| Stage |
Details and Considerations |
| Awareness |
- Review CGEs to help focus thinking prior to
drafting a personalized (rather than generic)
letter
|
| Illumination |
- A candidate exhibiting the qualities envisioned
for a Catholic graduate would make a positive
contribution to any association or group willing
to accept them
|
| Design |
- Select specific descriptors from the CGE document
to describe the personal qualities and strengths
of the applicant to complement and extend comments
about academic achievements and community service
|
| Articulation |
- Write letter to confirm the applicants demonstration
of specific qualities envisioned for a Catholic
graduate while a member of your school community
|
| Integration |
- Where appropriate, incorporate phrases from
CGE descriptors into the letter as specific qualities
demonstrated by the applicant
|
| Documentation |
- Final letter serves to confirm effectiveness
of collective efforts to educate mind, body and
soul, as well as to confirm the supportive nature
of the school community
|
| Celebration |
- Keep letters for successful applicants on file;
check their progress periodically; acknowledge
publicly the achievements of (former) students
and staff
|
