Purpose of the Study: One of the important features of effective pedagogical school is the close cooperation of parents and teachers in the gifted students' educationworldwide. Cooperation represents a joint action and negotiation, which is aimed at finding solutions, and a new, common ground. Cooperation between schools and parents may be traditional and partnership-oriented. In what way it will be achieved and placed, depends on the legal regulations, school environment, professional competence and individual characteristics of teachers, sociodemographic, and psychosocial characteristics of the parents. The study aims to determine the teacher functions in cooperation between the family and school. Methodology: The leading approaches to the study of this problem are: the method of historical and logical analysis of regulatory documents of foreign governments and research papers by leading scientists dealing with gifted education issues and the method of analysis, comparison, synthesis and generalization of innovative foreign, and domestic pedagogical experience. Results: The paper is based on the assumption that parents do not participate in decision-making at the school and that the cooperation between family and school in primary schools is still traditional. The results showed that parents are not involved in decision-making at the school, and the cooperation between family and school is still traditional and that is mainly related to parent meetings and informative conversations, without involvement of the partnership. Implication: The authors focus on the specifics of working with gifted students' parents, as well as on the analysis of the problems of gifted students' education in different countries. The studies confirm that the task of parents and teachers working with gifted students is to create the necessary conditions and environment in which the gifted students could successfully develop and learn to overcome various difficulties. Novelty: Materials of the article can be useful for professors, teachers, students, and a wide range of readers interested in the problems of gifted students' education.
