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 we are enabling great teaching is by putting powerful tools in the hands of teachers and school leaders.
What is Home Base and what does it do?
InformationThe Home Base student information system is PowerSchool.
The system allows educators to collect key data and manage student information in a secure, useful way.
Among other things,
the information component of Home Base is used for:
•Attendance•Scheduling•Grading•Transcripts•Parent and Student Portals
InstructionThe 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:
think: a simpler, better information system
Informational
think: a new standards-aligned tool for instruction, assessment, data analysis and professional development
Instructional
Home Base is an online tool for teaching and learning.

Instructionaldesign, practice & resources including a Learning Management System
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.
