oh ;) i had an female teacher once doing exactly the same ;)
here in germany, "subject teacher" (in german 'fachlehrer') is an grade you become when you are allowed to teach this subjects. (lowest grade for teachers at all)

Her first day, she came into class and said, "hello, my name is SUBJECT TEACHER 'hername' and i want to be entitled so!"

Did she make the other teachers address her that way too?

In other news, I am going to start calling myself FACHLEHRER MEGAN.

Brilliant! Say that to your engineers.
