The article discusses the way of understanding the educator and teacher’s figures and roles at the “Somosaguas Experience” and how it represents a meaningful change referred to the valid educational practice until that moment. However, it’s not assumed as an isolated change, but located in the group of innovations that the “Somosaguas Experience” introduces. That Movement of pedagogic renovation starts at the sixties of the 20th century and continues, as an organized Movement, until 1972. It gets the name of the school centre where begins: the Veritas High School (Somosaguas) in Madrid, and is considered precursor, in many ways, of the main educational reform fixed at the Spanish Education and Financing General Law about the Educational Reform of 1970 and even later educational laws and quite a generalized practice.
