Common Challenges in HIGHL Schools
Parent Communication
Communicating student progress and practice needs to families is time-consuming.
Our Solution:
Shareable progress reports that clearly show parents what their child needs to practice.
Special Education Integration
Ensuring IEP students make measurable progress on FAST benchmarks.
Our Solution:
Individualized skill paths that align IEP goals with FAST performance targets.
Data Overload
Teachers receive volumes of assessment data but lack tools to translate it into action.
Our Solution:
Simplified dashboard that converts raw FAST scores into specific, actionable IXL assignments.
Summer Learning Loss
Students return from summer break with significant skill regression.
Our Solution:
Diagnostic-driven practice plans that quickly identify and address gaps from learning loss.

FAQs for Highlands County Teachers
How do I export FAST data from the HIGHL portal?
Log into your HIGHL FAST portal, navigate to your class results, and look for the "Export" or "Download CSV" option. The exact location may vary slightly, but it's typically found in the Reports or Results section. Download the file and upload it directly to Fast Action Edu.
Does Fast Action Edu align with HIGHL's curriculum pacing guides?
Yes. IXL recommendations follow Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards, which HIGHL schools follow. The practice aligns with what students are learning in class and what will be tested on upcoming FAST assessments.
Can I use Fast Action Edu for my entire grade level team?
Yes. Many HIGHL schools use Fast Action Edu for grade-level planning. Upload data for multiple classes and generate coordinated IXL assignments for the entire team. The school admin dashboard lets administrators compare proficiency rates across teachers and identify school-wide skill gaps.
What if my school doesn't have IXL?
While Fast Action Edu is optimized for IXL (which most HIGHL schools have), it also provides skill descriptions, standard alignments, small group rosters, and parent conference packets that work independently of any practice platform. The FAST data analysis is valuable regardless of which practice tool you use.
