ALEX (It's a life saver)

ALEX for anyone who does not know is the Alabama Learning Exchange. This probably still does not clear anything up. ALEX is a amazing resource for any and all teachers. ALEX is a website dedicated to lesson plans and to Alabama Course of Study requirements. Teachers can post their lesson plans on the ALEX website for other teachers and students to view. You can view the plans by subject or grade level. This sorting method helps to target the specific item you are looking for. An example of this of ALCOS MA3.2, which is Alabama Course of Study for mathematics in the 3rd grade objective 2. Then, you will be able to find lesson plans on how to teach that objective.
ALEX is a wonderful resource for teachers and student teachers because everything is laid out so organized. Anyone can navigate the site and find what they are looking for. I have already used ALEX in my classroom management course to help me learn to develop great lesson plans. All teachers have different styles and ALEX has so many varieties of lesson plans that every teacher could find something useful from this resource. The web address is alex.state.al.us. Make sure you check it out!
