Enhance your career and enrich the educational journey of your students through teaching College Credit Plus courses. By becoming CCP credentialed, you help your students get a head start on college while enhancing your professional profile.
To receive approval, teachers must have a master's degree in the content area they plan to teach CCP classes in or a master's degree plus 18 hours in the content area. Some AU departments may also require an interview with the department chair and/or prior college teaching experience.
Any coursework completed to fulfill the credentialing requirements will contribute toward continuing education and professional development requirements for the renewal of your educator license. You can review program details for each content area below.
Since most mature students choose to work with others in their age group, and the teachers too must learn to take care of their own bodies as time will inevitably stress their joints, ligaments and bones regardless of how in-shape they may be, we do spend a bit more time on modifications and contraindications to provide safe and effective practices for aging bodies. We skip aggressive practices such as Ashtanga that they are less likely to use when they begin teaching, and opt to add a bonus training of Chair and Assessable yoga to round out their skillset.
These results can and should be found in any and all authentic yoga teacher training programs. But for some reasons, awareness and growth comes easier and with more lasting impact in a program where all the students share relatively the same energy, a bit of history, and a broader view of life gained from experience. The RYS-200 Yoga Teacher Training Program for ages 50 Plus at Heartwood is a good reminder that yoga is timeless, and so are we.
Ginny Shaddock is an ERYT-500 Yoga Teacher and IAYT Yoga Therapist and the founder of Heartwood Yoga Institute. Heartwood offers three RYS-200 Yoga Teacher Training Programs a year specifically for ages 50 plus; a 16 day immersion every fall and spring and a one day a week program for local students offered once a year starting in October.
The bachelor's degree in physical education (PE) plus at the University of Kansas prepares individuals to become PE teachers at the pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade levels. The PE plus program also prepares graduates to pursue a licensure endorsement (by KSDE examination) in a variety of areas, or earn a minor in business or sport management.
Students who graduate with a bachelor's degree in physical education plus from the University of Kansas will have fulfilled the requirements for the degree as well as the requirements to pursue an initial teaching license in physical education for pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in Kansas. Graduates who have chosen to pursue a second teaching area in addition to PE, will have also completed coursework to prepare them to earn (by KSDE examination) an add-on licensure endorsement in one of the following areas: health (PK-12), mathematics (5-8), science (5-8), English (5-8 or 6-12), speech/theatre (6-12), or psychology (6-12). The bachelor's degree in physical education plus prepares individuals to work as teachers in the classroom, as well as with other physical education-related settings. Potential position titles after graduation could include:

I really like my Duncan Teacher Plus. Question: For bisque and glaze firing, I start the switch at the 10:00 position, even though no markings are there. I turn the switch to 8:00 position two hours later, 6:00 position two hours later, etc. I keep the toggle at Low Manual. My witness cones from the top, middle and bottom shelves are all the same. Sometimes I do a drop hold on a glaze firing to heal pinholes. Do any of you have a better firing schedule?
I'm a newbie potter and recently purchased my own Duncan teacher plus kiln secondhand from a guy who repairs kilns, so I was glad to get directed to an owner's manual on this thread. I tried the link but it's no longer working--I get that 404 message: essentially an internet dead-end, and Paragon is currently not answering the phone due to COVID. So I decided to wing it by doing a series of test fires and logging what happens. BTW my kiln doesn't have that toggle switch at the bottom--just a dial that turns counter clockwise with three settings: Over-glaze, Ceramic and Hi-Fire. Guy who sold the kiln told me--incorrectly as it happens--that I was supposed to bisque fire at the same cone as the clay; so Cone 5 clay needed a Cone 5 bisque cycle. (Good thing I double checked with an actual potter!) Without a manual I had no idea which setting to use for bisque firing, so I put it on Ceramic, used an 06 bar, set up two shelves, threw a few shards of green-ware all over them, and put an 06 witness cone on each one to see what would happen. The kiln switched off in just over 4 hours, bar was sharply bent, top witness cone looks like a tired elephant, lower witness cone has a good arch but dips a little low (I had set them on potsherds). So, I am guessing I needed to use the overglaze setting to do a bisque firing. Good news is it DID hit cone 06 with no difficulty, and my pieces were properly cooked even if the final temperature seems to have been a bit higher than planned (possibly heated up too quickly? Any thoughts on this?)
So, one other question I have about this model. Since it's technically automatic, I'm particularly interested in learning whether its possible to play around with firing routines. Has anyone ever changed a setting mid-firing? I mean, I wonder if it is wise, or possible, to start at a Hi-Fire setting, and partway through switch to a lower setting to get the effect of a "hold" such as you might have on a programmable kiln. I don't want to experiment with that kind of thing if it will do damage, but I would be interested if you, Neil Estrick, might have some ideas about what kind of flexibility can be had with this kind of kiln.

basically for bisque, time is needed to burn out organics which means a slow firing (200 degrees per hour) of about 9-12 hours. On automatic set to low and start. First two hours is auto then reverts to infinite switch knob setting. You may need to manually raise this as time goes on to finish in 9-12 hours. Page 13 lowest setting is overglaze then ceramic then high fire. Think of it as Low, Medium, High actually and it should make more sense.
All the knob for "overglaze, ceramic, hi fire" does is set an intermittent timer. A super expensive timer to boot. I have helped two people get these working and both had a bad timer. Seems like people use the kiln until the timer fails, and then sell it on Craigslist and pretend it works.
Might be what he meant but I think I saw a similar thing in the kiln manual referring to cone; will need to look again to make sure. Could it be they are referring to a biscuit fire instead of a bisque? I am only learning the difference in those terms from watching the Washington Street Studios YouTube channel--they go into a lot of history as well as chemistry and physics. I guess these days most people fire low for bisque and higher for glaze; apparently a biscuit fire does the opposite--higher for bisque than for glaze. Not sure why things are done differently now--new glaze technology, perhaps?
Just did another bisque test, this time with cone packs in three areas (2.5 shelves stacked 5-6 inches apart) and partially loaded with a few pots on each level. I used 06 witness cones and guard cones at 05 and 04. It reached cone 06 in just under 5 hours (my first firing in empty kiln it was around 4.5 hours). This time my 06 witness cone on bottom shelf at the center looked like a decent optimal burn--nice arch--and the 05 cone and 04 guard cones looked factory new. The 06 cone on the edge of the bottom shelf (opposite the sitter) looked tired and droopy and the 05 guard cone had a slight lean to it; 04 looked untouched. Middle shelf had 06 cone quite overdone (reposing elephant pose) and the 05 cone had definite lean to it of about 15 degrees. Of course I forgot to put the cone pack on the upper half shelf!
