Drive instruction and intervention with research-based assessments

Reading, math, and social-emotional behavior assessments

FastBridge’s valid and reliable assessments help educators identify students’ academic and social-emotional behavior (SEB) needs faster, align the right interventions at the right time, and measure whether interventions are helping students catch up—all in one platform.

Identify

Make targeted decisions with one system to guide academic and social-emotional behavior (SEB) improvements and interventions.

Intervene

Ensure valid and reliable results with research-based tools developed in collaboration with researchers.

Measure

Spend less time testing and more time teaching with a system that informs and monitors student learning in 30 mins or less.

Grow

Drive student achievement and growth with powerful data from universal screening and progress monitoring tools.

Make impactful data-driven decisions with confidence

Screening and progress monitoring for academics and SEB

FastBridge combines curriculum-based measures (CBM) and computer-adaptive tests (CAT) to support screening and progress monitoring across reading, math, and social-emotional behavior (SEB).

Universal screening for academics and SEB

Monitor trends over time and disaggregate results by different groups of students to ensure that growth is happening equitably for all learners. Examine patterns to identify areas in which specific groups of students are struggling to align more targeted schoolwide or whole group supports.

Progress monitoring to help close learning gaps faster

FastBridge’s valid and reliable progress monitoring tools measure whether interventions are helping students catch up so educators can easily tell whether to continue, fade, or adjust an intervention in half the time as other tools.

While many academic progress monitoring tools require 12 data points, FastBridge’s patent-pending FAST Projection™ line can deliver actionable insight in 6–12 weeks.

Know exactly how to teach and intervene

Receive Tier 1 classwide academic instruction recommendations, along with specific lesson plans.

Follow prescriptive small group and individual student intervention recommendations to target the exact skills causing students to struggle.

Support SEB for all students with embedded social, emotional, and academic behavior intervention strategies.

FastBridge Tier 1 instruction academic recommendations

Help all students become successful readers

Identify students with characteristics of dyslexia—without any additional testing. Assess the specific reading skills that research shows are most likely to predict a manifestation of dyslexia, including phonological awareness and rapid automatic naming (RAN).

Strengthen Tier 1 with data-driven program evaluation

Inform Tier 1 program evaluation with valid and reliable academic and SEB data from all learners in the district, school, grade, or class. Identify areas of effective and ineffective core practices to continually drive instructional supports where students need them most. Guide academic and SEL curriculum decisions with accurate data around the specific skills most students still need to build.

Drive equitable academic and SEB outcomes

Monitor trends over time and disaggregate results by different groups of students to ensure that growth is happening equitably for all learners. Examine patterns to identify areas in which specific groups of students are struggling to align more targeted schoolwide or whole group supports.

How FastBridge works

1

Screen for academics and SEB

Screen all students in math, reading, and SEB with FastBridge’s brief, reliable, and accurate screening tools. Identify which students are at risk for poor learning outcomes and the specific skills causing students to struggle.

2

Plan Tier 1 supports

Drive district, school, and grade-level resource allocation to meet academic and SEB needs in the universal tier.

In the classroom, address classwide skill gaps with FastBridge’s whole group instructional recommendations and easy-to-follow lesson plans.

3

Plan Tier 2 and Tier 3 supports

Accelerate growth with specific and targeted intervention recommendations for small groups and individual students to effectively address skill gaps.

4

Progress monitor

Determine whether interventions are working—and if they’re working quickly enough—with valid and reliable progress monitoring across reading, math, and SEB.

Screening to Intervention (s2i) Report

Dive Deeper into FastBridge

The Screening to Intervention (s2i) Report recommends specific class, small group, and individual student academic interventions, based on the data. This report enables you to:

- Determine specific skill gaps
- Receive instruction and intervention recommendations at each tier
- Understand leveled reading program comparisons

Set up progress monitoring plans using recommended measures

FAST Projection™ line

Our academic progress monitoring tools leverage ground-breaking research on conditional probability from the University of Minnesota to know if interventions are working six weeks earlier than traditional methods.

Get actionable insight in six to twelve weeks, saving weeks or months of testing time
Intervene smarter with visibility into whether an intervention is working or needs to be changed
Keep students on track with an accurate prediction of future growth

FastBridge annually supports 34.7M screening and 9.9M progress monitoring administrations across 48 states

Determine whether interventions are working—and if they’re working quickly enough—with valid and reliable progress monitoring across reading, math, and SEB.

Read the study

The school counselors were searching for a way to better support students, and once I presented FastBridge to those counselors and the school leadership team, they were sold immediately. Once they saw the data they could get, it was all about functionality: ‘How soon can we do it?’ ‘How quickly can we get results?’ It really spread like wildfire.
