In January 2018, elementary school teachers from Tully Central Schools in Tully, NY completed the second year of the 100K in 10 Grant, which is offered through a partnership with OCM-BOCES and The Smithsonian Science Education Center. The team of teachers from Tully Elementary School involved with this grant are Rachel Kolod, Abigail Lerch, Michele McNerney, Lisa Saile and Melissa Pickard. Through this grant, teachers were provided training related to the science units developed by the Smithsonian Science Education Center, as well as professional development in how to conduct a formal "Lesson Study." Tully teachers then worked with teachers from around the area to choose a specific element of a Smithsonian Science Lesson, which they then researched and evaluated.
