Teaching is the profession that teaches all other professions.

HAPPY (Having Active Participation Prepares You) Hour is a pre-service professional development initiative that supplements the teacher preparation provided by coursework and field experiences. It enhances the quality of UCF’s initial teacher certification program, contributing to the development of highly credentialed teacher education graduates, and increasing their marketability in today’s highly competitive job market.
HAPPY Hour consists of HAPPY Hour workshops conducted by university faculty and PreK-12 educators on areas of relevance to the teaching profession, such as job interviewing tips and classroom management. These workshops are free and require no registration; students simply show up, learn, and have fun while doing so. HAPPY Hour also includes a HAPPY Hour Student Showcase that highlights our students as presenters and provides a tremendous opportunity for professional growth. This in-house conference is held the last Saturday of January.
