Educator entities are the individual theorists, reformers, philosophers and system builders this atlas documents, distinct from the approach they founded, the theory they authored, or the institution they led, each of which is its own entity linked back to the educator by relationship. This category is the atlas's biographical spine for education, grouped into seven bands by primary scholarly contribution, from learning and cognitive theorists through educational philosophers and progressive reformers, covering everyone the field credits with shaping how education itself is understood and practiced, not only classroom-facing teachers.
