The teaching portfolio (Seldin, 2004) has gained increasing acceptance beyond the United States as a means of documenting college teaching performance. For examples, see Tenhula (1993; Finland), the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (2002; Ireland), and Cosser (2002; South Africa). Hutchings and Schulman (1999) added "learning" to the phrase "teaching portfolio" to emphasize the outcomes of teaching in addition to the traditional display of an educator's achievements covered by Boyer's (1990) concepts in the scholarship of teaching. In the United States, the importance of learning outcomes to higher education was brought to the attention of the public through the Spellings Report (U.S. Department of Education, 2006). As a faculty member returning to the classroom after more than two decades of service as an academic administrator, I am well aware of how extensive the accountability shift from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning has been, without needing to read the Spellings Report. …

The Unified Learning Model: How Motivational, Cognitive, and Neurobiological Sciences Inform Best Teaching Practices . By Duane F. Shell, David W. Brooks, Guy Trainin, Kathleen M. Wilson, Douglas F. Kauffman and Lynne M. Herr . 2009. Springer (ISBN 9789048132140). 211 pp. Hardcover. $139.00. As a teacher, I desire a deep understanding of how students learn, so that I can be effective. As a teacher of science, my desire for understanding includes the researched explanations of learning theories. I am not satisfied by anecdotal reference nor convinced without testing a hypothesis. In the field of physics, Einstein searched for a Grand Unified Theory. In biology, cell theory unites the entire field. I sensed similarities trying to be reached with this model. It is not a theory, but a model based on the research in the field. The writers of The Unified Learning Model (ULM) intend their book to satisfy classroom teachers as well as teaching …

But what about Fred Seitz, Fred Singer, Robert Jastrow, Bill Nierenberg, or Steve Milloy? These less widely known individuals posed equal threats to good science. In their eye-opening book, historians Naomi Oreskes and Erik Conway detail how these individuals (and others) deliberately orchestrated public skepticism about scientific consensus on tobacco, nuclear winter, acid rain, the ozone hole, second-hand smoke, global warming, and DDT.
