Summary
In this lecture I will focus on the theories and models about talent development, like the comprehensive/differentiating model of giftedness and talent (C/DMGT), Munich model of giftedness (MMG/MDAAM) or actiotope model of giftedness (SMG), and their application in practice.The Dutch model Talent in Ontwikkeling (TiO) (talent in development) will be explored in relation to these models and their underlying theories. This model including an English version can be found on the website of SLO: https://www.slo.nl/thema/meer/talentontwikkeling/model-talent-ontwikkeling/
The model uses an interviewing and introspection technique as a method of intervention. TiO presents an idea about opportunities and challenges both from a personal perspective as from an environmental one.
