Hundreds of Navy Yard workers began returning to Building 197 Monday, the first official day back to work there since 12 of their colleagues were killed in a mass shooting 17 months ago.Just before 8 a.m., they gathered under a gray sky outside the new main entrance to the renamed building, which houses the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) and has received a $6.4 million renovation. They saluted as the Navy band played, and a flag was raised. A cold rain fell as they prayed for their workplace, where contractor Aaron Alexis stalked cubicles, hallways and stairwells with a ­sawed-off Remington shotgun on Sept. 16, 2013.Read full article >> [Read full article »] <http://link.washingtonpost.com/544d41923b35d04a5290184028npc.2vp7/VM_YUsPoqcaXjWYOA2103>

The sound you hear is Raynold Mendizabal breathing a deep sigh of relief. Four months after a rooftop fire closed Urban Butcher, the chef and owner will reopen his Silver Spring restaurant, bar and meat shop on Monday, Feb. 9, with free appetizers, drink specials and a roast carving. The open house is being billed as a thank you for the community support Urban Butcher received during its unexpected hiatus, which included recognition for its lamb tartare and weekend brunch during a time when the place remained shut tight.Read full article >> [Read full article »] <http://link.washingtonpost.com/544d41923b35d04a5290184028npc.2vp7/VM_YUsPoqcaXjWY8A0497>

What makes a great teacher <http://link.washingtonpost.com/544d41923b35d04a5290184028npc.2vp7/VM9UCsPo_XyS326QA9cbb>

What is at the heart of great teaching? Ellie Herman set out to find out and the following post explains what she learned. Herman took an unorthodox path to the world of education. For two decades she was a writer/producer for television shows including “The Riches,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Chicago Hope” and “Newhart.” She wrote fiction that appeared in literary journals, among them The Massachusetts Review, The Missouri Review and the O.Henry Awards Collection. Then, in 2007, she decided “on an impulse” to become an English teacher. She got a job at a South Los Angeles charter school that was 97 percent Latino and where 96 percent of the students lived below the poverty line. She taught drama, creative writing, English 11 and 9th grade Composition until 2013, when she decided to stop teaching and spend a year visiting classrooms and learning from other teachers. She chronicled the lessons she learned on her blog, Gatsby in L.A., where a version of the following post appeared. Herman, who gave me permission to publish this piece, was awarded first and third place prizes in the 2014 SoCal Journalist Awards given by the Los Angeles Press Club for pieces on her blog. Now she teaches reading and writing at an after-school enrichment program for students from low-income families, visits the classrooms of great teachers, and works with writers, artists and other creative people.Read full article >> [Read full article »] <http://link.washingtonpost.com/544d41923b35d04a5290184028npc.2vp7/VM9UCsPo_XyS326QA9cbb>
