Wyoming Conference Resolution
Description
In 1987, the NCTE articulated 10 professional standards regarding English faculty workload; writing class caps for basic and regular courses; literature and language class caps; total student load per term (note advisees); tutoring, writing lab, administrative, professional and scholarly work and reassignment time; and number of preps per term. A selected bibliography attesting to the “richness and complexity of the issues in the teaching of English” followed the guidelines. The guidelines were co-authored / endorsed by 11 CE College Section affiliates. Guideline highlights are as follows:
- 12-hour weekly maximum in-class hours
- 20-student individual writing class cap; 60-student term maximum
- 15-student basic writing individual class cap; 45-student maximum
- 25-student literature and language individual class cap
- 3-prep per term maximum
