Theorising compassion and empathy in educational contexts: What are compassion and empathy and why are they important?

• Compassion and empathy are important attributes in supporting social and cultural cohesion, yet there is limited research on how we can teach compassion and empathy in schools. Similarly, it is important to show compassion and empathy towards teachers in supporting their everyday work in a complex world. This chapter therefore shares past research that has explored how researchers have analysed various features of learning and teaching compassion and empathy. This includes a number of models of compassion and empathy. It will also outline the contributions to this book.
