About the store
Hi, I’m the creator behind Trailpost! I’m a teacher based in the Pacific Northwest with a background in both general education and music. I hold a B.A. in Education with a focus on Interdisciplinary Child Development from Western Washington University, but my path to the classroom was a bit unconventional!
Before teaching, I spent nine years as a software test engineer for Xbox, then pivoted to a career as a 1:1 behavior technician and early childhood educator. That unique combination of tech and child development completely shapes how I teach and design resources today. I love building tools that are practically "bug-proof" while remaining deeply centered on how kids actually learn and behave. (I even coded my own data-tracking tool, Waypoint, to make sure my students are actually growing while they play!)
I am also a huge history and literature nerd with a soft spot for authentic 19th-century Victorian aesthetics. In my literary resources, you will find high-quality, public-domain-inspired designs, so my Alice in Wonderland and Sherlock Holmes materials look like the authentic classics, free from modern movie adaptations! For my fellow music teachers, I also create resources grounded in solid pedagogy, incorporating Kodály methods for holistic music education.

ELA Joke Quiz for April Fools or Halloween Prank - Fully Digital - Interactive
A reading comprehension quiz that slowly gaslights your students. It starts completely normal with a literary passage, standard AP-style questions. Then the passage begins quietly rewriting itself while no one's looking. By the end, students won't trust their own eyes. Ends with confetti and relief. Works on any device, no prep.

Teaching style
In my classroom, I am all about gamification and interactive learning. If I can turn a math standard into a digital escape room or a history lesson into a browser-based simulator, I am going to do it. I believe that rigorous standards can absolutely be met through immersive play, and I strive to create resources that take the heavy lifting off the teacher's plate while keeping kids totally engaged.

For my fellow music teachers, I also create resources grounded in solid pedagogy, incorporating Kodály methods and Curwen hand signs.
Whether you are looking for a tech-forward classroom simulator or a solid, beautifully designed lesson plan to get you through the week, I hope you find something here that makes your teaching day a little bit easier and a lot more fun!
