The Oregon Department of Education is working on creating a test for students who speak English as their second, not first language.  It appears that the current test required for Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) as required by the Federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program is biased towards native English speakers.

The new test in Oregon called the “Aprenda” will cater to Spanish speaking Oregonians and will meet federal guidelines for NCLB
