they need professional help and support from professional scientists in the field of children’s giftedness. Purpose is to develop and test a program of psychological and pedagogical support for the formation of teachers’ readiness to work with intellectually gifted students in the context of social and pedagogical partnership of a municipal secondary school and professional scientists in the development of children’s giftedness. Methods: theoretical analysis (retrospective, comparative, analysis and generalization of pedagogical experience); empirical (observation, questioning, conversation, pedagogical experiment, mathematical and static methods). The study sample consisted of 315 people (35 teachers, 280 students). The program of psychological and pedagogical support developed and implemented under the scientific supervision of Professor A.I. Savenkov contributed to increasing the level of professional and personal readiness of teachers to work with intellectually gifted students; increasing the level of development of students’ creativity, general and social intelligence, and, as a consequence, increasing the number of schoolchildren — winners and prize- winners of subject Olympiads, intellectual and creative competitions. The materials presented in the article make it possible to build a system of psychological and pedagogical support for teachers’ activities in identifying, teaching and developing intellectually gifted students in the context of social and pedagogical partnership of municipal administration bodies, secondary schools and s professional scientists in the development of children’s giftedness.
