The R.E.A.D Model
R.E.A.D.
One major characteristic I like about the model is that it is so diverse. It shows that critical thinking played a major role in developing this model so that it could cover every aspect of the teaching methods of a professional. I believe that any individual can be taught, this has been one of my philosophies for a long time. A student will give the teacher what the teacher gives him/her. That’s why this model is so important because it shows the care that a teacher has for guiding a student to his best efforts. That means that a teacher can take this model and even evaluate themselves, which is just as important as teaching itself. A teacher must know first their capabilities before they can teach another student. It is impossible to set goals and ideas that haven’t been accomplished by the person himself. That proves that he or she did not follow the rules of the R.E.A.D. In fact, the model can be used to evaluate a person’s frame of mind as well. Based on the assignments given to the students, what will they produce with the information given? The model suggest that a teacher or student should be able to create diamonds out of coal, in other words “lemonade out of lemons.” But in order to do this the model has to be enforced based on the principles of his/her own philosophy. The writer of the model showed that his philosophy was to “teach” and not just to “show.” The difference is that showing a person gives him the opportunity to create the situation needed to perform a certain act, on the other hand, teaching involves self-examination of student and teacher. This provision shows that the model can infact grasp the personal views of a teacher and at the same time make a valuable contribution to ones own specific style of method teaching. I believe that you cant make a person do something that they don’t want to do, there are certain boundaries are teacher can not cross, but a confident teacher will use the R.E.A.D
