Overview

FastBridge delivers research-based universal screening, diagnostic reporting, and progress monitoring for K–12 reading, math, and social-emotional behavior (SEB). It combines Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM) and Computer-Adaptive Testing (CAT) to provide quick, valid screening results, growth projections, and instructional recommendations so schools can identify risk, target intervention, and monitor effects efficiently.

Features and Capabilities

• Assessment Types: FastBridge combines CBM and CAT to balance sensitivity to growth and adaptive breadth, improving the reliability of universal screening and diagnostics.
• Intensive Intervention Charts: Provides clear visualizations to evaluate the effectiveness of targeted interventions and guide instructional adjustments.
• Domains Covered: Reading, Math, and Social-Emotional Behavior (SEB) — enabling schools to screen and monitor academic and behavioral needs within one unified system.
• Screening to Intervention: Screening-to-Intervention reports recommend class, small-group, and individual interventions and lesson plans based on identified skill gaps.
• Progress Monitoring & Growth: Frequent progress monitoring using projection methods that require fewer data points, helping educators determine early whether interventions are working.
• Reporting & Dashboards: Offers district, school, teacher, and student-level dashboards with growth charts, heatmaps, and group reports to support MTSS and data-driven decision-making.
• Validity & Research Base: Developed with a strong research foundation, leveraging peer-reviewed studies, national norms, and academic partnerships to ensure valid and reliable measurement.
• Time Efficiency: Designed to reduce testing time by consolidating assessments, allowing teachers to focus more on instruction rather than test administration.
• State & Compliance Support: Aligns to state literacy and math standards and supports state-level initiatives, including K–3 early literacy and dyslexia screening requirements.
• Support & Training: Provides webinars, implementation resources, virtual events, and customer success guidance to help schools effectively use the platform within MTSS frameworks.
• Integrations & Rostering: Compatible with common SSO and rostering systems, enabling streamlined provisioning and secure access for districts.
