Do you work in a linguistically diverse educational setting?

Language at Home vs. The classroom

Language is a vital part of education. Thinking back, were there differences (either nuanced or more significant) in the language you used at home growing up versus what you heard and saw at school? Did this disparity have any effect on you?

Now think about your work. Do you work in a linguistically diverse educational setting? How does your school approach linguistic diversity, such as bilingual students or students who use a dialect outside of Standard American English (SAE)?
