How can schools ensure that their collaborations with outside organizations and professionals for empathy training are sustainable and have a long-lasting impact on students' emotional intelligence development?

Schools can ensure the sustainability of their collaborations by establishing clear goals and expectations with outside organizations and professionals. They should also prioritize ongoing communication and feedback to ensure that the training is meeting the needs of students. Additionally, schools can incorporate empathy training into their curriculum and school culture to reinforce the lessons learned from external collaborations. Finally, schools should invest in training their own staff to continue fostering emotional intelligence development even after external partnerships have ended.
