Sažetak
In this paper we want to point to new trends in analyzing the role of educators, such that are fitting for our times. By educator we mean a trained professional, an expert whose job is to sensitize the public to particular issues and apply relevant educational theories and practices on all levels of the educational system. Educators should follow current developments in their field of study for the whole duration of their professional lives. This is especially true in the fields of pedagogy, psychology, didactics and philosophy of education. To that end, we have attempted to put the educator in the center of our research. The imperative of an educator is continuous professional self-development; therefore, our profile encompasses all the requirements that a 21st century educator needs to meet. Such an educator must follow the development of all key competencies important for educational work in the contemporary school settings, which should be based on acquiring new knowledge, skills and abilities, as well as training those already acquired. This is important, because with good educators in the system, the schools will be better at fulfilling their educational goals.
