Alabama Learning Exchange

ALEX (Alabama Learning Exchange) has many tools to help educators. One can easily click on the "Courses of Study" link, click on any subject, and then select a grade level. There he/she will find different topics within selected grade and subject that they might need more information on in order to teach effectively. There are lesson plans that can be accessed from the subject section, or by clicking on the "Lesson Plans" link and selecting fields from the menu and then searching for what one needs. For even more education to help the educator become more proficient, the educator can click on the "Professional Learning" link for learning tools, latest educator news and the best practices.If one has any problems with ALEX or just needs some help making lesson plans etc. there is a help link and a soon to be available "support round table". Also Teachers can submit their own lesson plans as well by becoming a member. This helps out teachers by being able to share lesson plans not only with teachers in your school, but teachers throughout Alabama. ALEX is a wonderful resource tool and I believe having it available helps teachers educate better. The more resources and knowledge available, the better off we all are.
