Sometimes a teacher wants to progress monitor using assessments from a lower grade level because the student is performing below grade-level expectations. The FastBridge system allows educators to do this during the Progress Monitoring setup workflow. Below are instructions for changing the grade level of the probes used in progress monitoring.
Please note that the assessment will need to be enabled for students at that grade level. For example, if an educator wants to progress monitor a second grader using an earlyReading subtest, a District or School Manager will first need to enable earlyReading for use with second graders. If you do not see the assessment needed when setting up a progress monitoring schedule, reach out to a District or School Manager in your setting and ask them to follow the instructions in this article to enable the requested assessment: Add assessments to school.
**Please Note: Once progress monitoring data has been collected, the form level cannot be changed. You will need to release the student and add them back to the group with the correct form level.**
Reading:
To progress monitor off-grade level using a reading assessment, follow the process to set up a new progress monitoring schedule as outlined here. At the bottom of the Monitoring Schedule slideout pane, change the level by clicking on the G#. Then, use the dropdown menu to select the appropriate form level. Gx indicates that the measure only has one level available.
Math:
To progress monitor off-grade level using a math assessment, follow the process to set up a new progress monitoring schedule as outlined here. Near the top of the Monitoring Schedule slideout pane, you will see an option to select a Monitoring Assessment. The following options will appear in the dropdown menu, provided they have all been enabled by a School or District Manager in your setting:

As you can see in the list above, a teacher has the ability to select whichever assessment and level they’d like under the Monitoring Assessment option. If the Teacher or Specialist selects CBMmath CAP, then the level must be selected following the same process as described for reading above and shown in the screenshot below.
