You identified your primary role as a teacher as
“Fostering student development and personal growth.”

It may be useful
to compare your results to those of a large sample
of teachers. The following table provides mean
cluster ratings and the average percentage of items
in each cluster rated “essential.” The data were
collected from over 2,800 faculty members at 15
community colleges and 17 private four year
colleges. The sample is clearly biased in the
direction of faculty working at institutions with
the education of undergraduates as their primary
mission, and if your institution’s mission differs,
you will want to keep that in mind.
