Procedure details
Description
A wide range of measures are specifically geared towards supporting particularly gifted pupils and include measures to shorten their school career (acceleration) as well as additional activities that go beyond the classroom (enrichment). Other important components in the promotion of gifted children and young people are the counseling of particularly gifted children and young people and their parents by appropriate specialist staff and the anchoring of the topic in teacher training and further education. Counseling for particularly gifted students and their parents/guardians is provided at the school by the respective class teacher and subject teachers. At each school, guidance teachers and school psychologists can also be involved as contact persons. In addition, a total of nine state school counseling centers are located in the administrative districts, where particularly experienced counseling teachers and school psychologists are available to answer questions about giftedness and diagnostics.
The counseling services offered by the state school counseling centers include
- Identification and diagnosis of gifted potential
- Options for support at school
- Advice on school careers (e.g. skipping/changing schools)
- Advice for affected teachers
- Advice for the children
- Possible extracurricular support
The brochure "Finding and supporting gifted children" from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, which is primarily aimed at parents and teachers, and the guide "Finding and supporting special talents at secondary schools" from the State Institute for School Quality and Educational Research Munich (ISB) provide initial information on the topic (see "Further links")
