Physical Educators as Teachers of Literacy
Debra A. Ballinger & Theresa A. Deeney
Abstract:
In the wake of No Child Left Behind, school districts increasingly are being held accountable for demonstrating improved student achievement in English language literacy. This article discusses the current state of literacy in the nation, why physical education teachers need to promote literacy practices, and creative ways that physical education teachers can promote literacy learning within the gymnasium, on the field, or in other physical education environments.
