As an educator, I should always keep my students needs and interests above my own. If students are enjoying a particular piece of literature, I will make sure that we cover more of that type of literature. I should also allow the students to pick a book that they enjoy reading. Students are in school to gain knowledge, and knowledge of all types. If I pushed only one type of literature and never allowed the students to venture out on their own, I would only be harming them in the long run.
All students learn at a different speed and in different ways.
A teacher must always keep in mind the level at which they are teaching. When keeping the students in mind, I must be aware of their strengths and challenges. For example, when teaching Shakespeare, I would not ask an eighth grade class to read analyze Hamlet. I would start them out reading something like Romeo and Juliet. I would spark their interest early, thus causing them to want to read more of Shakespeare.
