Developed within the context of the National Collegiate Honors Council and modeled on the writings of Paulo Freire, Clifford Geertz, and DavidA. Kolb, CAT was the brainchild of Bernice Braid in the mid-1970s.

Campuses and organizations across the country have also had the wisdom to borrow or steal this form of experiential education in countless adaptations. Two previous NCHC monographs have described the methods and practices of CAT or CAT-based experiential education: Place as Text: Approaches to Active Learning (2000 and 2010) and Shatter the Glassy Stare: Implementing Experiential Lea","cbCaib5o3eCMhc1l","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaib5o3eCMhc1l","pdf",1126494,160,"English","# Introduction\n## City as Text™ (CAT) and its purpose\n# CHAPTER 1: History and Theory of Recursive Writing in Experiential Education\n# CHAPTER 2: Claiming a Voice through Writing\n# CHAPTER 3: The Role of Background Readings and Experts\n# CHAPTER 4: The Beginner’s Mind: Recursive Writing in NCHC Faculty Institutes\n# CHAPTER 5: Assigning, Analyzing, and Assessing Recursive Writing in Honors Semesters\n# CHAPTER 6: Finding Appropriate Assignments: Mapping an Honors Semester\n# CHAPTER 7: Adapting City as Text™ and Adopting Reflective Writing in Switzerland\n# CHAPTER 8: Writing as Transformation\n# CHAPTER 9: Experiential Learning, Reflective Writing, and Civic Dialogue\n# CHAPTER 10: The Whole Journey","[{\"question\":\"What is City as Text™ (CAT) and why is writing central to it?\",\"answer\":\"City as Text™ is an experiential learning structure developed and practiced within the NCHC.
