Drawing on globalization dynamics and the realities of transnational migration, it challenges mainstream fear-driven views and highlights how existing adaptation studies often overlook classroom connections.

Sue Kasunb  \na University of Texas at San Antonio  \nb University of St. Thomas  \nNote  \nThis essay describes the importance of transnationalism in the lives of U.S. immigrant students and their families and how public school educators and researchers have neither adequately recognized nor situated this lifestyle. The authors discuss globalization and what propels transnational movement and argue that existing immigrant adaptation research from the fields of sociology and anthropology focuses on immigration processes extensively without making connections to the classroom. The authors maintain that transnationalism remains largely undertheorized in educational research. Drawing on their experiences as researchers and teachers, the authors provide a glimpse into the lives of these ‘overlooked’ transnational students through a series of vignettes. The essay concludes by addressing the teaching and learning implications of working with transnational students.  \nOften, under the terms and conditions of globalization, immigrant workers and their children make tremendous sacrifices to enter the arena of transnational migration—experiencing major losses and marked transformations. Yet, they do so without any recognition of their valiant efforts to achieve new and noticeably different lives. In 2010 alone, the number of transnational migrants around the globe was estimated to be 214 million (International Organization for Migration [IOM], 2010) . These are individuals and families who, for example, are born in China and move to Spain, or born in Haiti and move to the U.S. The emergence of transnational migration has been propelled by advancements in communication technologies and transportation. The IOM described such migration as one where “geographic space” and “migration space” have shrunk—so much so that nation-states see membership as no longer territory-based. Instead, a new kind of “people-state” relationship is taking root, likely to influence the future course of human mobility significantly.  \nBut even while transnational actors transform migration as we know it, many countries—particularly developed ones—have mismanaged migration for the last quarter century, due to the absence of any well-defined and articulated migration policy (IOM, 2010) . The U.S. does not escape such critique. In the last half decade, the U.S. has seen  \n1 Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Patricia Sánchez, University of Texas at San Antonio, College of Education and Human Development, Department of Bicultural-Bilingual Studies, One UTSA Circle, San Antonio, [TX 78249.](TX 78249.
