ALEX- The Alabama Learning Exchange

According to the website ALEX is a project of The Alabama Department of Education that gathers and shares many types of educational material and information with administrators, educators, parents, and students. This program not only allows administrators and teachers access to material that meet state standards, but gives parents and students the opportunity to learn what the state standards are in all subject areas for grades K through 12.
The link also states that the ALEX Team is determined to provide the best resources to meet the unique needs of teachers, administrators, parents, and students. It explained that most of the resources (lesson plans, web links, etc.) are located and connected by national board certified teachers. As a result of this effort, parents, teachers, and administrators will operate from the same page and guideline, and therefore have the same reasonable expectation of the students.
It seems ALEX is a great asset to the Alabama Department of Education. As an Education major, as long as this information is available, I'll certainly benefit a great deal from it. As it improves and expands, I hope to grow along with it.

Introducing Me

Hello Everyone,
My name is Silas Darrell Smith. Until about five years ago, all my friends and family called me Darrell. In 2002 I bought a personalized license plate that read "SILAS", and now it seems everyone calls me Silas. You can call me Silas or Darrell because I don't have a preference. I'm 41 years old. My wife Carolyn and I have been married for 10 years. We have one 8 year old son named Gabriel. I work at Gautier High School in the Special Education Department as a teachers assistant. I'm an ordained minister. I'm a gospel musician (piano & organ). I love the Lord, singing, and playing gospel music. I'm a new member of Friendship Baptist Church. I'm a junior here at USA and my major is Secondary Education emphasizing English. My short term goal is to teach high school students English. I'll gladly receive any good advice, instruction, and support.

Thank You,
Silas Darrell Smith
