The Faculty Professional Development Network at The New School is committed to supporting faculty success in teaching, research and creative practice, leadership and service. Hosted by the Provost's Office and providing services to full-time and part-time faculty university-wide, the Network offers workshops on a variety of topics, provides online resources, and creates formal and informal opportunities for faculty to connect with each other for mutual support and personal and professional growth while ensuring consideration of issues of inclusion and social justice.

The Faculty Resource Center is a work space located in the University Center. Meeting rooms can be booked through this calendar.

Welcome to The New School! The Faculty Professional Development Network is committed to help launch your career successfully. Through our New Faculty Support Program, which includes an intensive one-day orientation before the start of the semester and a series of professional development workshops throughout the first year, we work with you to help you make the transition and develop as faculty members at The New School. We've compiled all the information you should need from the moment you sign and return your contract, including information about completing HR paperwork, employment and visa information specific to new international faculty, and information on moving to New York City, including about housing, schools, child care (hiring a babysitter and in-home child care) and living in here, to be sure you take all the steps you need to get to the first day of the semester and beyond successfully.

Faculty, staff, and students who are interested in applying for external funding through the New School to support their research, creative practice, or programs have a number of resources available to them. Institutional grants, cooperative agreements, and contracts are submitted by, awarded to, and administered by The New School (as an eligible 501(c)(3) nonprofit private institution), on behalf of eligible Principal Investigators (PIs) and Project Directors (PDs). Members of the community involved in grants, budget, and research administration follow the procedures outlined here as they develop proposals to external entities and manage their awards across the lifecycle of a sponsored project.

The following resources provide support specifically to part-time faculty. Faculty Focus, providing online resources for teaching in higher education, hosts the Professional Adjunct Podcast. Weekly episodes contain reflections and interviews with educators on current topics along with best practices in higher ed. Subscribe via iTunes or Android. Parsons Part-Time Faculty Guide provides information to support part-time faculty teaching in Parsons programs, but much of the information will be relevant to all part-time faculty in the university. The Delphi Project on the changing faculty and student success was created to support a better understanding of: The factors that led to a majority of faculty being hired off the tenure track; the impact of these circumstances on teaching and learning; and, potential strategies for addressing issues of rising contingency together. In addition to conducting original research on non-tenure-track faculty, they are producing important resources for use by leaders on campuses and among higher education organizations to create a better understanding of non-tenure-track faculty working conditions and the implications for student learning toward promoting change. New Faculty Majority is dedicated to improving the quality of higher education by advancing professional equity and securing academic freedom for all adjunct and contingent faculty. SPACE: Symposium for Part-Time, Adjunct and Contingent Faculty is a conference where part-time, adjunct, and contingent faculty can present their original scholarship in a peer-reviewed, professional setting. SPACE also provides a venue for contingent faculty members to share what they are doing in the classroom and to connect with their contingent colleagues.
