Once a staff selects Duration as the method of data collection for a program, they will need to modify the mastery criteria. The mastery criteria will contain 4 components.
Component | Description | Good to Know! | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | “At Least” or “At Most” | At Least will require the behavior to occur for a minimum amount of time to be marked as correct. At Most will require the behavior to occur for less than the maximum amount of time to be marked as correct. |
|
| 2 | Enter the total amount of time the behavior should occur. | Time can be set up as either seconds, minutes or hours. | This is what will be reflected in the y-axis of the graph. |
| 3 | Select how often this skill should be tracked. | The skill can be tracked across sessions or days | The selection made for either session or days will automatically populate the same selection in the 4th component. |
| 4 | Select how long the skill should occur at the set criteria to trigger mastery. | The total number of sessions or days can be indicated. |

If a staff chose seconds to track the skill, the y-axis will display seconds when viewing data.
