[MOUSE is an amazing ed-tech non-profit based out of New York City. I’ve been affiliated with them for just about all of their ten years — I think I first worked with them about eight months after they were founded. They are on the side of the angels in every way, and we’re working to bring MOUSE to Philadelphia. Ted Bongiovanni sent me this job posting, and I’m happily passing it on here. Please direct any questions to MOUSE, and not me, though.]
