Thank you Nancy Young for creating this wonderful infographic! Informative, ACCURATE, easily interpreted and engaging!

Your infographics (the old and the new) create a type of instantaneous psychological relief for teachers. Most of us teacher folk are committed to ALL our students. Nature and its marvelous diversity of abilities can make teachers feel like instruction for all will make us lose our minds.
Your infographic rapidly helps teachers feel that all the joys AND frustrations of our daily, teaching lives can be captured on one page; can be comprehended. Between the ever-changing schedules, continuous interruptions and life events of our students, our families and ourselves–
at least we have a literacy map to anchor our purpose. What a psychological relief!
