In a journal published at University of Salford, Manchester, England, this article gives suggestions for solving two related problems 1) How to introduce any innovation into an established school system, and 2) How to carry out interdisciplinary education in schools, with the descriptions of the types of technical assistance needed to carry out a continuing educational program. Both of these problems and the approach to institutionalization have been incorporated in a concept of a Regional Environmental Learning System (RELS) NOTE: This article builds on the reference materials available in the 6-volume report titled A Sourcebook for the Design of a Regional Environmental Learning System, a 1979 Report edited by John Warfield as part of a research contract for the U.S. Office of Environmental Education.
