W. James Popham is a professor emeritus at UCLA who has been studying and writing about curriculum development and assessment for decades. His 2008 book Transformative Assessment clarifies the unique ability of formative assessment to transform education into a more powerful and positive process. It provides step-by-step guidance in how to use formative assessments to improve teaching, learning, classroom climate, teacher professional development, and school performance.
