CMLC Global Reflection Collections

Each Global Reflection collection is a “portable museum” – a large carrying case filled with intriguing, relevant, and aesthetic objects on a specific topic, collected from many cultures; that emphasize diversity through a unifying theme.

The CMLC Global Reflection Collections make these multi-dimensional resources available to educators (public, private and home schools), community organizations, community groups, and multicultural event planners for free. Well-researched background information on each object, maps, books, suggestions for activities and/or teaching plans for different ages are provided. The collections augment the curriculum and provide hands-on interaction with familiar objects that relate to unfamiliar objects; which in turn become gateways to other cultures. Each collection can be used independently and in conjunction with other collections.

Collections will have a 4-week check-out period, with 3-week renewal periods.
