Many of the educator preparation programs within CAHS have program-specific accrediting agencies that require the periodic submission of progress reports. Known as Specialized Professional Associations (SPAs), these agencies require the preparation of “SPA reports” that are submitted to the SPA as well as to CAEP. For our CAHS education preparation programs, these SPAs include:

Council for Exceptional Children (CEC)

Special Education - Multicategorical, Post-Baccalaureate

International Literacy Association (ILA)
