There is a unique vulnerability that comes with packed suitcases, new orders, and starting over thousands of miles from home. As military-connected educators living abroad, we are masters of personal shifts, but that lifestyle shouldn't come with a hidden professional cost: isolation.

Shifted Classrooms is an independent, registration-driven network built to deliver world-class professional learning to base communities worldwide.

As your Global PLN Coordinator, I eliminate the geographic gap & handle the logistics to bring the authors and innovators we want to learn from directly to our Pacific (~21,000 students) and Europe (~25,000 students) regions. You get high-fidelity, world-class PD brought directly to you—so you can grow the way you deserve.

“We SHIFTED our lives overseas.

— Allison Hodges, Founder of Shifted Classrooms & Global PLN Coordinator

Let’s build the professional network we deserve!
