Welcome to ALCA! We are an assembly of the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), and we're happy to see you here.
Many of our members are teachers from all levels. We also welcome students, writers, artists, and anyone who wants to share their experiences with education, literature and culture, and the Appalachian region. You do not need to belong to NCTE to join us!
Most of us live and work in the southern mountains of Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and North Carolina, but we are truly a national organization with members from many other states.
We use a print journal, ALCAlines; our annual program at the NCTE convention; and other efforts throughout the year to promote awareness and appreciation of regional issues and rich creative work throughout Appalachia.
