Standard English

Is "standard" in "Standard English" supposed to be capitalized? For example, "This is the best method the teacher can use to correct student's Non-Standard English dialect in class."
Also, would "non" be capitalized?

If this context refers to multiple students, wouldn't the apostrophe go after the s?
