He was a member of California Superintendent of Public Instruction’s Environmental Literacy Task Force that wrote the Blueprint for Environmental Sustainability (2015). He serves on the advisory board of Ten Strands that promotes environmental literacy for all of California’s TK-12 students, and on the selection committee for the California Green Ribbon Schools program, which he helped to launch.

He is a board member of the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Chabot Space and Science Center, and UC Berkeley Library. A graduate of Hinsdale High School in Illinois, he holds a B.A. from Yale Cum Laude (1970), an M.A. in American history (1972) and Ph.D. in the history of education from Stanford (1980), and published Schools as Sorters: Lewis M. Terman, Applied Psychology, and the Intelligence Testing Movement, 1890-1930 with NYU Press. His fifty-year career in education has included serving as principal of the K-12 Head-Royce School in Oakland (1984-2010), a founding faculty member of San Francisco University High School (1976-1984), a member of the Reed College admissions staff (1973-76), and teacher at Cubberley High School in Palo Alto (1971-72).
