Nope, no equivalent to "sibling" at all, not even plural. If you want to say "siblings", you say "братья и сёстры".

edit: "родня" might be kinda like "rodzeństwo", but it's not just siblings, it's relatives in general.

"Учительница" (or short slang form "училка") is the correct feminine form found in dictionaries. "Учителька" is the cringy one coined by feminists. They both mean "female teacher", but apparently the correct one is somehow worse or not modern enough? I don't know.
