Improving Student Learning with FastBridge Curriculum-Based Measures

Accelerate Student Learning with Curriculum-Based Measures

Illuminate Education offers a comprehensive solution through FastBridge Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM) that provides accurate and actionable progress monitoring data for students. This tool allows educators to deliver targeted support precisely when students need it, helping to accelerate the pace of learning. Unlike universal screening tools or computer adaptive tests (CATs), CBMs are specifically designed for progress monitoring, offering a more sensitive and reliable way to measure growth quickly.

Benefits of Using Curriculum-Based Measures

In the realm of progress monitoring, Curriculum-Based Measures are proven to be more effective than Computer Adaptive Tests (CATs). While CATs may take over 15 minutes to administer and focus on broad skills, CBMs are quick, taking just about a minute, and are highly focused on specific skills. CBMs are also more accurate in measuring even small increments of growth, allowing educators to make data-driven decisions promptly.

Research-Supported Innovations for Faster Results

FastBridge's CBM probes are aligned with Common Core standards and incorporate cutting-edge research on conditional probability. The FAST Projection™ line, powered by a patent-pending algorithm, provides actionable data in half the time compared to conventional systems. This timely feedback enables educators to adjust their instructional strategies promptly, leading to accelerated student learning outcomes.

Variety of CBM Assessments for Different Subjects and Grades

FastBridge offers a range of CBM assessments catering to diverse subjects and grade levels, including reading, math, social-emotional behavior, and more. From assessing phonics, spelling, and vocabulary skills in reading to measuring fluency with arithmetic facts in math, the platform covers a wide array of skills crucial for student development. With optional extensions like CBMcomp and COMPefficiency, educators can gain deeper insights into student performance and tailor interventions accordingly.

Ensuring Validity and Reliability

All curriculum-based measures on FastBridge are backed by rigorous educational research conducted by Dr. Theodore J. Christ and his team at the University of Minnesota. This ensures that the assessments are both valid and reliable, giving educators confidence in the data and insights provided by the platform.

Empowering Educators with Data-Driven Insights

By leveraging FastBridge's Curriculum-Based Measures, educators can access timely and accurate data that empowers them to make informed decisions for each student's learning journey. Whether it's identifying areas of improvement, tracking progress, or tailoring interventions, FastBridge provides the necessary tools to drive positive educational outcomes and help all students reach their learning goals faster.
