DESCRIPTION:Deliberate attempts to enhance intelligence have met with veri
 fiable\, though usually moderate\, success. The summary point is this: Int
 elligence is modifiable in response to experience. It seems likely\, then\
 , that intelligence could be enhanced more effectively if this goal were p
 art of the explicit mission of education. Such a goal\, combined with adva
 ncing theories of intelligence\, could help to shape the design of educati
 onal experience both in schools and outside of school settings. Over time\
 , intelligence could be cultivated more deliberately and equitably. Could 
 this be one way to advance the two cherished educational goals - so often 
 set in opposition and undermined - of excellence and equity?\n\n
