About SocialEyes
SocialEyes gives educators tools and strategies to foster empathy, inclusivity, playfulness, and mindfulness in their students. This helps create nurturing classrooms where everyone feels safe, valued, and ready to grow.
Our unique approach is built on over 40 years of experience by our founder, Robin Fox, who has worked directly with K-12 students and teachers. Robin has spent decades perfecting Social Emotional Learning (SEL) to create a real impact in classrooms and schools.
Social Emotional Learning leads to self-worth, community, and belonging. It’s not just a philosophy—it’s kindness in action. Through SEL, students learn to accept themselves and others, faults and all and accept others, imperfections included.

The foundation of all our work rests on four pillars:
Cognitive Awareness
We encourage students to Think, Act, Listen, and Look on Purpose. Students learn how their thoughts affect their emotions and their behavior. We offer students unique tools to regulate emotions, bring them into the present moment, and communicate productively with others.
Trauma-Aware Teaching
When educators are trauma-aware, they effectively bring their students from reactiveness into responsiveness. Students are seen, heard, and understood through the lens of compassionate empathy.
Nervous System Management
People react poorly, feel anxious, and miscommunicate when their nervous systems are dysregulated. Practicing self awareness and using techniques to stay calm when needed, results in students feeling safe and ready to learn.
Applied Improv
Applied improv sets the stage for students to practice building joyful connections while using the principles of improvisation. The “fun” is what hooks them.The learning lasts a lifetime.
How can we help you?
SEL Lesson Plans
Our lesson plans make it easy to deliver Social Emotional Learning to students in unique, interactive, and engaging ways in person or online. With these tools, teachers can lead SEL lessons with confidence and clarity.
Keeping Kids Safe
We’ve created a guide focused on anti-bullying and empathy-building to help teachers, school professionals, and community groups teach kids to navigate their childhood and teenage years… safe and sound.
Workshops
During these professional development sessions, participants are strategically guided to connect in both small and large groups for experiences that support the underpinnings of a healthy school where everyone thrives.
Speaking
Robin speaks to groups both online and in person about a variety of topics: SEL, trauma-informed teaching, building student confidence, and more. Her programs are always tailored to the specific needs of schools and groups.
