Standardization and validation of talent management tools in gifted schools in Tehran

A healthy, humane and efficient educational system considers individual differences in abilities and capabilities as normal and tries to flourish the talents of all students. Thus, in an effective education system, educational equality does not mean that all students have the same experiences, but it does mean that individuals have an equal opportunity to develop their talents. The existence of individual differences among students in terms of characteristics such as intelligence, personality, talent, academic achievement, economic and social status and learning power, is one of the most important issues that teachers face in their classrooms. For this reason, some who were really genius stood up and by providing accurate tools and methods, they were able to test their species from different aspects and reveal their differences.
Undoubtedly, in all countries of the world, developed or developing, the identification and management of brilliant talents and talented people with different philosophical motives and roots is considered. In some countries, the main motivation is the growth of intellectual powers and the development of special talents. But in others, the source of the effort is the emphasis on equal educational opportunities for all, while at the same time considering the full development of individuals' talents for self-actualization and meeting the needs of society. One of the most important parts of talent development and talent management takes place in gifted schools. In developed countries, scientifically and educationally, at the beginning of a child entering primary school, he is tested for talent and then, in accordance with the identified talent, the person begins to study. A job that has no place in the Iranian educational system, and another weakness is the memory-oriented nature of the educational system, while modern educational systems are intelligence-oriented; Simply put, in advanced schools, people who have a better ability to analyze content grow better.
In today's fast-paced, competitive world, what guarantees the superiority of companies and organizations over each other is the availability of talented human resources, especially at management levels. But the challenge that is faced today in organizations across the country is to attract, develop and retain these talents. On the other hand, improving the human resources to increase the productivity of the organization is always considered by every organization. According to management and organization experts, performance appraisal is a good way to improve human resources (Schooley. 2010: 4).
Talent management includes the dimensions of attracting, selecting, engaging, developing and retaining employees, which at the center of these dimensions are the competencies and core values ​​of the organization. These factors or dimensions are interconnected through a continuous process, strategy, implementation and evaluation. It is worth noting that talent management in educational institutions, especially in gifted schools, is at the forefront of developing human capital and youth skills. This management is a set of organizational activities for assets, development, motivation and retention of talented personnel to achieve the goals. The future of the organization
