The PCOR Partnership is committed to providing classroom resources that address the role of practical and environmentally safe ways to reduce anthropogenic CO₂ emissions and the level of CO₂ in the atmosphere. CO₂ management options include the use of efficient energy systems, development and use of advanced energy systems, energy conservation, use of renewable energy sources, and CO₂ sequestration.

• In collaboration with Prairie Public Broadcasting, the PCOR Partnership is hosting a two-day teacher institute entitled "Prairie Energy & Carbon Teacher Training Institute" on November 18–19, 2011 at the Energy & Environmental Research Center in Grand Forks, ND. More information and registration is available through Prairie Public Broadcasting.
• The Keystone Center has developed a middle and high school school climate change curriculum with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy. Each year, several curriculum training workshops are held across the United States. In July 2009, a 2-day training session was held in Omaha, Nebraska, in conjunction with the PCOR Partnership.
  
  

  Jeremy Kranowitz of Keystone (center) welcomes teachers from Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska to the second day of the Climate Status Investigations curriculum workshop in Omaha, Nebraska.

• The Northeast Sustainable Energy Association has K-12 curriculum that covers many of the options for reducing CO₂ emissions.
• The Institute for Global Environmental Strategies has developed an extensive resource for educators to provide students in grade levels 1-12 with an understanding of and activities focused on the potential consequences of climate variability and change.
• Teachers' Guide to High-Quality Educational Materials on Climate Change and Global Warming. This guide points K-12 educators to the best sites for teaching about climate change: several that offer first-rate background material, and others that include detailed lesson plans and experiments. Climate change is a great topic for students to study because it integrates so many subjects: energy, environment, geography, politics, chemistry, biology, economics, and more. It requires students to use analytical tools and math skills and to exercise their abilities to research, think, and understand complex issues.
