What is Home Base and what
will it do?
Home Base is an
online tool for teaching
and learning.
Every user will
have one
password to enter
only one time to
access resources
and tools.
Why Home Base?
• Improving teacher
effectiveness by providing
tools aligned to NC’s Standard
Course of Study that promote
efficiency by connecting grade
books, lessons, instructional
resources, and assessments
• Ensuring daily parent access
to student grades and
assignments
• Providing time saving tools
that give ongoing data, results,
and recommendations to
teachers and students
Home Base is One Technology
