Who are We?
National TYCA (Two-Year College Association) is an organization under
the umbrella of the NCTE (National Council of the Teachers of English)
specifically designed for two-year college English teachers. Within
National TYCA, there are seven regional TYCA organizations. Here is
where TYCA NE (Northeast) fits in. It represents and serves the states
of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont,
and Washington, D.C., as well as New Brunswick, Newfoundland and
Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec.
What is our Purpose?
TYCA Northeast works to foster the intellectual and pedagogical growth
of English teachers and administrators in the two-year colleges
throughout the northeast region. Our specific goals include conducting
our annual conference
in the fall
and publishing a newsletter, which
features members' articles, fiction, and poetry.

- explore issues of two-year college teaching

travel or excessive cost and with a more intimate and more pragmatic
