ALEX

The Alabama Learning Exchange (ALEX) is a resource for teachers of any grade level to use. You can access this very helpful resource through the internet, and it provides teachers with things such as course studies, lesson plans, and even a personal workspace in which they can layout a specific lesson plan for their students. A teacher can use the Course of Study section to see exactly what each grade level should be learning and concepts that should be taught. In the Lesson Plans section of ALEX, teachers are given specific lesson plans that are modified to fit every subject of every grade. You can look up what concept is to be learned and then are provided with a layed out plan that you can give to your students. ALEX also provides you with links to other helpful resources online, which will broaden the amount of information and activities that you are able to give to your students.

This online resource is very helpful to teachers of any grade level. It is especially helpful to new teachers who may need to find specific lesson plans for a certain subject or course of study. I know that I myself will feel overwhelmed when first thrown into my first teaching job, but ALEX is perfectly suited resource that will lessen the stress of having to figure out lesson plans for every day of class. It will help teachers in every grade level, and will in turn help their students.
