Why does the ProTeach Portfolio online character counter display a count different from my word processing program?
Character counts in word processing programs vary widely based on the software used and elements such as typeface, font size, kerning, margins, etc. To ensure fairness for all candidates, the ProTeach Portfolio online authoring system automatically standardizes all type that is input into the system, guided by a 12-point non-proportional font, standard 1-inch margins and double-spaced line height. The online character counter is a helpful tool that appears onscreen as you type your entries within your private, secure website. It is the only official ProTeach Portfolio character counter for your entries. Keep in mind that the character count guideline per entry is intended to be an outside limit — not a target. The substance of your evidence should be able to be communicated within the maximum character count limit, and you should not assume that a longer entry equals a better entry. If you wish to print your entries for review by a candidate support provider, you can copy and paste you
