David Liben's 'tell it like it is' style combined with his raw humor and literacy expertise make him an invaluable resource and information source on this podcast! He has worked with Student Achievement Partners (SAP) and synthesized research behind the CCSS. David discusses why old habits die hard, the impact of knowledge and vocabulary on comprehension, and why we've shifted away from leveled text to complex text for core instruction. Resources:  Text at the Center by Liben a Pimentel Conceptual coherence, comprehension, and vocabulary acquisition: A knowledge effect? by Cervetti, Wright, Hwang Vocabulary and the Common Core by David Liben
