Abstract	This paper explores educational productivity in Texas as it relates to the development of an educational productivity model based on information in the Accountability System of the Texas Education Agency. A number of educational inputs were identified that were found to be related to specific educational outputs. Stepwise regression analysis was used to develop an educational model relating independent variables to dependent variables. Initial results suggested that a richer dataset might be needed to develop a robust model. Data from the Texas Academic Excellence Indicator System (AEIS), which included achievement test scores, were then used to develop revised models. Results of these analyses produced models that were slightly improved over the preliminary models, although it was still difficult to explain much of the variance in student performance outputs from available AEIS educational inputs. In fact, the best educational productivity models that could be derived were those based on graduates and graduates with advanced seals. Appendix 1 contains a bibliography of 20 resources used to prepare this report. Appendix 2 lists the AEIS variables considered. (Contains five tables and nine references.) (SLD)
