Design Engagement for School Communities (DESC) toolkit

http://www.architecturecentre.org/publications

The DESC toolkit is a set of 24 question cards, designed to be used by school stakeholder groups (pupils, teachers, governors and parents) to help them explore an existing building- either their own school, or a building they are visiting- based on the DQIfS (Design Quality Indicators for Schools) framework. There is also a set of draft guidance notes- both downloadable from the Centre's website publications page
