Important FastBridge Dates and Resources

As you may recall, Iowa’s Area Education Agencies announced that the AEAs will subsidize costs for districts to upgrade their Iowa Department of Education-provided FastBridge (FAST) subscriptions to include additional functionality in the areas of mathematics and behavior.

As a reminder, the deadline for 2018-19 participation (beginning fall 2018) is June 15, 2018. You can indicate your interest in participating in the fall assessments at this link. Heartland AEA schools that have signed up for the expanded assessment suite can be found at this link. Schools that want to purchase FastBridge for grades 7-12 should email the name of the their district, school, contact person, grade levels requesting to purchase, and student enrollment in those grades to sales@fastbridge.org.
Also, many districts have started preparing for the spring and fall implementation for these assessments by participating in these upcoming webinars. Please be sure to register to participate in these webinars. A recording of each training session will be shared after each session.
