teacher desk

Instructor's work surface

A teacher desk is the desk at the front or side of a classroom where the teacher sits, distinct from student desks.

It's typically larger, often with drawers for storing materials, gradebooks, and personal items.

The teacher desk serves as a workspace and symbolic center of classroom authority: She called students up to her teacher desk one by one.
