Steve Jordan is a full-time teacher and a some-time writer. He has taught in rural Illinois, South America, the suburbs of Chicago, and East Africa. He completed his undergraduate work at the University of Illinois before getting a master’s in creative writing at Northwestern and a master’s in education at Harvard. 

Steve currently teaches at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, Massachusetts.  He is quick to say that CRLS is one of the most diverse schools of the country and boasts e.e. cummings as one of its graduates, before someone else chimes in to say it’s also Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's alma mater.
