[Fixed]-Django User Model one-to-one with other model and Forms

You can use a signal to create a Teacher whenever the user completes the registration form. A hint would be the following case, I am creating a UserProfile automatically after the user completes the registration form 

class UserProfile(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, related_name="profile")

    class Meta:
        verbose_name_plural = "User Profiles"

    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.user.username



def create_user_profile(sender, instance, created, **kwargs):
    if created:
        UserProfile.objects.create(user=instance)

post_save.connect(create_user_profile, sender=User)

By using the signal post_save whenever a new user registers, the function create_user_profile will run, and a new profile will be created for that user.

Another way would be creating a form for the Teacher model, and validating both forms, the registration form and the teach form on the same view.
I didn’t want to write the whole code with your case the teacher, but I wanted to give you a hint on how to do it. Hope it helps.
