Instead, it is approached with the philosophy that a love of Shakespeare is only the beginning of a life of examination and discovery. This is a blog that documents that journey, and tries to have some fun along the way.  The title, I think, has more to do with the author than with the intended audience at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I am involved with a variety of professional activities in the broad field of teacher education. I only occassionally teach Shakespeare, but that&#8217;s where my background and passions lie, and the name Shakespeare Teacher makes sense to those who know me.<\/p>\n<p>The blog will be mostly my opinions and things that I think are interesting.   But really, you may think of the whole blog as interactive.  I&#8217;d like to invite all visitors to the site to leave a comment on any post in the blog, even the older posts.
