The first step is to map students' interests by asking them how they feel about the subjects being taught, such as whether they enjoy or dislike the subject.

Teachers should not feel discouraged or disappointed. Instead, they should recognize that students may not be passionate about that subject and may have different interests, which could align with other subjects.

'Multiple intelligences' refers to the idea that students have different strengths and aptitudes, meaning they may excel in different areas that are not always reflected in the traditional subjects being taught.

Diagnostic evaluation helps to identify the underlying challenges students face in their learning process, whether these are related to the teaching strategy, social, psychological, or economic issues, so teachers can address them and improve learning outcomes.

Teachers should remain connected with all students, providing support and understanding even if the subject doesn't resonate with them. It’s essential to foster an inclusive and caring environment.
