Legislation
• SL2013-12 – transition from textbooks to digital materials by 2017 (aligned, effective for all, current)
• SL2013-11, SL2013-226 – SBE to develop and implement DTL standards by July 2017
• Currently considering standards for wireless connectivity, broadband capacity for digital learning environments
Why has North Carolina developed 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 does it do?
Information
The Home Base student information system has replaced NC WISE.
The system allows educators to collect key data and manage student information in a secure, useful way.
Among other things,
Home Base is used for:
• Attendance• Scheduling• Grading• Transcripts• Parent and
Student Portals
Instruction
The Home Base instructional improvement system includes a suite of standards-aligned tools to enable great teaching.
Every user has one password to enter only one time to access resources and tools.
Home Base has two key functions:

Assessment
Data Analysis and Reporting
Different users 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 have had the 2013-14 school year to use all of Home Base cost-free
During the 2013-2014 kick-off year, districts have been able to use the optional functions of Home Base at their own discretion.
Districts and charter schools would have been asked to cost-share for the optional tools in Home Base in 2014-15 at $4 per ADM; however, Pearson has agreed to provide HB without payment this year.
