Abstract
In this chapter, we analyse the framework and organization of talent classes in a particular public school context in Denmark. We consider the local context of setting up talent classes, the political background of the talent class project and the recruitment of students and teachers for the classes. We begin by outlining the relatively simple organization and division of labour behind the project and then look at cooperative relations and cultures among the teachers in the project.
