For Educators

For Educators — The Classroom Collective

TEKS-aligned Black history your textbooks left out — with narration your students will actually listen to.

The Classroom Collective is a membership for Texas teachers built on "Left Out of the History Books," the 12-volume series by Carlos L. Young Sr. Every volume is an interactive edition with built-in narration — the towns, innovators, educators, soldiers, and movements that standard textbooks skipped, told in full. The series and Educator Pack are mapped to the TEKS Social Studies strands — History, Government, Geography, Culture, and Science/Technology/Society — covering grade 4 and grade 7 Texas history, grade 8 U.S. History, and high school U.S. History and African American Studies (§113.51).

What's inside:

• All 12 interactive volumes with narration — ERASED: America's Lost Black Towns, America's Black Massacres, Black Innovators, Black Women, Black Wall Streets, Reconstruction, Black Educators, Black Soldiers, The Sound of Us, Black Explorers Cowboys & the West, The Black Press, and Black Faith

• The Educator Pack: a 38-page Educator Guide with lesson plans, discussion questions, and classroom activities, each keyed to its TEKS student expectations, plus the volume-by-volume TEKS Correlation Sheet

• A classroom license for one teacher

• A monthly "Ask the Historian" audio Q&A with the author

• New materials added for members as the series grows

$24/month or $197/year — one membership covers your classroom for the whole school year.
