Todd A. Czubek

Instructor in Education
BS, MEd, Boston University

After serving as a teacher and coordinator in schools for the Deaf, Mr. Czubek is now a PhD candidate in the Applied Linguistics program within the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. His research and teaching interests are in the areas of the role of ASL and English in effective bilingual programming for Deaf children, the affordances of new media in rethinking typical notions of literacy and the creation of conventions for compositions in ASL (a language that has almost exclusively been considered in the face-to-face tradition). He has written several articles related to these areas and is the author of a soon-to-be-released major work of ASL fiction. In addition to his teaching and practicum supervisory roles, he is the coordinator of a Department of Education, OSEP grant responsible for implementing innovative teacher preparatory strategies related to bilingual programming for Deaf children.
