  
				Child Group - Principles guiding ActionThe goal in 
				this pedagogy derived from Hjalli is to treat every child as a 
				unique individual, and to recognize and respect the varied needs 
				of different age groups, genders and individuals. The school 
				will also honor the freedom of choice and diverse interests of 
				the children, and see to their needs in an all-encompassing way. 
				The principles and periods of action derive from the Icelandic 
				gender-sensitive pedagogy of Hjalli. These principles and
				six periods in the cycle of the year 
				have been implemented, applied and/or developed further with 
				partners of the Allies project. Skills learned in each period 
				are practiced not only in preschool and school, but also at home 
				(see parents’ 
				Newsletters in this manual).
