<p align="justify"><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><font size="3">Working with gifted children has shifted from efforts to increase productivity and early diagnosing towards searching for formation of a holistic personality. Elementary schools have their own educational plan, allowing them space to undertake comprehensive pedagogical concepts that include an integrated development of personality. In our research, we wanted to find out how schools used educational plans. Sixty elementary school educational plans have been examined in the survey and thirty interviews were done with school headmasters. We have found out that most frequent chosen value was respect and that fulfilment values are the least represented. The contents through which person can develop to its highest possible level depend on the definition of personality. Therefore, it is important which area of personality are included in educational process and the core of personality that connects all areas into one. Our proposal follows the document of the UNESCO Commission (1996) and ZOŠ - The Elementary School Act (2007). The UNESCO Commission expects the school to contribute to the development of each pupil, “to his mental, physical and emotional development, to his sense of beauty, towards personal responsibility and spiritual values”. The Elementary School Act highlights “the promotion of harmonious physical, cognitive, emotional, moral, spiritual and social development of the individual” (2</font>^{<font size="3">nd</font>}<font size="3"> article). On the basis of the synthesis of these two definitions, we are introducing seven spheres of development, suggesting that each of them contributes to a fulfilment of a person: 1) physical development, 2) emotional development, 3) cognitive development, 4) personal responsibility or moral development, 5) social development, 6) sense of beauty and 7) spiritual development. We propose, too, self-esteem for educational purposes as a most valuable core of personality. This framework underlines importance of the relationship of talent education with the development of hole personality. </font></font></p>
