It is of importance to ensure that administrators, staff, and faculty know in which category they fit based on their job title and responsibilities. For the purposes of the AIM assessment, each school should use its own definition for the constituent groups. The categories may be defined somewhat differently by each NAIS school. The AIM climate survey identifies seven (7) constituent categories: student, trustee, administrator, faculty/ teacher, staff, parent/guardian, and alumnus/-a.
