A survey was developed asking educators to describe their most effective strategies for teaching marginal learners--students who do not succeed academically in the regular classroom. A total of 97 surveys were returned, and the recommended strategies were compiled. The paper begins by describing marginal learners. This is followed by seven teaching strategy sections, focusing on: (1) peer tutoring; (2) individualized assessment; (3) individualized instruction (covering learning styles, teaching styles, individual projects, alternative assignments, adaptive materials, and team teaching); (4) group instructional strategies (direct instruction, hands-on activities, language arts skill development, and homework help); (5) positive reinforcement; (6) use of community resources; and (7) use of different organizational structures such as tutoring, resource rooms, and special programs.
