Professional learning available to support your FastBridge implementation

The Kansas State Department of Education has extended its partnership with Renaissance Learning into the 2025-26 school year. Contact your Account Manager for FastBridge pricing through the state contract.  

Many districts have virtual hours they can use to schedule a session from the Professional Learning Catalog. See if this applies to you by watching the recording at the 1:37 time stamp. You do not need to hold the session by Dec. 31, but you do need to schedule it before then so that it does not expire.  

Contact scheduling@renaissance.com for more information and/or schedule sessions here

If you are interested in a FastBridge session below, but are unable to join, use the Newsletter Engagement Form to request additional dates and times using option #5.  

Each FastBridge district can also request an administrator workshop on topics such as onboarding, data reviews and more. Schedule your workshop using the form and select option #6.  

To learn more and to register for professional learning, as well as explore resources to support, visit the Kansas Landing Page.
