Links between Challenges and
Educational Standards

Each year, Destination ImagiNation connects all of our Challenges to the educational learning standards. Connecting the learning standards and the Destination ImagiNation® Challenges does more than help our program succeed in the schools – it marries the fundamentals of education with a process that prepares participants for real life experiences.

This year, The Standards Connection to the Challenges very clearly articulates the relationship between each Destination ImagiNation Team Challenge and the McRel Standards. The national compendium of standards referenced in this study and created by the Mid-Continent Research for Education and Learning Group, can be located at http://www.mcrel.org/standards-benchmarks/.
