Teaching includes, but is not limited to, classroom and other instruction of students, advising, preparation, mentoring, entering grades, and attendance.
Faculty are expected to teach their classes, be accessible to their students through sufficient consultation hours, and provide grading of student work in a timely fashion. Each class is to be provided with a course syllabus (course schedule, readings, requirements for research papers, a timetable for examinations, the method and criteria for grading) and the means by which students can contact the faculty member outside the classroom.
Faculty are expected to teach courses that have been assigned to them by the Department Chair on the basis of program and course learning outcomes. It is very important that students receive the instruction to which they are entitled.
Your teaching responsibilities include timely reporting of grades to the school. Failure to deliver grades on time may lead to a reduction of courses in the future.
Please note if you are hourly faculty (non-salaried) your contract for the semester will list how much prep and grading time you get for the classes you will be teaching.
Additionally, all salaried faculty are expected to engage in NYFA service hours. Service hours may be in the form of Curricular review, assessment, thesis committees, DEI Council, advising student clubs, serving as a Team Leader, faculty senate, etc. These hours are in addition to faculty’s teaching, prep, grading and consultation/office hours.
While all faculty are welcome to take on these duties, they are required for salaried faculty and may be required for other faculty as per their contract. Our employment classification denotes how many hours are expected. Please view Appendix B for a breakdown per campus.
