Bio

Dr. Juliann Dupuis joined the faculty at Notre Dame of Maryland in August of 2012. During her tenure, she has helped to develop the Leadership in Teaching STEM program, teaching many of the courses. In addition to the STEM program, she has taught both the graduate and undergraduate science and social studies methods courses at the elementary and secondary levels. In all of her courses, Dr. Dupuis uses community partners to provide authentic real-world experiences to immerse her students in the content and pedagogy of STEM education.

Dr. Dupuis has successfully developed the STEM program through a partnership with 100K in 10, a national network committed to solving one of our country’s most pressing challenges – giving kids a great STEM education – by adding 100,000 more, excellent STEM teachers to America’s classrooms by 2021. This work continues as a member of the Beyond 100K community, working to address issues related to STEM education and STEM teacher development and retention.  In addition, she has created a STEM summer camp for Kindergarten through 10th grade students, hosted STEM networking meetings and presenters, and held STEM festival events as part of the Maryland State STEM Festival. Dr. Dupuis helped develop the Maryland State STEM Framework at the state level.

Dr. Dupuis feels strongly about Environmental and STEM education and is an active member of both the North American Association of Environmental Education and the Maryland Association for Environmental and Outdoor Education. She served on the conference planning committee for MAEOE in various capacities, including as co-chair. She is also the State Coordinator for the national Project WET program which focuses on teaching the world about water in relation to solving environmental challenges.
