As you may or will notice there has been some changes to your Power Teacher Gradebook. This change is a good change and a long time coming. PowerTeacher Pro is web-based and offers many upgrades compared to the old version. One example is a cleaner look and the gradebook and reports. I tried this upgrade out last year for my classes and loved it. There will be some training opportunities and feature overviews in coming institute days, and as report cards get closer I will also offer some learning experiences in house. If you have questions let me know. One question that may be at to top of your mind is if our report card changed with the upgrade?
