Recognizing all American English dialects as rule-governed linguistic systems.  \n• 2. Understanding the rules and linguistic features of American English dialect(s) represented by their clientele.  \n• 3. Being familiar with nondiscriminatory testing and dynamic assessment procedures, such as the following:  \n􀁸 identifying potential sources of test bias,  \n􀁸 administering and scoring standardized tests in alternative manners,  \n􀁸 using observation and nontraditional interview and language sampling techniques, and  \n􀁸 analyzing test results in light of existing information regarding dialect use.  \n\"No dialectal variety of English is a disorder or a pathological form of English.\"  \nIntroduction to Appalachia  \n• How many speak Appalachian English? Millions of residents of the mountainous regions of Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, and West Virginia.  \n• What stereotypes do we have about this region?  \n􀁸 Housing  \n􀁸 Schooling  \n􀁸 Employment  \n􀁸 Medicine  \n􀁸 Money  \nAppalachia Quick Facts  \n• Population of the region: 25,717,174 (2019)  \n• Average age: 41.3 years old.  \n• 88.9% of Appalachian adults ages 25-64 have earned a high school diploma, while 26.2% hold a bachelor’s degree (U.S. average is 32.1%)  \n• 95.6% of Appalachia’s labor force is employed. This is equal to the U.S. rate.  \n• Appalachia’s median household income is $51,916, which is 82.6% of the  \nU.S. figure.  \n• 86.1% of Appalachian households have access to a computer, smartphone, or other device, while only 77.8% of Appalachian households have a broadband subscription.
