SPS is unique in its commitment to supporting adjunct faculty as they develop educational practices to advance student learning and engagement. Contact SPS’s Learning and Teaching Nexus (Nexus) to learn about upcoming teaching and technology trainings and workshops at nexus@nyu.edu and/or visit the Nexus website. Please note all faculty are expected to use “Brightspace,” the NYU Learning Management System for their course sites(s), and are expected to be proficient with NYU Zoom (Nexus has ample resources for both). Additional university-wide teaching resources can be found at the NYU Center for Faculty Advancement. See in particular their Support for Teaching and Learning site.
Resources for Inclusive Teaching
Resources for Inclusive Teaching
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) are top priorities for SPS. See the SPS IDBEA website here. To assist with your syllabus and classroom preparation, as well as to further DEI engagement, SPS has an academic/teaching resource for faculty called the Intersectionality Lab (I-Lab). We encourage all faculty to peruse the site and engage the I-Lab team through its opportunities and services (including syllabus consults). NYU has a plethora of DEI events across the entire university. A good place to start is the Office of Global Inclusion.
