Abstract	This article focuses on a method of policy analysis that has evolved from the previous articles in this issue. The first section, "Toward a Theory of Educational Production," identifies concepts from science and achievement production to be incorporated into this policy analysis method. Building on Kuhn's (1970) discussion regarding paradigms, the second section, "Characteristics of an Achievement Production Theory and Model," describes a comprehensive, coherent, and unified theory and a mathematical model of achievement production substantially different from other theories and models. Using sample data, section three, "Example of the Policy Analysis Model," demonstrates the implementation of the model. (Contains 7 figures, 3 tables, and 22 endnotes.) (ERIC).
