Why is North Carolina developing Home Base?
The central focus of
READY is improving
every student’s
learning ...
…and enabling
and ensuring great
teaching is how
we get there.
One of the ways to enable great
teaching is to put powerful tools in
the hands of teachers and school
leaders.
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.
Information
Instruction
The Home Base
student information
system will replace
NC WISE.
The Home Base instructional improvement
system will have a suite of standardsaligned tools to enable great teaching.
The system will
allow educators to
collect key data and
manage student
information in a
secure, useful way.

Among other things,
Home Base will be
used for:

•
Attendance
Scheduling
Grading
Transcripts
Parent and
Student Portals
Educator Effectiveness
Evaluation and Professional Development
Different users will have different types of
access. For example:
Teachers can search for great lesson plans then
create classroom assessments, crunch the
resulting data to adjust instruction and
communicate progress to parents – all in Home
Base.
Principals can monitor ongoing benchmark
assessment data, compare it to mid-year
observation ratings and then access professional
development to address staff needs – all in Home
Base
Functional Categories – The Basics
Home Base tools are designed to help you manage information and improve instruction.

How will Home Base be rolled out?
• Home Base will be available to districts without costs for the
2013-14 school year.
• Home Base will be phased in with many key functions
available at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.
• 2013-14 year will be a kick-off year; we expect it to take
districts time to learn and apply the resources in Home Base.
During the 2013-2014 kick-off year, districts
will be able to use the optional functions of
Home Base at their own discretion.
By March of 2014, districts will be able to
choose to cost-share for the optional tools
in Home Base in 2014-15 at $4 per student.
