“There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an
examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the
moment you are born to the moment you die, is a process of learning.”
– JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI

WHAT EDUCATORS ARE SAYING ABOUT HOME BASE...
Sheila Solis is a Content Analyst for Social Studies in the Learning Systems division of NCDPI.
She has this to say about Home Base implementation this year:
“I am delighted that teachers will have a wealth of instructional resources at their fingertips in Home Base. As a teacher
I’d appreciate having quick and easy access to high-quality, standards-aligned resources rather than researching online or
unearthing dusty folders for a creative assignment, new lesson plan or that missing piece to a group project I’m putting
together for my students.”
One Place. One Login. Find It All at Home Base. Home Base will improve public education by:
s )MPROVING TEACHER EFFECTIVENESS WITH TOOLS THAT PROMOTE EFlCIENCY BY CONNECTING GRADE BOOKS LESSONS
