description: A healthy, humane and efficient educational system considers individual\ndifferences in abilities and capabilities as normal and tries to flourish the\ntalents of all students. Thus, in an effective education system, educational\nequality does not mean that all students have the same experiences, but it\ndoes mean that individuals have an equal opportunity to develop their talents.\nThe existence of individual differences among students in terms of\ncharacteristics such as intelligence, personality, talent, academic\nachievement, economic and social status and learning power, is one of the\nmost important issues that teachers face in their classrooms. For this reason,\nsome who were really genius stood up and by providing accurate tools and\nmethods, they were able to test their species from different aspects and reveal\ntheir differences.\nUndoubtedly, in all countries of the world, developed or developing, the\nidentification and management of brilliant talents and talented people with\ndifferent philosophical motives and roots is considered. In some countries,\nthe main motivation is the growth of intellectual powers and the development\nof special talents. But in others, the source of the effort is the emphasis on\nequal educational opportunities for all, while at the same time considering the\nfull development of individuals' talents for self-actualization and meeting the\nneeds of society. One of the most important parts of talent development and\ntalent management takes place in gifted schools. In developed countries,\nscientifically and educationally, at the beginning of a child entering primary\nschool, 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\neducational system, and another weakness is the memory-oriented nature of\nthe educational system, while modern educational systems are intelligenceoriented; Simply put, in advanced schools, people who have a better ability to\nanalyze content grow better.\nIn today's fast-paced, competitive world, what guarantees the superiority of\ncompanies and organizations over each other is the availability of talented\nhuman resources, especially at management levels. But the challenge that is\nfaced today in organizations across the country is to attract, develop and\nretain these talents. On the other hand, improving the human resources to\nincrease the productivity of the organization is always considered by every\norganization. According to management and organization experts,\nperformance appraisal is a good way to improve human resources (Schooley.\n2010: 4).\nTalent management includes the dimensions of attracting, selecting, engaging,\ndeveloping and retaining employees, which at the center of these dimensions\nare the competencies and core values of the organization. These factors or\ndimensions are interconnected through a continuous process, strategy,\nimplementation and evaluation. It is worth noting that talent management in\neducational institutions, especially in gifted schools, is at the forefront of\ndeveloping human capital and youth skills. This management is a set of\norganizational activities for assets, development, motivation and retention of\ntalented personnel to achieve the goals. The future of the organization\nTherefore, the importance of paying attention to talent management in gifted\nschools, made the researcher in this research to be able to identify and\nmanage talented people and talented people and attract and retain these\ntalents in the country and implement and implement and Institutionalize\nstudent talent management and improve their level to provide appropriate\nscientific and practical solutions.\nThe necessity of this research is that the benefits of work return to the system of\nthe educational system of the country and also help the students and their\nteachers and parents. It can also promote the work and development of school\nstaff, including principals, teachers and assistants. Also, by correctly\nidentifying the talents and guiding the students to future job and career fields\nand making the best use of their talents, it will be possible to draw and\nachieve the desired job for the students in accordance with their talents and\ninterests.\nTherefore, the main issue of this research is testing and validating the talent\nmanagement model in gifted schools, which is based on a case study\nconducted in Tehran.\nUndoubtedly, one of the most important motivations of the researcher in dealing\nwith this issue and why this issue became his mental concern, was his lived\nand personal experience during his academic and professional period. Also,\nthe most important motivations of the researcher in dealing with this issue\nand the mental concern of the researcher are due to the prevailing atmosphere\nof schools and society and ignoring the inner motivations and interests and\ninnate talents of students. In this regard, in the country's schools from the\nvery beginning of elementary school students to the category of talent\nidentification and recognition of potential abilities of learners and guide them\nin the right direction is not in line with their interests and this has caused\nmany of these talents remain unknown and only in festivals. Scientific\nolympiads and special aptitude tests in the country can identify and guide\nsome of them.\nIt can be said that talent management in educational institutions, especially\nschools, is in line with the development of human capital and skills. In this\nstudy, the quantitative research method was descriptive-correlational. The\nstatistical population of this study includes all teachers and principals of\ngifted schools in Tehran and the statistical sample was based on the sample\nneeded to perform exploratory or confirmatory factor analysis of 300 people\nand the sampling method was proportional to the volume of sub-populations\n(different gifted schools). The research tool was a researcher-made\nquestionnaire that was validated for exploratory and confirmatory factor\nanalysis using SPSS and AMOS software to analyze the data in this study.\nThe results in standard mode showed that talent management in gifted\nschools has a positive and significant effect on the components; Talentsupporting laws and regulations have a talent management perspective, talent\nmanagement financial resources, talent-creating atmosphere, soft\ninfrastructure establishment, hard infrastructure establishment, scientific and\nacademic system, quality of teaching and learning and talent management.\nAlso, according to Cronbach's alpha 0.710 and combined reliability 0.803 has\na good reliability and according to convergent validity 0.625 has a good\nvalidity.
