“At Spedster University, we subscribe to the belief that both children and adults learn best via varying methods, approaches, content, schedules, and modalities. We further believe school district leaders need as much flexibility as possible to meet the diverse needs and demands of their specific learning environments. For that reason, we have created a highly customizable, flexible, and content rich professional learning system for these leaders.”
