Since founding the company in 1979 along with her good friends Joy and Bill Evans, Jo Ellen Moore has continued to be a major contributor in the creative development and administrative evolution of the company. Moore's direction in areas such as brainstorming, prototyping, and production has helped Evan-Moor materials gain the reputation for quality and excellence they enjoy in educational circles today. Prior to founding Evan-Moor, Moore taught at a variety of schools throughout the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District for nearly 20 years, taking part in programs such as the Head Start summer school curriculum for low-income families. After devoting more than 25 years to Evan-Moor, she retired in 2006, yet continues to play a role in the creative development of Evan-Moor materials today. |
