Your questions answered

How FastBridge powers better decisions

Find answers to common questions about universal screening, progress monitoring, and how FastBridge helps schools identify needs sooner, intervene smarter, and improve outcomes for every learner.

What is FastBridge, and how does it support data-driven decision making?

FastBridge combines CBM and CAT to provide valid and reliable data across reading, math, and SEB. This unified approach helps educators confidently make instructional and intervention decisions based on actionable insights.

How does FastBridge support universal screening?

FastBridge offers universal screening for academics and SEB, allowing educators to monitor student performance trends over time. The system disaggregates results by student group to highlight equity gaps and helps identify where schoolwide or whole-group supports may be needed.

How does FastBridge help with progress monitoring?

FastBridge provides research-based progress monitoring tools that determine whether interventions are working and whether they’re working quickly enough. Unlike tools that require 12 data points—often taking months to collect—FastBridge’s FAST Projection™ algorithm delivers reliable, actionable insights in just 6–12 weeks, helping educators adjust instruction sooner.

What type of intervention guidance does FastBridge provide?

FastBridge delivers clear instructional recommendations at every level:

  • Tier 1: Classwide academic instructional guidance and lesson plans.
  • Tier 2 and Tier 3: Prescriptive small-group and individual intervention recommendations that target the exact skills students are struggling with.
  • SEB: Embedded strategies that support social, emotional, and academic behavior needs.

How does FastBridge help identify characteristics of dyslexia?

FastBridge identifies students who may show characteristics of dyslexia without requiring additional assessments. It measures key reading skills known to predict the manifestation of dyslexia, including phonological awareness and rapid automatic naming (RAN).

How can FastBridge support Tier 1 program evaluation?

FastBridge provides comprehensive academic and SEB data from all students, enabling educators to evaluate the effectiveness of core instruction at the district, school, grade, or classroom level. These insights help highlight strengths, pinpoint gaps, and guide curriculum and instructional decisions.

In what ways does FastBridge help districts advance equity?

By monitoring performance trends over time and disaggregating data by student group, FastBridge helps educators identify where inequities exist. This enables more targeted supports—whether schoolwide or classroom-based—to ensure all learners receive what they need to succeed.
