CITE Conference

CITE, the Conference of Independent Teachers of English, supports the teaching and learning of English, media studies and drama at CIS Ontario member schools. A professional conference is held annually, which also celebrates the publication of INCITE, an anthology of student writing and visual art facilitated by CITE. 
 
To keep up-to-date on all CITE and INCITE happenings, networking with your peers, and discussions, join us on the CISO Connect CITE Network Hub (CIS Ontario members-only login.) and on X @CIS_CITE.

Thursday, April 16, 2026 – Online via Zoom

The CITE Conference brings together English teachers and department heads from CIS Ontario member schools.

Join us online on Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 4:00-5:30 p.m. for the 2026 CIS Ontario CITE Conference, where educators will explore Beyond Tradition: The Evolving English Classroom.

This year’s conference features five exciting breakout workshops to choose from that will help educators explore how our discipline is shifting and how we can shape that change with intention and creativity. Our goal is for participants to leave the conference with tools, strategies and ideas that you can apply directly to your practice.

Registration is now closed.

We look forward to seeing you on April 16th for an afternoon of insight and connection as we move beyond tradition and reimagine what our English classrooms can become.
