... its ambitious professional development goal: ensuring that teachers understand the structural details of AAVE so that they can draw on Black students' linguistic proficiency. Attitudes toward the vernacular dialect may well have to be overhauled, and some fairly extensive linguistic training will need to occur. Teachers will need to know how to weave dialect instruction into reading, writing, and oral language development in order to connect it to real communicative functions.

"The Commission was established in recognition of the fact that women, visible minorities, the handicapped and native peoples were being denied the full benefits of employment." Based on the findings of the Abella Commission, the federal government implemented "The Employment Equity Act" in 1986.
