She's both.
She probably has jam sessions with cadets in her home, where they share poetry and talk about the political issues of today. She is not also part of Starfleet. I would bet good money that Giamatti is the head Starfleet Admiral at the Academy and he wants to make Starfleet more military like and thus he becomes the bad guy. I think he is playing a alien so in essence a alien Jelico that has no time for peace and exploration talk. Not when the Breen or whoever the main baddies are out their doing stuff.
It'll just be that Discovery corridor, repainted. All of it.
Yeah, I'm guessing not as serialised as Discovery but not as episodic as Strange New Worlds. A happy medium with mini-arcs, or two or three-parters.
So, ENT season 4.
If that is the case, it's probably a 'best of both worlds' solution, particularly since season long arcs have proven to be a weak point in the current era.

My guess is some stories will be set on Earth at the Academy and other on a ship the cadets are on. Maybe the Terran Enterprise so they can use those standing sets again. Granted DS9 sort of did this already once it got the Defiant but it could be that, what is different is you got two different storylines going on that aren't connected until maybe the season final.
For example we could see in the first episode that Captain Giamatti is going to take some cadets on a training mission. Meanwhile Chancellor Holly Hunter will be dealing with some cadets on earth. Tilly could be used during some of the earth stuff while Reno is Chief Engineer of the Enterprise and is part of that story. Vance could be on either setting because if he is at Starfleet headquarters he wouldn't likely be living on Earth since that is not where HQ is located anymore The Doctor, due to his nature could be in all the settings.
I'm assuming Reno and the Doctor are instructors. Any ship based stories will be on a training ship and they and other instructors will be onboard to teach the cadets.
I suppose the name of the training ship could be a legacy designation. Probably not Enterprise or Voyager. Maybe Defiant?

I could see the Doctor being that but Reno would be a terrible instructor. Most of her tech knowledge is thousands of years out of date and frankly she just doesn't strike me as a good teacher. She has to much of a loner, play by my own rules vibe to her. I see her still wanting to be out their on a ship solving engineering problems. Not cooped up in a classroom.
Well, Tig is on the show so chances are Reno is a teacher. Her tech knowledge must be up to date as the Discovery was upgraded to 32nd Century specs. I think most people have encountered teachers as acerbic, snarky and sarcastic as Reno. Especially at the collegiate level.
I had a small hope that it would be the ISS Enterprise, especially if they only need it now and then.
Save money with the SNW sets.
Even though it is a show about the Academy I don't think that means for sure ever adult character has to be a teacher. I was thinking of DS9 episode "Valiant." From what I understand that ship had a senior crew making up the command staff of the ship. Red Squad cadets only took over after they all died. Also that was sort of same with Spock being captain of the Enterprise in "Wrath of Khan." Granted it is weird how Sulu and Uhura etc would still be serving on a ship being used for a training crews but I do see the logic of your senior staff still being experienced officers.
While cadets make up the support crew. In away these senior officers could sort of be seen as teachers I suppose but at the same time I think their main duty would still at making sure the ship is running smoothly. Plus if they do go with the old Enterprise I could see them seeing some logic in going with some who has previous engineering experience of serving on a old 23rd century ship that has been upgraded with modern tech. Not to mention as a training ship is possible they want ships that are not to advanced because they are cadets they don't want them serving on a ship that is to advanced for them to handle just yet, due to their age.
I think the implication in TWOK was the Enterprise crew were serving as instructors. Spock definitely was.
There are still such training courses: https://www.usna.edu/Sailing/bst/index.phpI gather we train naval cadets on sailing ships for that same reason.
