  • This grounded theory study investigated collaboration methods among actors working with gifted students with complex educational needs and their parents. Through interviews with students, parents, educational professionals, and care providers, both successful and unsuccessful collaboration strategies were examined. Subsequently, a model was proposed to enhance effective collaboration for this unique, but heterogenous group of students. This model describes overarching collaboration conditions that preferably should be discussed beforehand with actors involved to establish a functional collaborative culture. Furthermore, this model describes specific tasks for all actors involved that could be applied accordingly to enhance collaboration practices. Lastly, a case coordinator should be assigned that ensures continuity, stability, and a constant flow of information. By following this model, educational professionals, care providers, parents, and policy makers may find ways to enhance their collaboration practices to support these students more adequately in their development.

  • Effective collaboration among various actors is essential to optimally support the educational needs of gifted students. School leaders play an essential role in creating an environment and policies that foster this collaboration. This exploratory mixed-methods study investigated school leaders’ perceptions of the involvement of and interactions with actor groups (parents, teachers, and other school leaders) in the system surrounding gifted students, while identifying key facilitators and barriers. 136 primary and secondary school leaders completed a questionnaire, of whom 18 participated in semi-structured interviews. Findings indicated varying levels of perceived involvement, with teachers being most involved, followed by parents, and other school leaders. This pattern was mirrored in interaction frequencies across most queried topics. Despite these varying levels, school leaders expressed similar satisfaction with the involvement of and interactions with all actor groups. A positive relationship was found between involvement and interaction levels and their corresponding satisfaction. Actors’ willingness to contribute to and/or communicate about gifted education was a key facilitator, while a lack of willingness was frequently mentioned as a barrier. This study provides an initial understanding of factors impacting involvement and interactions in gifted education from school leaders’ perspectives, offering a foundation for enhancing collaboration and support.
