What is the English word?
|
|
In some countries there is a teacher assigned for every class , to be in charge of that class. That means, that he/she is dealing with the general administrative tasks related to a class (absences, medical certificates, contact with parents...)
Is there a word in English to identify this teacher? |

Form tutor. It is �form tutor� in England.

If you teach US English you should definitely use homeroom teacher. |

In China, the English word is Head Teacher and is even expected to make home visits twice a semester. |

I �m used to �Home Room Teacher �, too. The students have their �home room �, hence the �Home Room Teacher! � I �m used to the �Head Teacher � being in charge of all the teachers,�rather than being in charge of one class/classroom.� � Cheers, AB�
Here�s an interesting & informative link re the idea of �Home Rooms� from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeroom |

In the UK, "registration teacher" can also be used, but "form tutor" is the most common phrasing. |
