This instruction is given to students implicitly through artifacts such as grades, testscores, establishment of accepted behaviors, etc. These artifacts are not established solely by theinstructor; they are established by all members of the class. In other words, the nature of smartnesslends itself to co-construction of all members of the classroom, even those who are marginalizedby this definition. Further, since smartness is implicit and done to others, the behaviors andartifacts that constitute smartness are immeasurable, and as both Hatt [5] and Carrillo [22] argue,they
