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.
