Abstract

Across the field of Education, in schools and in teacher education programs, professionals are striving to better understand and integrate literacies into their subject areas. There are numerous literacies for consideration. We have new literacies, emergent literacies, transitional literacies, adolescent literacies, family literacies, cultural literacies, in-school and out-of-school literacies, traditional print literacies, and multimedia literacies. In this book, we explore movement literacies, embodied literacies, physical literacies, somatic literacies, athletic literacies, artistic literacies, multimedia literacies and disciplinary literacies. Against this backdrop, many dance and physical education teachers still wonder why literacy would be part of their instruction at all. This book helps to clarify the roles and uses of multiple literacies for these teachers. It is a compendium of intellectual thought and practical guidance for current and preservice teachers alike. The book supports the need for future dance and physical education teachers to enter the profession with clarity about their role in meeting school literacy agendas and with confidence in meeting their subject area commitments. We also believe the book will provide valuable insights regarding movement-related literacies for all subject area teachers and school administrators, as well as coaches and athletic directors.
