The self-assessment is designed to help school teams map their school’s current UDL practices to determine where they are and what next steps they can take on their UDL journey. Leadership teams use school data to identify areas of strength and growth related to schoolwide UDL practices and to identify potential entry points for improving UDL implementation. School teams can use the outcomes of this self-assessment to:  

• determine an area of focus;
• set an improvement goal;
• identify ongoing data that can be used to substantiate progress toward the goal;
• develop an action plan; 
• determine a timeline for revisiting and revising the plan and goal; and
• determine readiness for UDL School Certification

The UDL-SICC Full Criteria document provides a comprehensive description of the SICC. The UDL-SICC is built around four domains; School Culture and Environment, Teaching and Learning, Leadership and Management, and Professional Learning. They provide an organizational structure for thinking about schoolwide UDL implementation. Each domain is defined by its four elements, which guide implementation and are measured during certification. It includes grounding information about the criteria organization and structure, and provides detailed information, by domain, for all elements. Each element is defined by intent, indicator, and level. 

• Intent describes the purpose behind the element and its significance to school-wide UDL implementation.
• Indicators define and set the standard for full implementation of each element, and are used to monitor progress toward implementation. 
• Levels describe the continuum of practices that improve implementation, leading to certification of the element.
