Teacher's best bit of work? (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

masterpiece

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'work?' is the definition.
(masterpiece is a kind of work)

'teacher's best bit' is the wordplay.
'teacher' becomes 'master' (I've seen this before).
'best bit' becomes 'piece' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'best' bit.).
'master'+'piece'='MASTERPIECE'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for masterpiece that I've seen before include "Chef d'oeuvre" , "Superb work of art" , "Work of extreme skill" , "Outstanding artwork" , "Great work" .)
