Ask teachers:
What did you notice?
What are you trying?
What do you need?
Don't ask:
What were your scores?
How many students were below?
Interim results are for teaching decisions, not evaluation. When teachers believe that, they give the harder interim blocks and you get honest evidence.

Coach's Note:One of the most useful things a principal can do between sessions is protect a PLC block, not collect interim data. Ask what teachers noticed, what they are trying, and what they need.
