Daniel Elliott, Ed.D.
Professor; Curriculum Specialist, Office of Distance Learning
University-General
Profile
Daniel Elliott, Ed.D., is a professor, and serves as a curriculum specialist in the Office of Distance Learning NTEL. He is also a member of the Operation Impact MAOL Program faculty core team. Elliott formerly served the School of Education and Department of Educational Leadership. His expertise is in the areas of Educational Leadership, Organizational Leadership, Instructional Methodology, and Curriculum Design.
As a 1966 graduate of Azusa Pacific College, obeying God’s call by serving others has been Elliott’s life-focus. Azusa Pacific was the place he received true spiritual formation and a Christian heritage. There he learned about God’s love and to love with God’s love, and began to understand the power of the Holy Spirit within. That power carried him through personal conflict, military combat, graduate education, a career in public educational leadership, and decades of Christian service.
After leaving Azusa Pacific, Elliott undertook a year of graduate study in theology. The war and combat service in South Vietnam interrupted this path. After returning from combat, Elliott went into education. He served as a teacher of every grade, vice principal, principal, associate superintendent and superintendent of schools, districts, and a county office of education before joining the APU faculty in 1991.
In addition to ministering to graduate education students at Azusa Pacific University, Elliott volunteered for seven years as associate pastor at Children of the Shepherd Church for the homeless and poor in Hollywood. This was followed by a (bivocational) appointment by the Los Angeles District of the Church of the Nazarene to serve as pastor of the Montebello Lighthouse, a Church of the Nazarene in an Hispanic neighborhood of east Los Angeles.
