I just thought of something else -- when one of my students was completing the survey with the locations - he couldn't find his country. He's originally from the Phillipines so that's where he still associates as where he is from. I had to tell him to put USA.
In NYC we have a very international pool of teachers in our graduate program. They are all teachers working for permanent certification. Not only are the children in NYC schools diverse, so are teachers. I only had 8 in class although 5 more were supposed to be there. Besides Phillipines I have 1 from Ecuador and 1 from Jamaica. I also had 7 men and 1 woman who teachers kindergarten. All others are middle school or high school teachers, one special ed., one physical ed, 3 math, 1 dean of students, one music. The dean said that most of his job is with discipline problems. It's an interesting mix.

Ruth remindes me that we should remove the country items from the survey because it will reveal the participants' country. I change the item to "skip this question" and hopefully it won't affect the second activity.
