This novel program is designed to take our educational material to the country side.  We shall formulate a road plan to sponsor and organize mobile seminars and workshops in all localities in Arizona.  These localities will be based on school districts,  The goal of this project is to reach as many teachers and administrators as possible to promote the latest paradigm of New Era Children’s fund. 

This enterprise is produced and facilitated by the National Teacher Training Institute(NTTI).

Among the many subjects we shall discuss are the new and old paradigms of mankind.

There are different Levels of Social Change. We are currently experiencing Social Change of the Fourth Kind. And this level of social change always marks a major paradigm shift. NTTI & NECF advocate this New Paradigm based upon our state-of-the-art understanding of human nature, human capacities, and our modes of psycho social interaction. The Paradigm utilizes modern science AND the wisdom of ancient peoples whose knowledge was successfully applied for thousands of years before the first great paradigm shift. It draws upon the library of human knowledge in all fields, and that is perhaps a good place for us to start a brief outline of the dimensions of the present paradigm shift. This list is only suggestive of the extent of current trends.
