Components of Mastery Criteria | Good to Know! | Images | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Minimum Number of Trials to be ran in session | Staff can always collect MORE than the minimum number of trials for a target |  |
| 2 | Percent Correct of the trials that were ran during the session | If the percent correct is MORE than the minimum, it will count towards mastery criteria. | |
| 3 | Consecutive Number of Sessions where the above two components must occur | Sessions do not need to be consecutive on a calendar to count towards mastery criteria. Sessions can be two separate occurrences of data collection. Each time a staff syncs data, this will count as a session. |
