Note
An ordinary -s plural, with nothing irregular to learn. The agent noun underneath is built from the verb instruct with the Latinate suffix -or, so the spelling is -ors, never -ers. The plural possessive puts the apostrophe after the s, as in the instructors' lounge or both instructors' signatures, while a single teacher's belongings take instructor's.
