Marginalized Students in Secondary School Settings: 

The Pedagogical and Theoretical Implications of 

 Addressing the Needs of Student Sub-Populations

Journal of Border Educational Research

Special Issue Editor 

Reynaldo Reyes III

The University of Texas at El Paso

            There is an urgency to conduct and disseminate research and successful practices on what is happening in today's secondary school settings - the challenges as well as the successes.   A great deal of research has focused on broadly classifying student populations according to class, race and ethnicity, which has resulted in valuable knowledge.  However, if we are truly to "leave no child behind" in our educational reform efforts, subpopulations of student communities within those particular racial and ethnic categories, and the schools and teachers that work with them, also need to be closely examined.  In this issue, I aim to explore the various pedagogical, social, cultural, historical, political, and linguistic issues that deal explicitly with the teaching and learning of marginalized student populations within and throughout the larger racial and ethnic groups.  More specifically, we encourage authors to submit research and successful practices that highlight students who are English language learners, migrant students, immigrants, students who are gang members and teenage mothers, among other student groups, who have been and continue to be marginalized by our society and schooling systems.
