ECISD leaders go back to school at Leadership University

Ector County ISD has announced the theme for this year’s Leadership University: “The Art of Reflection.”

This three-day local conference is dedicated to district administrators, providing them an opportunity to come together, sharpen their leadership skills, and prepare for the start of a new school year.

How do you reflect on your achievements and strive to improve for the future? “The Art of Reflection” will guide our discussions and activities as we consider the past year’s successes and challenges, and how we can enhance our efforts moving forward.
