The National Spanish Assessment (NSA) is an online, standardized assessment tool which tests both achievement and proficiency via computer-graded and rater-graded modules for students studying the Spanish language and is administered by the National Spanish Examinations (NSE), a program of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP). This tool for teachers was originally created in 2018, written from the same specifications and standards as the National Spanish Exam (NSE). Like the NSE, the NSA is a valid and reliable assessment of student achievement and proficiency.

The National Spanish Assessment (NSA) is not just an assessment tool, it is also a valuable resource for supporting teaching and learning!
In the spirit of National Teach Spanish Week (September 24th – 30th, 2023), we invite you to share a quick video with us demonstrating how you use the NSA in the classroom.
Video submissions should be no more than 5 minutes long and submitted by September 17th, 2023. Your submission will qualify as volunteer work for the AATSP under the new Distinguished Teacher Certificate program!
Registration for the National Spanish Assessment (NSA) is open throughout the school year, typically from mid-August until late June.
