Doctrinal classes should be taught by those who are educated in Doctrine. Those educated in Doctrine would be the Pastors, correct? Those who are "called" by the church?
We all have a teaching role, of course. But in a public teaching of the church, this should be done by the Pastor.

It is not that we are trying to burden the Pastors, rather we are trying to appropriately shepherd the flock.

In Reformed Theology there is the "teaching elder", correct?

Nope those educated in doctrine are not necessarily "pastors" for we know what scripture teaches:
Quote
And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
(Eph 4:11-14 ESV)

So you see pastors and teachers are seperate callings although some may have both gifts. So the church is to make use of those with the teaching gifts and use them to teach the men of the church.
