Hi Everyone,
This message is for members who are attending the NCTE Convention in Boston this week. TYCA has organized three events:
Saturday, November 23 from 8:15 to 9:30: TYCA Leadership Retreat (Paine Weston Boston Seaport Lobby Level). This strategic planning meeting is for current EC members, past TYCA Chairs, regional leaders, new seminar facilitators, national committee chairs, and new network leaders. If you have any kind of leadership position within TYCA or a regional affiliate, please join the retreat.
Saturday, November 23 from 1:15 to 2:30: TYCA Member Networking Event (Stone, Westin Boston Seaport Lobby Level). This meeting is for anyone who is interested in getting involved in TYCA. Graduate students, faculty at four-year institutions, and concurrent enrollment high school teachers are welcome to attend.
Saturday, November 23 from 2:45 to 5:30–TYCA/NCTE College Section Concurrent Enrollment and Dual Credit Workshop (Room 156 A, Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, Meeting Level 1). This workshop will focus on strategies for supporting students and instructors in dual enrollment programs. Attendees will begin to work on recommendations for changes to national position statements and TYCA/NCTE resources to support instructors who teach high school students in college credit English courses at high schools, on college campuses, and online.
I also encourage you to attend the College Section gathering on Thursday evening. There are also several breakout sessions organized by community college faculty. If you have questions, you can contact me at joanne.giordano.
