The teacher should take care of the below points:

• As per the need of the students, the teaching method can vary.
• Generally confused with discrimination, ability grouping is a measure in which students of similar traits are grouped so that the teacher can choose a compatible teaching method.
• Keeping in mind the child-centered education as proposed by the NCF, adjusting the curriculum is no exception because it is the child who has the freedom to choose what he wants to learn.
• The pace of learning should not be a matter of concern for a teacher as every child has his pace and more than results, the attempt to learn is important.

It should be noted that, though self-study improves knowledge, it should not be done simultaneously when the teacher’s responsibility is to teach children.
So, we conclude that for a teacher, leaving children for self-study is not recommended

The error lies in the usage of the adjective rich instead of the adverb richly.
An Adverb is a word that describes, modifies, or gives more information about a verb, adjective, adverb, or phrase.
Example: She smiled cheerfully.
The word green refers to the color of the grass.
In the given sentence, the word green is used as an adjective, and rich is also used as an adjective, which is grammatically wrong. 
Here, the adverb richly should be used to modify the adjective green as how much green the grass is. 
So, the correct sentence is: The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; the flowers were blossoming profusely, and the grass was richly green.
