This study aimed to assess the repertoire of social skills and empathy in 94 basic education teachers. This is a cross-sectional quantitative study using the Social Skills Inventory-2-Del-Prette and the Empathy Inventory. Based on the sample, 62,7% had above average or average social skills and 37,2% were referred to social skills training. Empathy had high scores and altruism was above average (95%). Negative correlations were identified between social skills and altruism, whereas positive correlations were identified between social skills and affective sensitivity and perspective-taking. It was concluded that most teachers had satisfactory social skills and empathy. Nevertheless, deficient indexes found in a portion of the sample need to be improved.
