The screen image below is a clip of the main grade book screen from a mix of traditional and standards. It is a Windows screen, but the Mac OS looks and operates just like this. The students are sorted by last name in this example.   The standards-based indicators shown are typical of what many districts are using.   At the top of the column you see the word Latest which means this teacher has chosen to have PGGP use the last assessment for any standards assessed more than once.  (Mean would indicate that each standard assessed more than once is being averaged.)   Next to the standard-based grade is a traditional grade.  You could also choose to have E, O, S, and N type grades mixed with standards.   Of course you can choose to not use any standards-based grading or only standards-based grading.  PGGP is flexible.  Each column to the right of the grades contains the grade for each student in an assignment or assessment.   Notice that the traditionaly grades are percentage grades and the rubric scored grades are using a 5 point scale.   You could also enter the rubric scored grade as 80s and 90s if that is what your district requires.
