NEW REQUIRED TRAINING FOR 2019-2020!

Destination Imagination Inc is now requiring all Team Managers to pass a youth protection training in its online learning system. The training is available to all TMs who have registered in the Resource Area at https://resources.destinationimagination.org/resources.php and connected themselves to a 2019-2020 team number. (Click on Teams/MyTeams/Add Team). Once you’ve done that, you will receive an email from Adobe Captivate Prime with an invitation to join the learning community.
 
Once you log in, go to the catalog and open “Keeping DI Participants Safe.” Please do this as soon as you form your team so that we can ensure that all Team Managers are aware of the new DI policies and procedures. Teams will not be able to register for their Regional Tournament until all Team Managers have passed this training.  Please do not put it off until the last minute, as you will be unable to register before the deadline. 
 
While you are in the Adobe training system, check out all the other training modules available to Team Managers. 
  • Rules of the Road Overview
  • Getting Started as a Team Manager
  • Roles of a Team Manager
  • Understanding Interference
  • What Happens at a Tournament

Of course, face to face training is the best. But if you are unable to attend our training or you want to get a head start, we encourage you to complete the online training modules.
