ENTERING THE CONVERSATION: CREATING ACTIONABLE KNOWLEDGE

October 8-9, 2010

The National Council of Teachers of English, Two-Year College Association-West invites participation from everyone who desires practical, hands-on ideas for teaching. The theme for the October conference centers on Entering the Conversation: “Creating Actionable Knowledge.”

Each year, the conference will focus on a particular theme. While proposals that address the theme are especially welcome, other proposals will be considered that address relevant topics and issues. Of particular interest are hands-on, active presentations that encourage audience participation and discussion.

The time for all presentations, regardless of format, is 1 hour and 20 minutes. Only one copy of this information need be submitted.

Proposals should be postmarked by August 15, 2010. Send to:

Links to Presentations

On the left, “Past Conferences,” see descriptions and links (to many) of the past TYCA-West conference programs. Also, note that this year I have created a link to some of the presentation papers, handouts, and PowerPoints. I’m sure there are more papers/PowerPoints we could put up. Just think of the archive we could build over the years to illustrate the gret thinking going on at TYCA-West. So…if you haven’t emailed me your presentation yet, please do:

We filled our quota at the hotel!

Thanks to everyone who took time out of your busy schedules to reserve your hotel yesterday: 22 days till TYCA-West!

Make your hotel reservations today!

rchristiansen — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:31:06 +0000

This is a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to make hotel reservations at Chase Suites and get the TYCA discount. Currently we only have 5 reservations in—which leaves us having not fulfilled our requirement of filling 10 rooms. I have already received enough out of state registration forms to know we can easily fill 10 rooms, but apparently very few people have made their hotel reservations yet. Please make your reservations today or tomorrow. And be sure to mention TYCA when you call. If you make your reservations today, let me know so that I can stop panicking about not fulfilling our contract with the hotel. Thanks.
