Fredrick completed a BA in English at Brigham Young University-Hawaii in 2001 and earned his MEd in Curriculum and Instruction at Portland State University in 2008. In addition to teaching at Â鶹ӰÊÓ, he has taught American Sign Language in high school as a special education teacher since 2006.

His studies have focused both on how to use Dr. Stephen Krashen's hypotheses on Comprehensible Input to teach languages more effectively than traditional instruction and also on the unique features of sign languages such as their lack of a written form and their six dimensional nature. Fredrick is interested in expanding research in these areas.
