Bienvenidos, Herzlich Welkommen, Welcome to Mrs. Lassen's ELD Wikispace!   This is a Staff and Faculty Development Wiki designed to give the McMurray Faculty, Staff, Community Members, and Parents insight to the English Language Development Department here at McMurray Middle School.  This Wiki will provide information on: education legislation regarding ELL students and education, the second language acquisition process, methods to meet the needs of English language learners in the regular classroom, and parent and community resources. "Visiting…condemnation on the head of an infant is illogical and unjust. Moreover, imposing disabilities on the …child is contrary to the basic concepts of out system that legal burdens should bear some relationship to individual responsibility or wrongdoing. Obviously, no child is responsible for his (her) birth and penalizing the …child is an ineffectual – as well as unjust – way of deterring the parent." **-- U.S. Supreme Court, 1982,** **__Plyler vs. Doe__** Mrs. Lassen in Tulum, Mexico.
