First, are you using the first part of the book or the second. I've never used the Drucker edition, only the old Fischer edition, which was actually divided into two volumes.

For students, I mostly use the material in the Daily Studies (in the old Fischer Volume 2). - the major and minor scales, arpeggios and scales in thirds. I think there's newer, more musically interesting study material available for technical work.

For students, obviously, correct rhythm is important followed by accurate notes. I never set tempo goals as such. The tempo the student reaches should be (a) musical and (b) one at which he/she can maintain rhythmic and fingering accuracy with fluency. That's different for different students. I tend to have a student move on when the result of continuing practicing stops producing improvement. If it never becomes fluent at any tempo, I've made a poor choice of material.

The diatonic scales, thirds and arpeggios.
