What if not every learner participates in the technical or procedural skill component of an activity? Would we still comply with Criterion 30?
No. Every learner in an activity is expected to have been observed and given feedback to meet the criterion.
Commendation Criterion 29 requires that a provider teach/observe and provide feedback about communication skills. Can the observation/feedback portion be self-reported?
Yes and no. Individuals (or groups of learners) CAN self-report and/or self-assess their communication skills, yes. However, the accredited provider must also include external observation with feedback to the learner - for example, with a faculty member or a peer observer.
