I am so thankful for the complete list of differences in dialects. That is so helpful! I also appreciate that Angie provided names of tests and speech samples available as well as ways to obtain an accurate picture of a child that is not represented in normative samples for standardized tests.

There were several points that seemed misleading (i.e. Pointing out that dialect plays a role in increasing the gap from grades k-1-the gap increases with kids with disabilities--with or without dialect differences. Provided stats on race, but then later stated it's about culture, not race.) From personal experience working in inner city school, dialect was consistent, no matter what the race.

Many of the students who attend my school are bilingual and it is difficult, as times, to differentiate between language differences and language disorders. This allowed me to think a little bit more about how best to teach young students of various cultures who may be speaking a dialect that is the result of his/her home life. I also liked the explicit descriptions of code switching vs. code meshing, as I believe that I have been using those terms incorrectly. This was very eye opening for me!

Very information-dense, covering a lot of material with fine distinctions that weren't always completely clear to me. This is the only time in over 20 years I haven't passed a quiz at the end of a CE presentation. To be fair, maybe this was because it's not my area of experience. Interesting topic though. Interesting things to think about.
