Tides that Connect: A Photo Documentary in Haiku About a Writing Teacher Conference Themed Teaching in a Tidal Space: Navigating the Ebb and Flow of Student Learning

Abstract

Since 1996, the Two-Year College English Association (TYCA) has provided an additional
voice within the National Council of Teachers of English and the Conference on College Composition
and Communication. TYCA coordinates work and conferences in the different regions of the United
States and some Canadian provinces to share resources, address joint concerns, and learn from others
who are teaching introductory writing classes at colleges or universities. As a member and board
member of TYCA Midwest, I have attended many outstanding conferences and have come home with
strategies and pedagogical tools to implement in my writing courses.
