James McBride
James McBride is a Senior Research Associate in the Division of Physical Sciences at the University of Chicago, where he is Co-Director of the Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education (CEMSE). Within CEMSE, McBride is director of sampling and statistical analysis for all survey research, including implementation studies, teacher surveys, and studies of student achievement. And for the past fourteen years, he has been a principal author for all three editions of the Everyday Mathematics (EM) program.
From 1980 to 1992, McBride was Senior Research Director and Senior Mathematical Statistician at Response Analysis Corporation. His work focused on the areas of sample design, estimation procedures, modeling, imputation, and statistical analysis. Assignments covered the gamut of survey research applications for both complex national surveys and smaller, special population surveys. He is experienced in directing the data collection and budget monitoring activities associated with national population surveys.
From 1975 to 1980, McBride was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Statistics at Princeton University. He directed the undergraduate program in statistics, and taught graduate and undergraduate courses in inference, probability, multivariate analysis, experimental design, demography, time series, econometrics, statistical computing and simulation, and exploratory data analysis. He taught courses at the Woodrow Wilson School of Princeton University and the University of Chicago, and has been a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Cornell University. He holds a grades 6-12 teaching certificate and a B.S. in mathematics and physics, an MAT in mathematics, and a PhD in Statistics, all from the University of Chicago.
