OVERVIEW OF TEACHER EDUCATION TO WORK WITH GIFTED AND TALENTED CHILDREN IN CROATIA AND WORLDWIDE

In the light of the rapid change and the general globalization of society nor school or a teacher cannot remain the same. Europeisation, setting common social and human values causes a wave of change in education as well as in the organization of the system of teacher education and their future professional development. Modern school places increasing requirements on teachers and the competences of teachers have become increasingly complex. The educational systems in the world that recognize the importance of ensuring social, especially educational support, for gifted and talented individuals have developed a variety of formal and informal forms of higher education teachers. Paper is focused on review of models of teacher education for work with gifted and talented individuals in the world (Austria, USA, Australia, Israel, etc.) and Croatia in order to improve the current system of teacher education in Croatia. This encourages opening often-installed questions, (but never realized) about the social and political attitudes of Croatian society towards the education of the most capable members of society.
