FastBridge and eduCLIMBER Integration - FAQ

• All score details (such as national percentile rank, risk level, etc.) provided on the FastBridge extracts (Student Data Download) are imported into eduCLIMBER.
• These details are automatically charted for each student when viewing a specific student's FastBridge data within eduCLIMBER.
• Any score detail can be used to create a Performance Band.
  • This is beneficial when educators want to answer a variety of questions:
    • Example: An educator wants to identify the students who made X growth from one universal screening window to the next.  That educator can then configure a Performance Band using the score detail from the winter assessment called "Growth Score from Fall to Winter."
  • Note that score details change based on the time of year the assessment is taken. Fall to Winter information is present in the winter data. Fall to Spring information is present in the spring data.

Not at this time. Information about the intervention being implemented will need to be manually entered into eduCLIMBER to see that data within eduCLIMBER. However, progress monitoring data collected in FastBridge does sync to eduCLIMBER on a nightly basis.

*It is recommended to skip the step in FastBridge in which educators may optionally provide information about the intervention being implemented. This will help eliminate duplicate steps.

• This resource provides information about the Rates of Improvement between FastBridge and eduCLIMBER. 
• This resource provides information on the similarities and differences between the Progress Monitoring Reports in each system.
• This resource provides information on the eduCLIMBER Trend Line and the FastBridge Projection Line.

No, intervention procedures enabled in or added to FastBridge do not get automatically added to eduCLIMBER as intervention strategies. These will need to be manually added to eduCLIMBER.

*It is recommended to skip the step in FastBridge in which educators may optionally provide information about the intervention being implemented; this eliminates duplicate steps.  As a result, it is recommended that district leadership avoid duplicate steps of adding interventions to both FastBridge and eduCLIMBER; instead, leaders should focus their efforts on ensuring that all available interventions are enabled in eduCLIMBER.

Progress monitoring assessments from FastBridge are automatically added to eduCLIMBER. However, the current default is "Standardized Test." Therefore, users with permission in eduCLIMBER to "Manage Assessment Configuration" will need to access each test used for progress monitoring and change the assessment type to "Standardized + Progress Monitoring." Changing this ensures interventionists are able to select that assessment as the progress monitoring measure for interventions within eduCLIMBER.

*If you do not see the assessment within the assessment list, check to be sure the assessment has been uploaded and validated. 

No, notes that educators record within the FastBridge system when collecting student data from teacher-administered assessments do not currently transfer from FastBridge to eduCLIMBER or from eduCLIMBER to FastBridge.

If progress monitoring data from FastBridge is not flowing into eduCLIMBER, can we get this setup so we can see progress monitoring data from FastBridge in eduCLIMBER?

In most cases, progress monitoring data is automated and flows into eduCLIMBER. If you notice progress monitoring data is not synced from FastBridge to eduCLIMBER, please submit a ticket to eduCLIMBER Support to get this data synced.

No, edits made in the progress monitoring plan/intervention are not currently reflected in both platforms (just the one in which the plan was edited).

*It is recommended to skip the intervention details and intervention schedule steps when setting up progress monitoring plans in FastBridge. This will help eliminate duplicate steps.

To link an existing monitor to an existing intervention, follow the steps below:

1. Access Monitors on the Student Profile.
2. Find the existing progress monitoring probe to link to intervention and select the 3 dot menu.
3. Select Link to Intervention.

The annual FastBridge Benchmark/Performance Band needs to be updated each year for each district. While eduCLIMBER provides the new Performance Bands annually, it is not automatically added to each district. Therefore, someone from the district will need to reach out to our support team or their CSM to get the new FastBridge Performance Band added each year. To learn how to mark each annual Performance Band as the default, please visit the Marking the Annual FastBridge Performance Band as the Default for All School Years article.
