Low Risk: likely to meet grade-level goals. Some Risk: unlikely to meet grade-level goals without supplemental instructional support. High Risk: very unlikely to meet grade-level goals without intensive instructional support These risk indicators can be used to identify supports for individual students.

Scores below the 15th percentile are classified as “high-risk.” Those at or above the 15th and below the 40th percentile are classified as “some-risk;” and those at or above the 40th percentile are “low-risk.” These levels are also consistent with findings from other CBM research.

What does standard deviation measure risk?

Key Takeaways

One of the most common methods of determining the risk an investment poses is standard deviation. Standard deviation helps determine market volatility or the spread of asset prices from their average price. When prices move wildly, standard deviation is high, meaning an investment will be risky.

What is a good deviation score?

Under general normality assumptions, 95% of the scores are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. For example, if the average score of a data set is 250 and the standard deviation is 35 it means that 95% of the scores in this data set fall between 180 and 320.

What does FastBridge measure?

It is intended to enable screening and progress monitoring across four domains (Concepts of Print, Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, and Decoding). It provides domain-specific assessments of these component skills, as well as a general estimate of overall reading achievement.

What does FastBridge aReading assess?

aReading is a computer-administered adaptive screener that measures broad reading ability. Developed for students in grades K–5, it targets concepts of print, phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, and comprehension and aligns with national reading standards.

How much does FastBridge cost?

Is FastBridge evidence based?

FastBridge CBMreading is an evidence-based assessment used to screen and monitor students' progress in reading achievement in the primary grades (1-8). It can be used as a screener on its own or paired with aReading.

Is FastBridge a dyslexia screener?

FastBridge is an approved dyslexia screener—and an approved universal screener for reading—in many states including: Arizona, Mississippi, Missouri, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

What is the score range for FastBridge aReading?

The range of scores possible for aReading is between 350-750.

What does a red flag mean in FastBridge?

A red flag will display next to the student's score on the screening page whenever the score has an unexpected SEM. Based on the student's response pattern with the difficulty level of items, the system was not able to get to a score that accurately reflects the current skill level.

What is the highest aMath FastBridge score?

FastBridge recommends that teachers focus on teaching and supporting students to master the Developing Skills for each of the CCSS categories. The attached Score Guide lists the aMath scores according to bands of 50 points, starting at 145 and ending at 275.

What does college pathway mean in FastBridge?

College Pathway = 85th percentile and above. Low Risk = 40th – 84th percentiles. Some Risk = 15th – 39th percentiles. High Risk = Below the 15th percentile.

Is FastBridge testing important?

FastBridge has multiple benefits, such as: universal screeners given to students three times each year. progress monitoring to more frequently assess student skills. predictive assessments for state assessment achievement.

Is the FastBridge assessment reliable?

FastBridge is a suite of assessment tools used for universal screening and progress monitoring student growth throughout the school year. FastBridge received high levels of reliability and validity as rated by the National Center on Intensive Interventions Technical Review Committee.

Is FastBridge an intervention?

All FastBridge reading interventions are teacher-delivered instruction (TDI). This means that the teacher needs to first access intervention materials through the FastBridge system, and then administer the intervention to the students in a synchronous setting.

How do I prepare for FastBridge assessment?

Are FastBridge assessments timed?

Completion time varies by assessment and not all are timed. aReading is not timed so no timing data are available. CBMreading is timed for 60 seconds in all cases; the earlyReading sub-tests are timed for either 60 seconds or near to that time.

How do I read my FastBridge progress monitoring scores?

Green Square: The PM score is within 10% of the goal line for that week. The student is on track to meet the end-of-year goal. Red Triangle: The score is more than 10% below the goal line. In this case, the score of 112 is 14 words correct per min below the goal line for that week.

What is a bad standard error?

A high standard error shows that sample means are widely spread around the population mean—your sample may not closely represent your population. A low standard error shows that sample means are closely distributed around the population mean—your sample is representative of your population.

Is 5 a high standard deviation?

Any standard deviation value above or equal to 2 can be considered as high. In a normal distribution, there is an empirical assumption that most of the data will be spread-ed around the mean. In other words, whenever you go far away from the mean, the number of data points will decrease.

What is a bad standard deviation?

This means that distributions with a coefficient of variation higher than 1 are considered to be high variance whereas those with a CV lower than 1 are considered to be low-variance. Remember, standard deviations aren't "good" or "bad". They are indicators of how spread out your data is.
