This instructor's resource guide, one in a series of products from a project to develop an associate degree program for paraprofessional rural family health promoters, deals with teaching courses that focus on rural health. Discussed in the first section of the guide are the role of core courses in rural health promotional training and the production of focus guide materials for such training. The second half of the volume consists of focus guides for the following subject areas: biology (microbiology, anatomy, and physiology); introductory English; group dynamics; mathematics; the New Testament; psychology (human growth and development, adult development, and aging); and introductory sociology. Appended to the guide is an annotated list of other materials in the Family Home Health Training Program series. (MN)
