** HAPPY Hour Student Showcase ** ** 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. ** ** Saturday, January 26, 2013 **

HAPPY (**H**aving **A**ctive **P**articipation **P**repares **Y**ou) Hour is the UCF College of Education professional development program. HAPPY Hour consists of monthly workshops conducted by College of Education and K-12 experts in areas of interest to our students. The workshops are free and require no pre-registration. Students simply show up, learn, have fun, and leave with tons of resources. A schedule of the 2012-2013 HAPPY Hour workshops can be found at __http://education.ucf.edu/happyhour__. Students are encouraged to attend the workshops to enhance their credentials as educators. The workshops attended can be added to the “Professional Development” section of the students’ ever-growing professional résumés. HAPPY Hour also includes the HAPPY Hour Student Showcase, an in-house conference that highlights teacher candidates as the presenters. This year’s Showcase will be Saturday, January 26, 2013, from 8:30-4:00 p.m. On-line registration is $10.00. On-site registration (the day of the Showcase) is $15.00. **To qualify for door prizes, register online by Monday, January 21, 2013, at http://education.ucf.edu/happyhour/register.cfm**. Payment must be received by Monday, January 21, 2013.

In lieu of taking Exam 1, students have the option of attending the __ENTIRE__ HAPPY Hour Student Showcase. Students attending the Showcase will submit an artifact (presentation handout) and a reflection in which they will reflect on the entire Showcase or on a particular presentation that made a significant impact on them. In their reflection, students will discuss what they learned from the Showcase and/or presentation and how they might apply what they learned once they have their own classroom. A reflection is NOT a narrative of what the presenter did and/or said. In a reflection, students demonstrate that they have gleaned something meaningful from the presentation and have given critical thought regarding how they might be able to use/implement what they learned in their future classroom/career.
