Abstract

This paper presents a description of a procedure for identifying educational goal areas to be emphasized in elementary schools; it produces an index number for each goal area that approximates the incremental increase in the decision-maker's utility function arising from emphasizing it. This utility function is defined on performance measures for a group of students. The procedure has been simplified to the extent that elementary school principals can be expected to perform the required computations without assistance.
