Morphology

teachership = teacher (transparent) = teacher + ship

The suffix '-ship' clearly denotes the state or condition of being a teacher.

Etymology

Teachership comes from teach, meaning 'to show or explain', plus the ending -ship, meaning 'state' or 'position', like in friendship or leadership. So a teachership is the 'position' or job of being a teacher.
