CITE Teachers of English Network

The Conference of Independent Teachers of English (CITE) supports the teaching and learning of English, Media Studies and Drama at its member CIS Ontario schools.

The CITE network members produce two ambitious annual complementary projects: the CITE Conference, an annual professional conference for teachers of English; and INCITE, a publication of an anthology of student writing.

The CITE Network also facilitates meetings of member schools' English curriculum leaders, and provides a social and professional network for literacy teachers. 

Alongside the CIS Ontario team, CITE professional learning events and the INCITE Anthology student experience are planned in conjunction with the CITE Executive, a dedicated group of english educator volunteers as follows:

  • Sarah Williams, CITE Chair, Assistant Director of Academics & Head of English, The Country Day School
  • Ashley Domina, CITE Communications Director, English Teacher, Villanova College
  • David Finklestein, INCITE Student Writing Competition Coordinator, Learning Support Specialist and Subject Head, English, Crescent School
  • Claire Pacaud, CITE Events Coordinator, Teacher of English, St. Clement's School
     

Join us on the CISO Connect CITE Network.

English educators at our CIS Ontario member schools are invited to join the members-only CITE Network on CISO Connect, our member community platform. Educators can connect through the dedicated Network Hub, joining over 400 english teacher peers for collaboration and shared learning. The network is led by Sarah Williams, Assistant Director of Academics & Head of English, MS/SS AP & OSSLT Coordinator at The Country Day School and Ashley Domina, English Teacher at Villanova College.
