Well, first, I would not use the objective case where the nominative  
is required. But, yes, if I were to use that construction, I would use  
"am." And in a case where the objective case is used, I would say, "He  
gave the book to me, who am a teacher" rather than "He gave the book  
to me, who is a teacher." gww
