English term

Core Teachers

English to Spanish Other Education / Pedagogy Una carta a los alumnos
Está en el contexto de una carta a los alumnos. El párrafo dice así:

Attached to this letter you will find a brief introduction letter from the 6th grade Core Teachers welcoming you to your 6th grade year and giving you directions for your first assignment as a 6th grade Junction student.

Si bien el término lo puedo entender como Maestros Principales, pienso que tiene un significado más específico.

¡Gracias desde ya a quien pueda ayudar!

Jessica Noyes Jun 17, 2011:
In my kids' midle school (including Grade 6) the "core" teachers taught math, science, English, and history. "Extras" were foreign language (Grrrr), music, physical education, art, and so forth. Core teachers teamed up together at grade levels in groups of four and collaborated closely, as well as taking on leadership for class activities. The other teachers typically taught at several grade levels and had less influence than the core teachers.

There are plenty of references to support what Jessica says: core teachers are those who teach the core program/core subjects, and I think this will have to be said explicitly in Spanish.

At 6th grade, and especially in Latin America, "teachers" should be "maestros" (y maestras), rather than "profesores". The term "troncales" is used in Argentina, I see, as well as in Spain, but I think probably more at university level. "Materias comunes" seems to be a standard expression for core subjects, with "asignaturas comunes" as an alternative.
Note from asker:
Muchísimas gracias a tí y a la otra persona que respondió, de la cual no aparece el link para contestarle. Ya entendí el término como Profesores de las Materias Académicas (no las especiales). ¡Gracias a ambos!
Peer comment(s):

agree Toni Romero : Yo diría lo mismo. Y también le diría a Patricia que no lo acabó de entender bien, porque académicas lo son todas, de materias, pero comunes o troncales sólo unas cuantas :-)
