Erik Cork is an internationally recognized writing consultant and creator of the lively and highly successful workshop entitled "Rap, Rhythm & Rhyme: Rebuilding The Writing Foundation." He has been invited to present his intoxicatingly instructive and musically motivating literacy seminar for more than 300,000 students, parents and professional educators representing over 250 public institutions and private school organizations in more than than 40 states and six(6) countries.
Mr. Cork is the founder of International Write Now, Inc, as well as the proud mentor of other highly sought-after education entrepreneurs. He was named as a Community Volunteer of The Year by the Fort Bend Independent School District due to the play he wrote entitled, "Feeling Good About Me" casting 1,200 students, teachers, administrators, parents & grandparents from the community - all on stage together. A new cast performed each night. Over 5,000 people attended from all over Houston at the brand new Ronald McNair auditorium built at Willowridge Sr. High to view the colossal, week long production.
Erik Cork is one of the few education consultants alive on planet earth who works directly with entire student populations of a school ALL DAY...by himself...for six straight hours of the full school day - teaching future scholars writing techniques and modeling various teaching strategies for fellow educators. He's like the Energizer Bunny...He just keep going & going & going ... until his transfixed audiences absolutely crave the feel of pen or pencil in their hands.
It is not an uncommon occurrence to have astounded teachers comment to one another how ZERO students asked to go to the restroom during his six hour presentation. They are literally afraid they will miss something hilarious and interactive as they sit on the edge of their seats waiting to see & learn what he will teach next! Mr. Cork only stops for questions and lunch breaks.
