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

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.
