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.
Why join TYCA Northeast?
TYCA Northeast will provide you with opportunities to
- explore issues of two-year college teaching
- attend an annual conference without long distance travel or excessive cost and with a more intimate and more pragmatic framework than national conferences
- network with colleagues in your region
- receive a newsletter of specific professional interest
