TRM testing and asssessments

FastBridge Assessment – Authorizer and School Required

TRM will be utilizing FastBridge assessments to check every student’s academic growth during the school year. This helps staff identify which individual students are meeting the academic standards per the child’s grade level (on track) and those children who may need supplemental interventions and instructional support to meet academic goals. Progress monitoring may also be used as an additional resource to set goals for learning growth. By utilizing progress monitoring teachers can quickly and frequently assess the academic performance of each student, get a clear measure of improvement and align Montessori instruction in real time.
10 minutes per subject for grades K-1; 45 minutes per subject for grades 2-8. Results shared at conferences.

The administration of this assessment meets federal and state legislative requirements. It is possible for students who receive special education services, and who meet eligibility requirements, to take an alternative assessment instead – the Minnesota Test of Academic Skills (MTAS)
