Hi DeLoy,
Try setting up a role based on the Teacher archetype and remove the permissions you don't want (I supposed leaving the view grades, reports, etc. permissions intact), but make sure 'View courses without participation' is set to allow.
Then, in the 'Context types where this role may be assigned', tick Category. This then becomes a role you can assign to the category, whereby users with this role can browse the courses without being enrolled.
Go to your desired categories in Manage courses and categories, and assign users to the category role.
Hope this helps,
Andrew
