CAID Mission
Mission History
The mission of the History is to focus on an organization of teachers and other education related personnel to promote student learning and development by bringing together local, state, regional and national interest organizations...
Mission Statement
Council of American Instructors of the Deaf - CAID
CAID continues to respond to teachers…
The CAID continues to follow the tradition begun in 1850 and recognizes the value of bringing fellow teaching professionals together to share experiences and ideas for the purpose of improving learning opportunities for deaf and hard of hearing children, adolescents and young adults.
CAID has undergone a metamorphosis…
The CAID recognizes change. National Certification has given way to State Certification and teachers have become more dispersed. Where in the past, CAID members tended to work side by side at regional centers (state schools or large metropolitan programs), currently, most teachers in deaf education are spread out often working in relative isolation, doing their best to meet the needs of their students: with varying degrees of success and varying degrees of frustration.
CAID has a new mission…
The CAID focus is consistent with a current generation i.e., We are attempting to reach out to the thousands of teachers who are working with deaf and hard of hearing students in diverse educational environments (Kindergarten through College), most of whom are relatively isolated from colleagues who are experiencing similar challenges.
CAID recognizes the importance of communication…
The CAID is establishing and maintaining a communication system, a communication network that will allow for immediate and effective communication on both a general level (CAID.org and CAID listserv; on FaceBook at "Council of American Intructors of the Deaf" and "CAID-Students"; and at the a specific level CAID REGIONAL & SIG listserves).
CAID is inclusive…
The CAID welcomes ALL persons involved in the teaching/learning process with deaf and hard of hearing students to become a member of this vibrant community, regardless of how one practices the art of assisting each deaf and hard of hearing student to achieve ones academic potential and personal dreams. CAID members include teaching support professionals, educational interpreters, instructional, techs counselors and others involved with deaf and hard of hearing learners.
