Kudos to Rick Federighi, an eighth-grade history and social-science teacher at Ralston Intermediate School in Belmont.
He is the 2008 Educator of the Year for the Belmont-Redwood Shores School District.
Federighi (the guy with the plaque in the photo) has served at Ralston for more than 30 years.

From mid-August to early September, my head is spinning with numbers and percentages from student-achievement results released by the state Department of Education.
During that span, the department sends out the latest reports on STAR, API/AYP/PI and CAHSEE, that is, state test scores, academic-performance yardsticks and the high-school exit exam.
The last was the exit exam a week ago, and I’m still recovering today.

With all the talk and media coverage the past year of the achievement gap, I thought it would be worthwhile to explore that subject in-depth and find out what schools in San Mateo County are doing to tackle that problem.
