Abstract: A key figure as an interpreter of the spirit of the time, the educator needs continuous training. This is an essential requirement for carrying out what is one of the main aspects of his work: facilitating inclusion, limiting any type of marginality and social exclusion. The role of the educator, based primarily on humanistic and social knowledge, is also rich in ethical values. Two valuable allies that the educator cannot help but resort to are observation and active listening; in fact, while observation allows us to collect the necessary information, by listening we welcome the other, with his strengths and weaknesses. To educate is also to communicate, to be close to the student, to communicate also with looks and gestures. In his action, the effective educator must also follow the path of dialogue, reciprocity, and communicative integration. This chapter explores these forms of education.
