anonymous user,
I get the answer - external user cannot be added as a teacher in class team. This is by design.
Can an external user be a teacher in you tenant's class Teams?

Hello , I've not used much of the class Teams template. Someone has created a class Teams in my tenant and have tried to add an external user as a Teacher to the Teams... but on doing this the external user just defaults to 'student'. Is this always the case when trying to add external users as teachers in a class Teams?

As Teams for Education needs school account, we cannot request such tenant. So, it is hard for us to verify this behavior for you now.
I will keep searching the answer. Any update I will share with you as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding.

As you know, we have no Teams for Education environment. So, it is hard for us to verify this scenario for you.
I find an appropriate place to consult question with support engineer of Teams for Education. Here is the link. Please note it needs to log in with your Teams education account . -
