Implementation Plan

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.

Home Base: Key PointsTraining and Support in the Kick-Off Year (2013-2014)

• Local decisionThe decision to opt-in to the instructional improvement elements of Home Base is yours. We want to help you make the best choice for you.

• The advantage of the kick-off yearWe believe you will make the best decision about the instructional and fiscal benefit of this tool if you have it to use without risk in 2013-2014

• Users will lead the wayWe expect some districts, schools and particularly teachers to run out ahead and point the way for others. We will all learn from them.

• Phased in ApproachWe don’t expect you will use all of the tools at once. Instead you’ll have time to test it out and plan accordingly.
