School Effectiveness Indices are Dallas ISD's value-added measure of the academic performance of a school's students. The SEI model is an alternative to evaluating school performance with absolute measures such as passing rates. SEIs are a fairer method for determining a school's effect on student performance because they take into consideration know factors over which school personnel have no control, such as socio-economic status, language proficiency, and gender.

Computing School and Classroom Effectiveness Indices
Classroom Effectiveness Indices are Dallas ISD's value-added measure of the academic performance of a teacher's students. A CEI is the teacher-level equivalent of the SEI. CEIs measure a student's performance on state and national tests relative to the performance of similar students in the Dallas ISD. A student who outperforms similar students in the district is demonstrating positive growth and will contributes highly to a teacher's CEI. Because they are relative measures, CEIs do not correlate to passing rate, which are absolute measures.
