A master teacher is a teacher who has taught for a number of years and completed district requirements to be considered a master teacher (usually attending a number of hours of additional training in their field and achieving good results with their students consistently over time).
Every district has it's own requirements for master teacher status.

In my district where I taught for many years, a Master Teacher was one who had applied for that status through the state, and then underwent an extensive self evaluation, and an evaluation by the principal, department head, and superintendent. Each used a set of objective criteria developed by the district and approved by the state. It was a process that proved quite successful, and it carried with it status and increased remuneration to the tune of $3000. To remain a Master Teacher the individual had to undergo an annual evaluation and another extensive evaluation every five years.
Chow!!

I agree with just hangin. A master teacher is someone who meets specific qualifications. It is usually defined by the state dept of education or district.

Probably trying to butter you up to get you on another committee or some such thing. Can't compliment you with pay, so why not words?
