Success in the Superintendency will help new and aspiring superintendents gain meaningful, practical information from award winning, experienced superintendents.

Worner, weaves information, advice, and research into each chapter making the book a valuable tool for all administrators.

Because of the wealth of information and advice, the book is ideal for graduate school students, beginning superintendents, and superintendents who seek some advice from those who are recognized by their peers as excellent leaders. The book is organized so that it is easily read chapter by chapter, or the reader can quickly search a topic of interest.
