As educators, we know students from all sections of the population who are bright, but do not do well academically (Grade Power Learning, 2018). This is particularly true with students from underrepresented populations or whose parents are not college graduates. Significant reasons for this are because they do not know how to study effectively, how to get organized to study, how to complete assignments beyond the simplest level, and how to comprehend and retain information (Kern, 2008). This occurs across all racial and economic lines. Thus, the problem addressed in this study/paper has been to identify successful study skills that would be effective with diverse subgroups. The objectives of this study were to: (1) Determine study skills that had been used successfully by current teachers in the field across various ages and subgroups; and (2) Increase student learning across subgroups through the identification of successful study skills techniques to help close the achievement gap. This project sought study skills that were successful as identified by actual teachers in the field. Teachers in the Northeast Texas arena were queried via blind survey research to identify techniques they had utilized successfully with their varying subgroups. Those results have been tabulated, analyzed, and presented. This project consists of two groups of Northeast Texas teachers using the same survey (Appendix), but delivered by different methods. The first was an open-ended survey presented by principals at ten different campuses (3 elementary, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools), with superintendent permission, face-to-face in faculty meetings. The same survey was subsequently sent electronically to ten additional campuses (3 elementary, 4 middle schools, and 3 high schools) via Survey Monkey with principal and superintendent permission. Responses were also returned via Survey Monkey. The responses from both surveys were collected and analyzed. Since the survey, as shown in Appendix A, was the same, the only difference was method of delivery.
