4. A post-assessment evaluation to ensure learners can identify and assertively address passive-aggressive communication patterns in various contexts.

Industry Best Practices & Standards:
Adopt proven methodologies from communication studies, conflict resolution literature, and assertiveness training. Incorporate techniques such as active listening, empathy-based communication, and non-verbal assertiveness. Align with best practices recommended by the American Communication Association and other industry standards.

Quality Expectations:
Learners are expected to complete all assigned tasks to a 90% accuracy level. Regular self-assessment through reflection exercises and peer feedback will ensure continuous improvement. Demonstrable results include at least a 20% reduction in reactive responses and increased ability to resolve conflicts constructively.
