You have a few options really. In your controller, if you feel you will use
the Teacher model in majority of actions/methods you can add this property:
public $uses = array('Teacher');
If you think you will use the Teacher model several times in a single
action, you can use the following:
$this->loadModel('Teacher');
And as Advantage+ put it, if you only need to use the Teacher model one
single time, it may be better to do the following:
ClassRegistry::init('Teacher')->find('all');
(This is the same as $this->Teacher->find('all'), just a single instance)
Finally there is one other option which hasn't really been discussed which
is to use requestAction from within your view, what this does is it calls a
specified controller action and retrieves the result sending it to your
view, but it isn't always a great idea as* it can **carry some overhead
which may slow down your application*.
*In your Teachers controller*
public function list() {
if(empty($this->request->params['requested'])) {
throw new ForbiddenException(__('You cannot access this method
directly'));
}
return $this->Teacher->find('all');
}
*In any view you want to access the teacher list*
$teachers = $this->requestAction('/teachers/list');

If none of these help, you may have an issue with your model not being
found (which I think may be the issue already, check the filename, model
name, extends etc that this is correct)
