Overview

FastBridge Progress Monitoring Tool is a cloud-based assessment and progress-monitoring solution for K–12. It combines universal screening, curriculum-based measures (CBM), and computer-adaptive tests (CAT) to deliver rapid, research-based diagnostics, clear reports, growth projections, and intervention recommendations so educators can identify risk, track progress, and adjust instruction efficiently. The tool integrates with broader data systems to support whole-child decision making.
