Learners feel more confident with their ability to learn and are motivated to engage in the learning process when they:

• Understand the different ways of learning and their unique combination of MI
• Are taught new subjects through various activities and projects
• Are able to show what they know through information gained through assessments

It is important that practitioners understand learners' particular learning preferences and/or MI, but not label them with it. Through this understanding, practitioners can provide opportunities for learners that foster their learning and strengthen their intelligences.⁸⁶
