This survey was designed to collect descriptive demographics and the cultural background data of foreign-born international educators (current and prospective) working in the U.S. The anonymous web-based survey was advertised in the INTER-L and SECUSSA-L mailing lists in October 2003. We sincerely thank 70 Foreign Born International Educators who took time to responded.
