 Addressing the Needs of Student Sub-Populations

            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.
