Before You Respond,
INSPECT.
Seven areas of adult practice. One clearer picture of what’s working, what needs attention, and what to strengthen next.
When a student shuts down, refuses, disconnects, or escalates, what happens next depends on more than the student’s behavior.
Our responses, classroom conditions, expectations, and available supports matter.
The INSPECT Classroom Self-Assessment helps you reflect on seven areas you can influence, then turn that reflection into one or two practical next steps.
- Approximately 6–8 minutes
- 21 reflection statements
- Seven INSPECT domains
- Personalized action plan
- Free, private, and no login required
A practical lens for adult practice
Seven areas you can influence.
Select a domain to see what it asks you to examine.
Examining and regulating the adult response.
A reflection, not a rating
Look at your practice, not your perfection.
Think about your classroom experiences over the past two instructional weeks.
For each statement, select the response that best describes what you typically do when the situation is relevant.
Answer based on actual practice, not what you believe you should do. There are no perfect scores. The purpose is to identify one or two useful next steps.
This self-assessment is a professional reflection and coaching resource. Results are based on self-reported practices and are not standardized measures of educator performance or student outcomes. Follow applicable school policies, individualized student plans, and established safety procedures.
