About Evan-Moor Educational Publishers

JO ELLEN MOORE

Founder and Retired Publisher

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.
