      • Although both are technically correct, “Teachers’ Room” is the preferred spelling.
      • In British English, the plural form is “Teacher’s Rooms”, while in American English, the plural form is “Teachers’ Rooms”.

      Teachers’ room is the correct form. Teachers’ room is what you get when you join ‘teacher’ with ‘s’ as in ‘Smith’s’ or ‘Jones’s’, without adding ‘s’ to teachers. Teachers’ room in the classroom, is the place where they keep the register, the clock, the black-board, and the slates.

      Teachers’ room in the grammar school is used for the same purpose, and is sometimes called the school-room.

      In a public school there is no teachers’ room, as the teachers are generally permitted to eat in the school-room, where they keep their books, and write out their reports.
      In a private school, there is always a teachers’ room
