Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) Practice Test

This item tests vocabulary for the teaching staff by subject area. The term for teachers who specialize in the same subject is facultas, which comes from Latin and denotes the body of instructors qualified to teach a particular discipline. It highlights the idea of a teaching group focused on one subject. A Dean is the administrator who oversees a faculty or department, a Rector is the chief administrator of a university, and a Journeyman refers to a skilled worker who has completed an apprenticeship—none of these describe the group of teachers for a single subject.
