master teacher

Highly skilled instructor

A master teacher is an exceptionally skilled educator, usually one who mentors other teachers or leads professional development.

The title often designates a formal role in schools: She was promoted to master teacher after fifteen years in the classroom.

Master teachers typically remain in the classroom rather than moving into administration, using their expertise to improve instruction across a school or district.
