Hi. Our district is considering using FastBridge as a PM and screener tool. Does anyone have any comments or insight as far as set-up time, real usage time, concerns or celebrations about how the program moves through different grade levels? Just looking for any user thoughts. Thanks!

We started using it this year at our high school. Our district set up the students by their 2nd period class. Horrible for me who set up as a specialist. I have to look up the students teacher to get to many of the reports. The program is very comprehensive but learning the navigation and how to use it effectively has been an issue, but a lot of the blame falls to the district for poor training. I like that it will screen for the intervention and has interventions linked. I am very tech saavy and find the navigation cumbersome and although it will auto transfer data to EdPlan, the data it transfers doesn't align with goals. For example fluency does not transfer as corrected words per minute, it gives a number of words missed. So a student could have zero errors, but was reading at 85 wpm. I like the student and family report and they have a behavior section. I think with more familiarity with the program, I will like it better. But if you are used time easycbm, you will probably find this less user friendly. Just want a program that interfaces better with edplan.

Does it require a lot of time to set up initially? Is it pretty user-friendly? Do the PM tools let you assess with older children who may still need foundational skill instruction monitored.... Even if the skill may not be in their grade level ( thinking much lower)? Sorry for the questions. Thanks!

Hi SpEd Teachers, is anyone else facing EXTREME staff shortages as a result of state funding? We are not able to meet my students' IEP requirements (not even close) due to not enough paraprofessionals and the district flat out refusing to hire more. I've lost 70+ hrs/week of para hours over the past few years and my students are really suffering. This leaves our district open to lawsuits, but the real problem is the state's education budget. What can we do?? This isn't going to fix itself.
