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
