Biography

Education

Gordon received his Ed.D. in English Education from Teachers College, Columbia University. His scholarly interests include the teaching of writing and composing processes, genre theory, as well as teacher preparation and the professional education of teachers.

Career

Dr. Erick Gordon is a writer, educator and social entrepreneur. He is founding director of Student Press Initiative at Teachers College, Columbia University and the former director of the New York City Writing Project. He comes from a background in small press publication that later led to classroom teaching, first in Northern California and then New York City. He was a full-time instructor in the Teaching of English Master’s Program at Teachers College, where he also earned his doctorate in English Education.

Prior to attending Teachers College for his master's degree in English Education, Gordon founded the prose and poetry serial Underhouse, in San Francisco’s independent zine scene in the early 1990s. He continued building self-publishing efforts as a teacher at the New York City Lab School, where he built Bag of Bees Press as a way to further the writing efforts of his students. He is now teaching at Credo High School in Rohnert Park, as an English Teacher.

Over the last 25 years, Gordon has worked on student press literacy projects and helped support thousands of young authors into print.

Student Press Initiative

With lessons gained from his work with the NYC Lab School about rhetorical purpose and the importance of the writer’s audience, Gordon founded the Student Press Initiative (SPI), in 2002. SPI is a non-profit, professional development organization that provides resources for teachers to take their students' work public. Some 10,000 students and 1,500 teachers have worked with SPI to publish over 450 books within the last seventeen years.
