Welcome to the FastBridge Release Hub
The FastBridge Release Hub is designed to provide you with the most up-to-date information about FastBridge releases. We’re still working on its format and on the information it contains, so please bear with us as we continue to improve the Hub over time.
There are useful tools included below to help you understand and plan for the implementation and use of new functionality as it becomes available.
If you have questions or would like to share your feedback on the Hub, please contact us at fbhubfeedback@illuminateed.net
Recent Releases
Metametrics Lexiles® and Data Downloads
Last month the team wrapped up work to improve the quality and efficacy of some our most popular reports: we added MetaMetrics Lexile(R) measures to our Screening to Intervention (s2i) report and to the aReading Student Data Download to help you understand your students’ reading levels and assign appropriate reading materials. Key data points - assessment grade level and progress monitoring plan start/end dates - were also added to the Student Data Downloads last month.
Student Demographics
For districts using both DnA and FastBridge, additional student demographic data has been added. Using the filters available in FastBridge reports, you can disaggregate and analyze your FastBridge data by common student demographic fields. The additional demographics expand your ability to identify patterns of performance and growth in your screening data for a variety of subpopulations.
SEB Interventions
In January we added interventions and strategies across our Social, Emotional, and Academic Behavior domains that can be applied in Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 settings. These strategies come with instructional guidance for your educators, and when used in conjunction with our behavior screeners, can assist them with classroom management to help your students thrive, which will ultimately accelerates progress toward their academic goals.

This section of the hub will be updated bi-weekly to provide insight into the work we have in progress in the few weeks following the new releases above. Please note that while some of this work is targeted for release, it may also be impacted by other priorities that arise during this period, or it is possible the work may take a little longer to complete than originally planned.
April 2022 - FastBridge Progress Monitoring Update
In progress summary:
- School Year Rollover - We are making a number of improvements to help support this process with additional communications, webinars, office hours and system improvements. System improvements will include support of 3 rollover dates this summer, date selection within FastBridge and efficiencies in the data rollover process.
- Console is a new project that will support a single place to roster and sign-in for all Illuminate products. We are working on changes for future support of FastBridge customers that are using other Illuminate products to leverage this new tool.
