Background

About John McElroy

I am presently an Assistant Professor at Michigan State University. I teach first-year writing, but I have also been both a high school and middle school English teacher and social studies teacher. I have more than 15 years of experience in teaching, researching, and mentoring in the field of English education and composition pedagogy. My mission is to help students develop their critical thinking, communication, and literacy skills across disciplines and contexts. My core competencies include disciplinary literacy, teacher education, and composition pedagogy. I have published articles in peer-reviewed journals, such as the Journal of Social Studies Research, and presented at national and international conferences, such as the AERA and the LRA. I have also supervised pre-service teachers in their field placements and collaborated with colleagues and stakeholders in curriculum development and assessment. I am a member of several professional associations, such as the NCTE and the Kappa Delta Pi, and I am committed to lifelong learning and professional growth.
