Christine Hurley is a retired teacher who served as a librarian and French teacher at public and parochial schools for 22 years. She has coordinated fluency benchmark assessments and Read Naturally fluency intervention programs in both public and private schools, and initiated a Read Live summer program that for many years served hundreds of students from the Winston-Salem community. She was named NCEA Distinguished Elementary Teacher of the Year in 2008.
