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.

In 1968, Popham established IOX Assessment Associates, a research and development group that created statewide student achievement tests for a dozen states.
