Abstract

2007 was a specially outstanding year for the 10 schools group with the highest grades in “Prova Brasil”. They reached that position because, independent of their infrastructure quality or of their students socioeconomic level, all of them adopt permanently educommunicative practices that involve art and mediatic production. It was also a special year for this journal and for ECA/USP because one of its professors, Ismar de Oliveira Soares, after an Internet survey by Grupo Educartis,
was indicated to receive the title of Educator of the Year, for his involvement with Educommunication. In this article, in a text of autobiographic characteristic written by request of Revista Comunicação & Educação, Ismar de Oliveira Soares introduces to readers the formulation and consolidation of the concept by which a remarkable number of educommunicators become, in their students’ heart, “educators of the year”, in their schools, NGOs and communities.
