German term or phrase: Lehrerkürzel
From a school administration software:

"Die Konsole enthält Angaben wie Klasse, Name, Vorname des Schülers und das Kürzel des Lehrers."
"Bei Lehrer geben Sie den Lehrerkürzel des Lehrers ein, welcher diesen Kurs unterrichtet."

It is not 'initials', because it does not use the first letter of each word of a person's full name, but rather uses 2, 3 or 4 letters to give a unique identifier to a teacher, for example:

Artur Schmid sar
Hans Schmid shs

or

TDE=Tiedemann
TEI=Teigeler

What is the term used in English/American schools?

Thanks in advance!
