About the authors

James "Jim" Popham (1930–2025) was Emeritus Professor in the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies. At UCLA he won several distinguished teaching awards, and in January 2000, he was recognized by UCLA Today as one of UCLA's top 20 professors of the 20th century.

Popham was a former president of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) and the founding editor of Educational Evaluation and Policy Analysis, an AERA quarterly journal.

He spent most of his career as a teacher and was the author of more than 90 books, 250 journal articles, 50 research reports, and nearly 200 papers presented before research societies. His contributions to education spanned decades, shaping how we think about student assessment and educational evaluation.
