teaching faculty

School's academic personnel

Teaching faculty refers to the instructors and professors at an educational institution, especially a college or university.

The term distinguishes those who teach from administrative staff, researchers, or support personnel: The teaching faculty voted to change the grading policy.

Faculty alone often carries this meaning, but adding teaching emphasizes classroom and instructional roles.
