During his thirty-plus years in education, he has served as the State Science Supervisor for the Iowa Department of Education and as a science teacher at all levels of education. At Drake University, he teaches classes in Issues in Foundations of American Education (elementary, secondary, and graduate levels), Elementary Science Methods, and Science Safety. He has conducted nearly 200 science safety worships throughout the nation; served as an expert witness in court cases involving science safety issues; assisted industry, government, and education as a safety consultant; and developed training programs and software/CD-ROM packages customized to individual state needs. He was also certified by the U.S. Department of Transportation, Safety Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and the Council of State Science Supervisors (CSSS) 16-hour Occupational Safety & Health course in Safety in the School Science Laboratory. Having been a commercially licensed, multiengine rate pilot for several years, he is also conscious of being safe and prepared.
Dr. Dennis McElroy is an Assistant Professor of Education at Graceland University and does science safety consulting with JaKel, Inc. He has also served as Graceland’s Vice-President for Information Services, Educational Technologist at Drake University’s School of Education, and Technology Consultant for the Iowa Department of Education.
