Abstract: The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE) in the US Department of Education (ED) requests clearance for a new information collection for the School Ambassador Fellowship program. The U.S. Department of Education established the School Ambassador Fellowship to enable outstanding teachers, administrators, and other school leaders, such as school counselors, psychologists, social workers, and librarians to bring their school and classroom expertise to the Department and to expand their knowledge of the national dialogue about education. The School Ambassador Fellowship is a professional learning community designed to improve educational outcomes for students by leveraging the expertise of school-based practitioners in the creation, evaluation, and dissemination of information around national education initiatives. The Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) mobility program regulations (5 CFR part 334), revised effective May 29, 1997, allow federal agencies to facilitate cooperation between the Federal Government and the non-Federal entity through the temporary assignment of skilled personnel. In order to identify the most skilled personnel for the position of Ambassador Fellow we are requesting OMB approval to collect School Ambassador Fellowship applications.
