La Fira va demostrar que molts fenòmens físics reals són tant o més sorprenents que els trucs de màgia. El ***catedràtic de secundària*** Adolf Cortel, autor d'una dotzena de llibres i més de cinquanta articles sobre demostracions al laboratori de fenòmens de la física, mostrava sense descans com, fent vibrar amb un arc de viola una simple làmina metàl·lica amb una mica de sorra escampada per la seva superfície, es pot desvetllar la bellesa de les ones estacionàries, autèntiques obres d'art.
We don't have professor at school/sixth form in the English-speaking world do we? Would this be the equivalent of a Deputy Head or Head of Department? Does anyone know what special functions/responsibilities a "catedràtic" has in a Spanish school?

Your gut feeling was more on the money Tim. My wife, who is a secondary teacher, says to get this title you need to do "oppos", to have been a director at a school and to have published articles and have written a thesis.
Doesn't help you much though, since we have no equivalent post in the British or American systems. I would fudge it with "Senior Teacher" or some such.
Hope this is still of use to you.
Cheers,
Berni

Catedràtic is used for state schools in Spain, where teachers have to go through public examinations (oposiciones) in order to get a position in a secondary school. Once they "own", as it were, their "cátedra" they have it for life. They are civil servants employed by the government, not the individual schools. The system is very different in the UK, as schools advertise on the press and appoint whoever they want.
So a "catedràtic" is simply a teacher, and in the example you give a "secondary school teacher".
Hope this is helpful, Tim.
