The New York Film Academy’s Center for Excellence in Teaching in Learning is a resource and support center dedicated to developing, assisting, and building community amongst our faculty. The following services are offered to enhance our instructors' teaching experience:
Each semester, CETL schedules workshops to aid in your development as teachers and industry professionals. Past workshops have included:
CETL recognizes that personal development is just as important as professional development. We have put together workshops on stress management, meditation, and even hiking excursions to serve as a release from our daily routines.
Every fall, CETL will hold a two-semester long FLC, where a select group of instructors will gather to learn and grow together through research, trial and error, and excursions to conferences and panels. Throughout the course of the two semesters, members of the FLC will also present their findings to their peers through various workshops. Finally, while learning and development is key, so is community building. In bringing together faculty from different NYFA departments, it is hoped that bonds and bridges will be created that did not previously exist.
CETL is always available to meet with you to assist in any of your needs. Whether you have logistical questions about campus or need advice on navigating a difficult classroom situation, CETL is here to help. Contact us to set up a time to talk. It is CETL’s goal to offer a safe and welcoming space for instructors to be open and honest about any obstacles they encounter. That said, all CETL conversations are private and confidential.
Please contact CETL at any time at LA.CETL@NYFA.EDU with any questions, thoughts, suggestions, or to schedule an appointment.
CETL is committed to working with faculty at all stages of their careers. Understanding the fundamentals of teaching allows instructors to share their industry-leading knowledge and experience in an inclusive manner that resonates with NYFA’s diverse student body. The landscape of education is constantly changing, so CETL collaborates with other NYFA offices such as DEI and Student Life to promote effective pedagogy and relevant initiatives.
Faculty and staff are strongly encouraged to contribute their ideas by suggesting professional development opportunities and by sharing their own expertise through cross-campus workshops. Identifying the common threads that bind the visual and performing arts departments demonstrates the value of community at the New York Film Academy.
The New York Film Academy is a unique school, with a diverse student body and a faculty made up of working professionals. These two elements combine to create something exciting and an opportunity for all of us to do something wonderful.
But this brings with it specific challenges. And that’s where the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning comes in. We want to provide our entire faculty with as much assistance as we can. Your job is to bring your vast knowledge and experience to our students. Our job will be helping you do so in a way that ensures those students get the most from your knowledge.
The resources on this site, and the Center itself, are at your disposal as we all work together to build a new generation of diverse, ambitious, and talented young artists.
