Accelerate learning with K–12 screening and progress monitoring assessments for academics and social-emotional behavior with intervention recommendations.
Drive instruction and intervention with research-based 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.
Make impactful data-driven decisions with confidence
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).
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
Fuel your data-driven MTSS with screening and progress monitoring
Social-Emotional Behavior (SEB)
Identify and support K–12 academic, social, and/or emotional needs.
FastBridge combines computer-adaptive testing (CAT) with curriculum-based measures (CBM) for academics and SEB in one platform.
Ensure all students are meeting grade-level benchmarks and evaluate effectiveness of core instruction.
Know where to focus Tier 1 intensifications, which students may need Tier 2 or Tier 3 supports, and the right intervention to implement with each learner.
Accurately determine whether to continue, fade, or adjust an intervention in only six data points with the FAST Projection™ algorithm.
Clearly see where to focus whole class instruction, know the right small group or individual interventions for each learner, and monitor growth over time to ensure all students are succeeding.
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.
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.
Accelerate growth with specific and targeted intervention recommendations for small groups and individual students to effectively address skill gaps.
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
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:
Set up progress monitoring plans using recommended measures
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.
Determine whether interventions are working—and if they’re working quickly enough—with valid and reliable progress monitoring across reading, math, and SEB.

FastBridge’s research-based assessments have been developed in collaboration with researchers from the Universities of Minnesota, Georgia, Missouri, Buffalo, South Florida, as well as Penn State and Syracuse University. Our goal is to expedite bringing new assessments and innovations to educators.
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.

It’s one thing to look at grades and see a student is struggling across most content areas. But when you’re able to piece together additional pieces of that data story—that they lack readiness skills or have difficulty with sustained attention and initial engagement—that informs the type of intervention needed.
