FRANKFORT, Ky. -- A resolution approved by a Senate = committee=20 yesterday is aimed at improving student proficiency in math by focusing = the=20 curriculum on fewer standards.

A growing consensus of state, = national and=20 international education groups says math curriculum must be streamlined, = emphasizing the most important concepts, Senate Majority Leader Dan = Kelly told=20 the Senate Education Committee.

Kelly, a sponsor of the = resolution, said=20 a report by one group complained that math teaching is "a mile wide and = an inch=20 deep."

"And we've heard this complaint repeatedly in Kentucky," = he=20 added.

The committee unanimously approved Senate Joint Resolution = 19,=20 which directs the Kentucky Department of Education to revise its core = standards=20 for teaching math from pre-kindergarten through the 12th grade. It also = directs=20 the department to revise its testing program to ensure that the "revised = concise" curriculum is tested.

The resolution now goes to the = full=20 Senate.

Alice Gabbard, director of diagnostic intervention for = the=20 Kentucky Center for Mathematics, testified for the resolution. She said = that=20 currently "only 56 percent of our students are ready for college = mathematics=20 when they leave high school."

She said teachers are pressed to = cover too=20 many topics.

"There are particular math topics that need more = emphasis,"=20 Gabbard said. "If you have teachers that are just covering these quickly = in=20 order to cover other topics, then we run into the problem where teens = are not=20 well-prepared."

Kelly, R-Springfield, said many math teachers in = Kentucky=20 are trying to focus on the concepts most important to prepare students = for the=20 next grade level.

"But they find the problem is we have these = broad=20 standards in Kentucky that are being tested, and they don't know what to = do. Do=20 we focus on the things that get our kids ready, or do we focus on these = broader=20 standards that give us a good test score?" Kelly said.

Elaine = Farris,=20 interim commissioner of education, said after the meeting that she = agrees with=20 the concept of the resolution.

"We need to narrow the standards. = They=20 need to be clearer, fewer and higher," she said in an = interview.

But=20 Farris questioned whether new standards could be adopted and tested by = the=20 2009-10 school year as required by the resolution.

"The major = concern for=20 us is the time issue," she said. "We would need a lot more=20 time."
