COVID-19 brought a new world reality. This integrative literature review addressed how encouraging empathetic classroom activities boosts students' empathetic use in their community; how institutional empathetic communication post COVID-19 enhances students' abilities to meet educational challenges by fostering those learners' resilience due to the expansion of mutual care; how engaging learners academically, interculturally, mentally, and emotionally requires new development in institutional communicative approaches; how institutional practice and activities should embrace collaborative learning through well-designed activities; and how interpersonal perceptions shape institutional empathy practices. Therefore, infusing empathetic leadership develops a sense of belonging and profound trust in the community. Additionally, the review provides some researched pedagogical practices to spur empathy in educational environments, which support learners' academic competencies.10.4018/IJCDLM.339913International Journal of Curriculum Development and Learning Measurement (IJCDLM), Volume: 5, Issue: 1 (2024) Pages: 1-18Zaky, HanyCurriculum Development and Instructional DesignEducationK-12 Education2024-01-01T05:00:00Z511182024-01-01T05:00:00Z
