This paper presents results of an in-depth survey of nearly 100 introductory programming (CS1) instructors in 17 countries spanning six continents. Although CS1 has been well studied, relatively few broadly-scoped studies have gauged its state at scale. A handful of studies and surveys have been conducted in the past two decades, but not on a global scale. In addition, CS1 is a notoriously fickle and relatively fast-changing course, and many might find it beneficial to know what other instructors are doing across the globe. Expanding upon several surveys conducted in Australasia, the UK, and Ireland, this survey facilitates a direct comparison of global trends. The survey goes beyond environmental factors such as languages used and examines why CS1 instructors teach the way they do. In total the survey spans 84 institutions and 91 courses in which a total of 40,362 students are enrolled.
