David Tyack (1930 -- ) is the Vida Jacks Professor of Education and Professor of History, Emeritus at the Stanford Graduate School of Education.[1]
Tyack took his undergraduate degree at Harvard, 1952, and his PhD at Harvard, 1958. This dissertation under Bernard Balin dealt with "Gentleman of letters: a study of George Ticknor." He taught at Reed College 1959-66, the University of Illinois 1967-69, and since 1969 at Stanford University. He received awards from the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. He served as president of the History of Education Society, 1970-71.[2] Tyack is best known for his wide-ranging studies and interpretations of the history of American education. After examining late 19th century reform movements in New York, Philadelphia, St. Louis, San Francisco and Chicago, Tyack concludes that, "What the structural reformers wanted to do, then, was to replace a rather mechanical form of public bureaucracy, which was permeated with 'illegitimate' lay influence, with a streamlined 'professional' bureaucracy in which lay control was carefully filtered through a corporate school board.[3]
