primary school teacher
It refers to the teacher who is actually in the classroom as opposed to someone who has a leadership or management post.
I don't think there is another word for it in English.

"Classroom teacher" is another option

Discussion
I did originally think of 'grade school teacher' but probably classroom teacher is best so it covers primary up to high school, right?
"frente al grado" would only be used in primary, not secondary. This is a very important distinction. That's why my first answer included "primary school". So you could have "primary school classroom teacher". This teacher is in charge of a particular grade for the academic year and teaches students all main subjects (language, maths and science). Hope this helps
