A recent training on FastBridge was held at NESC for regional leaders and teachers. FastBridge is an MDE-approved literacy screening program for grades K-3. Using a screening program is one of the requirements of the recently approved READ Act in Minnesota. As part of the state of Minnesota COMPASS initiative, this training and more professional development opportunities are planned for the near future. Please contact COMPASS Regional Supervisor Tara Lindstrom at tlindstrom@nescmn.net with any questions.
