Description
Developing Literacy and the Arts in Schools by Georgina Barton offers a fresh perspective on the complex relationship between arts and literacy in schools. Drawing on interview data from diverse classrooms, this book explores how effective arts practitioners and teachers can foster a deeper understanding of literacy that values distinct arts-literacies. By examining pedagogies and theoretical frameworks, Barton sheds light on the key elements of effective practice related to literacy and the arts. The book highlights themes such as multimodality, diversity, aesthetics, and reflection in relation to the arts and literacy, providing valuable insights for educators seeking to develop a common language that acknowledges these distinct literacies. This book is an essential resource for postgraduate students of Education specialising in arts and literacy, education academics, teacher educators, and classroom and preservice teachers.
