FastBridge Learning

FastBridge Learning in Minneapolis aims to help teachers foster greater learning outcomes with evidence-based classroom assessments in math, reading, and behavior developed by a team of researchers from the University of Minnesota, which provide teachers data and real-time feedback to inform intervention and instruction decisions that are targeted to individual learners. They offer their online system (FAST) with both Computer-Adaptive Tests and Curriculum-Based Measurements: a multi-modal, multi-source model that generates data about students'​ strengths and weaknesses and learning growth. They also offer universal screening (3-5 times per school year) to pinpoint skills strengths/weaknesses, provide a predictor of a student's reading and math abilities, and forecast future performance on high-stakes tests.
