Organizations often need information on various integration points between FastBridge and eduCLIMBER. This FAQ can help answer many of those questions.
Data Questions
FastBridge assessment, screener, and academic progress monitoring data can be automated and data sent nightly. This includes SAEBRS and mySAEBRS screeners. SAEBRS and mySAEBRS data displays in eduCLIMBER similarly to how assessment data displays.
Yes. All score details provided on the FastBridge extracts (student data download) are imported into eduCLIMBER. These details can be viewed for each student. Additionally, a Performance Band can be created for any score detail.
Intervention and Progress Monitoring Questions
- Academic progress monitoring data is automated and is sent from FastBridge to eduCLIMBER via nightly sync.
- Behavior progress monitoring data does not get added to eduCLIMBER. If you want to see behavior progress monitoring data in eduCLIMBER, that information will need to be manually entered into eduCLIMBER.
Does intervention data import into eduCLIMBER?
Not at this time. Intervention data will need to be manually entered into eduCLIMBER to see that data within eduCLIMBER. However, progress monitoring data entered into FastBridge does sync to eduCLIMBER on a nightly basis.
*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.
No. At this time, the goal lines are calculated differently.
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.
Progress monitoring tests are automatically added to eduCLIMBER. However, the current default is "Standardized Test." Therefore, users with the 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.
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.
Benchmarks/Performance Bands Questions
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.
