This curriculum resource guide, one of seven developed by the State of Illinois to present information on new and emerging curricula existing in the nation, can be used as a basis for local educators to determine the resources needed to offer swine confinement management curricula and to initiate curriculum development at the local level. Chapters 1 and 2 contain an introduction and procedures for using the guide. Chapter 3 describes the job duties and typical employers of swine confinement facility assistant managers. In chapter 4 alternative curriculum approaches are presented--an associate degree program and certificate program. Chapter 5 discusses these resources required to implement the program: curriculum advisory committee, facilities and equipment, and instructor qualifications. The final chapter contains eighteen abstracts of curriculum and instructional materials; information provided includes title, author(s), availability, and price. Appendixes include lists of schools offering coursework in swine confinement management, related agencies/organizations and journals/periodicals, and swine farmer competencies. (A report on the project that identified the seven new and emerging occupations is available as CE 024 423. See Note for other curriculum resource guides in ERIC.) (YLB)
