SPA stands for Specialty Professional Association. SPAs are national associations representing the education profession, such as NAEYC, the Association for Childhood Education International (ACEI), Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), and National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). NCATE is a coalition of more than 30 such associations. Approximately 20 of these SPAs have NCATE-approved standards. NAEYC is one of these specialty professional associations.
