April 2013
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?
Information
The Home Base student information system will replace NC WISE.
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
Instruction
The Home Base instructional improvement system will have a suite of standards-aligned tools to enable great teaching.
Every user will have one password to enter only one time to access resources and tools.
Home Base will have two key functions:

Home Base is an online tool for teaching and learning.
Educator EffectivenessEvaluation and Professional Development
Instructionaldesign, practice & resources including a Learning Management System
Assessment
Data Analysis and Reporting
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

Instructional Improvement Tools are optional • We believe districts will find value in these tools to improve
instruction
• Districts will have the 2013-14 school year to use all of Home Base cost-free
OpenClassCollaboration
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.
