FastBridge & eduCLIMBER: Steps to Create Progress Monitoring & Interventions

  • Updated

This article provides guidance on how to configure Progress Monitoring and Intervention data in FastBridge and eduCLIMBER.

This process requires users to double enter data within FastBridge and eduCLIMBER. Please refer to FastBridge to eduCLIMBER: Single Entry Progress Monitoring & Interventions for using the updated process that allows for single entry.

FastBridge

    • If the assessment is available in more than one language, e indicates English and s indicates Spanish.
  4. Choose the Class.
  5. Select the timer/stopwatch to begin administering the assessment for the specified student.

If a Progress Monitoring Plan needs to be started before a Start Score is collected, it can be added later manually. Take a look at Before Setting Up a Progress Monitoring Plan to learn more.

Create a Progress Monitoring Plan

  2. The most recent screening score appears here. Hover over the score to see the benchmark category.
  3. The start score will be the first point for the goal line on the Progress Monitoring Report. For reference, refer back to Collect a Baseline Score.
  4. The Weekly Gain displays how much growth is required each week to meet the Goal. Select the ext box to update the Weekly Gain.
  5. The Goal is the target score, which is modified based on when the monitoring user has set the progress monitoring to end. Select the Goal text box to update the goal.

When setting goals for learners, align the rate of improvement to the intensity of the intervention. Change either the Weekly Gain or the Goal to reflect the intervention's intensity.
