jfried286: Welcome! to All Things Plants!

I'm not real familiar with Elephant Ears but your plant may be Elephant Ear (Colocasia esculenta). I know that over-watering can cause yellowing but the leaves in your photo don't look like the result of over watering. At first I thought it might be over fertilization but I wonder if it could be a virus of some sort? There's a virus called Dasheen Mosaic Virus that affects some Aroids, scroll down this page for photo comparisons http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc...

We have a few folks here who are very knowledgeable with Aroids so hopefully someone will pop in soon and be able to offer suggestions.
