In the hope of developing social workers who can work effectively with persons and communities other than their own, social work educators have utilized the traditional information-transmission approach as the preferred model of education. In 1968 this same model was rejected for cross-cultural training in the Peace Corps. This paper examines the applicability of the experiential learning model that was developed by the Peace Corps after 1968. The paper suggests that the experiential learning model has a much greater potential to achieve the desired objectives in the minority area and is worthy of consideration for all of social work education
