摘要：AbstractTalent, like all other phenomena, requires to be managed. Many programs are designed to manage manpower talents in business and service sectors, but not a clear program exists for managing students’ talents in schools. The purpose of this survey was to investigate Talent Management in elementary schools from the perspectives of education experts. A group of experts in school management were purposefully selected to respond an open-answer researcher designed questionnaire. Grounded theory approach was, therefore, taken to collect data needed. The experts in school administration were asked about the impediments and opportunities available to perform talent management in elementary schools. Based on grounded theory applied for the study, four major categories were conceptualized in this respect, namely: identifying, educating, retaining, and improving. The interviewees expressed their views for the components of each category. The conceptual model found in the study was in harmony with the models in the literature for business and service sectors, yet different components need to be considered for each core based on school environment. Further study is suggested to examine the degree to which these components are implemented in Iranian elementary schools.
