The copy is created on the stack, so it's not "cast." Abilities that trigger when a player casts a spell won't trigger.

2024-11-08wotc

After Teach by Example resolves, the next instant or sorcery spell you cast that turn will be copied whether or not it has targets.

2024-11-08wotc

If the copied spell divides damage or distributes counters among a number of targets, the division and number of targets can't be changed. If you choose new targets, you must choose the same number of targets.
