Anthropogogy is a new approach that
will replace pedagogy. Nir Golan offers a new definition of
Anthropogogy as: "Leading a person (regardless of age) throughout significant
learning towards behavioral change that can be implemented immediately"
(Golan, 2014). In order to
assimilate this new approach educational leaders are needed.
There are ten guidelines to
assimilate Anthropogogy in schools:
1. Educational leaders must effectively
and consistently model the use of the "significant learning model"
they expect teacher to use in their classrooms with the students.
The
significant learning model
· Action-
needs identification and learner performance
· Behavior-
conceptualization of the action
· Norm-
transformation of the behavior to a norm
· Value-
defining the value in the behavior
· Identity
redefined- redefinition of my unique identity
· Teaching-
Using the Anthropogogy model to teach the other
2. Educational leaders must be consistent
in their decisions and expectations about the Anthropogogy approach in the
school.
3. The educational leader's
communication about the pace and process of assimilating the "significant
learning model" needs to be clear and reasonable.
4. The educational leader must provide
appropriate professional development plan: time and resources to support
effective classroom assimilation of the model.
5. The educational leader must support
early adopters and risk takers.
6. The educational leader must do
whatever it takes to ensure that all staff has early preparation to the Anthropogogy
approach that the student will be using in their classrooms.
7. The educational leader must take it
clear that all decisions relating to Anthropogogy will be made by him with impute
from the other experts, not the other way around.
8. The educational leader must set and
support the expectation that student work will be done by using the model.
9. Educational leader must ensure that
families and the public are kept informed about school's Anthropogogy approach
and progress relating to its use of the model as a learning method.
10. The Educational leader must be an
active and public champion for all students, staff members, and the school of
assimilating a vision of fully Anthropogogy approach for the second decade
of twenty-first century.

to assist school leaders in integrating technology in their schools and
leadership practices (Demsky, 2012).
