    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.
