Abstract

The paper analyzes innovative products aimed at working with gifted children, presented by the schools of the city of St. Petersburg for the competition of innovative works within the framework of the St. Petersburg School 2020 project for the period from 2013 to 2019. The article reveals features of the works submitted to the competition, provides a primary classification of innovative products aimed at working with gifted students. The researcher also conducts an analysis of innovative products that made it to the final of the competition and the winning products, which were published in the corresponding collection and recommended for testing and implementation in schools. It is determined that the percentage of innovative products aimed at working with gifted children relative to the total number of works submitted to the competition is very low, but even less is the number of products that won the competition. Accordingly, schools in St. Petersburg need to pay more attention to working with gifted children.
