The children refer to the teacher with the letter T and Their name. So for example, if Their name is Barbara, the kids refer to Them as T.B. or Teacher Barb. The kids don't use those pronouns in the same way the adults use them.
It's easier for me to refer to Them as "T.B." rather than They or Them, mainly so I don't make a mistake and sound disrespectful because my brain automatically thinks then says She or Her.
FWIW, Binary means that the person doesn't identify as a Male or Female, hence They, Them, et al.
