Target performance charts are multi-line or column charts that show average student is performance on multiple instructional targets.

• Performance is averaged for each period examined (day, week, or month).
• It is used to evaluate changes in student performance on multiple targets over time

To create an target chart:

1. {Select} the Reports tab on the main DDtrac menu and then choose "Targets" from the "Charts" dropdown menu.
   You will be taken to a form that allows you to specify objectives & targets to be charted, and the period for the chart.

   .
2. {Select} an objective from the dropdown menu.
   A list of targets associated with the objective will be dynamically displayed below the objective dropdown list.
   
   Alternately you can choose:
• Average of Objectives: which will generate multiple charts showing the average performance on all targets averaged for each objective.
• All Unmastered Targets: which will generate a separate chart for each objective with the performance on each unmastered target for the objective as a separate line/bar on the chart.
• All Mastered Targets: which will generate a separate chart for each objective with the performance on each mastered target for the objective as a separate line/bar on the chart.
• All Targets: which will generate a separate chart for each objective with the performance on each target for the objective as a separate line/bar on the chart.
• Note: if there are more than 20 targets being plotted or a given objective the performance on all targets will be averaged.
• No goal line will be displayed when using multi-chart generation.
3. {Click} the checkbox next to each target you want to include on the chart.
   Note: if you select more targets than can be displayed on the chart (given the number of periods specified) the performance on the targets will be aggregated into a single column.
4. {Select} a start date for the chart.
5. {Select} the amount of time summarized in each bar (months, weeks or days) then enter the number of periods to be displayed on the chart (where is a period is a month for the monthly chart and a day for the daily chart).
6. You may also {Set} a progress goal for the chart which will plot a line showing the score (or prompt level) the student needs to achieve for the particular objective.
7. {Select} the type of chart you want to use.  The default is to show a line chart.  You can also select to display a multi-column chart or a line chart with data labels.
8. You may also {Select} to include milestones (change lines) on the chart.
9. You may also {Select} to limit the data on the chart  to that taken by specific users.
