Gordon was one of the major architects of the
District’s Academic Transformation Plan that garnered
national recognition for its dramatic approach to top-to-bottom
school reform.
Under his leadership, CMSD has engaged in the
development of a three-tiered academic improvement model that
focuses on both traditional academic achievement strategies and
also on improving the conditions for learning for students and
families. With a commitment to providing high quality education
for urban students, Mr. Gordon implemented a district-wide scope
and sequence curriculum and implemented the CMSD’s conditions
for learning “Humanware” strategy.
Prior to joining the leadership team
at CMSD, Gordon taught in the New Orleans Public Schools and the
Toledo Public Schools and has served as a high school principal
in urban, rural, and suburban school districts. In 2001, he was
recruited to the Columbus area to serve as founding principal
for the rapidly-growing Olentangy Local School District’s second
high school. While at Olentangy, Gordon was appointed to the
position of Executive Director of Secondary Learning, where he
was responsible for curriculum and instruction, special
education services, student data and accountability, supervision
of personnel, and opening of new schools for grades 6-12.
CEO Gordon earned a Bachelor of
Science degree in Secondary Mathematics Education and a Master’s
of Education degree in School Administration at Bowling Green
State University. He and his wife, Dawn, live in the Ohio City
neighborhood of Cleveland with their black Labrador retriever,
“Buddy.” Their children, he says, are the 41,000 kids of the
Cleveland Metropolitan School District.
CEO Eric Gordon will present at The
City Club of Cleveland’s Youth Forum focused on the impact of
school levies for students beginning at 12:30 pm on Wednesday,
October 31st, 2012 at The City Club of Cleveland.
