CITE Conference 2025 – Friday, April 11, 2025
Crossing Boundaries
The CITE Conference brings together English teachers from CIS Ontario member schools. We also welcome librarians, drama teachers, curriculum leaders, and any other faculty interested in shared knowledge and diverse perspectives to enhance the educational experience for both educators and students.
As educators, we play a pivotal role in equipping students to thrive in an increasingly globalized world. This CIS Ontario conference unites thought leaders and practitioners to exchange innovative ideas and engage in meaningful discussions on key educational themes.
8:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m.
Hosted by The Country Day School
Workshops
This year’s conference is packed with dynamic opportunities to help educators push the boundaries of traditional teaching practice. With six exciting workshops, attendees can look forward to sessions on:
- Integrating interdisciplinary teaching,
- Fostering global citizenship,
- Incorporating Indigenous perspectives,
- Addressing systemic anti-Black racism,
- And more!
Keynote Speaker: Andrew F. Sullivan
We are delighted to welcome Andrew F. Sullivan as our keynote speaker. An acclaimed author and storyteller, Sullivan’s works, including The Marigold and WASTE, explore the intersections of identity, community, and the human experience.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2025 CITE Conference as we come together to explore new ideas, share experiences, and cross boundaries in education. Your participation and insights will make this event truly unforgettable.
