To our Filipino Teachers around the world,
Please take the survey and forward this message to our colleagues who are teacher migrants.
Education
International has given the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) Educational Foundation a grant to conduct
research on global teacher migration and mobility. Through the research, we hope
to help EI identify best practices for international teacher migration as well
as highlight issues of concern and expose abuses. We also want to help our union
colleagues around the world develop and promote strategies for positive union
engagement with migrant teachers. To better understand the motivation and experience of migrant teachers around the world, we have developed an online survey designed for individual teachers to complete and submit. Survey responses are collected anonymously; however, teachers may include their names and contact information if they wish to receive the results of the survey, along with the completed report, and be entered into a drawing for an iPad.
If you could fill this out and share with it other teachers in your network, whether they are working in the U.S. or elsewhere, that would be extremely helpful. The link to the survey is here, and if for any reason anyone would prefer to print out the survey and mail it, that is no problem either.
Maligayang pasko at maraming salamat po!
