The Native Adult Instructor Diploma (NAID) program objective is to educate and train First Nation people. The NAID curriculum is designed for use by adult educators who work or plan to work with Native adult learners. Instructional needs unique to First Nation peoples are recognized and reflected within the context of historical, social and cultural patterns, while NAID instructional activities are built on the strengths of learners and instructor. Working together, building together, participants embark mutually on an educational journey to explore the world, identify real problems, and develop and implement real solutions. NAID is a model of learning designed to provide considerable opportunity for dialogue, collaborative learning, and ownership of the learning process by learners and instructor.
