Bill Levinson is a superintendent with over thirty years of experience. He co-authored, with Mary Frances Callan, Achieving Success for New and Aspiring Superintendents: A Practical Guide (Corwin) for experienced principals and district office administrators who want to become superintendents. The authors are committed to the belief that the more knowledgeable an administrator is about the superintendent position before seeking the position the more likely they will obtain a position and be successful in their first, most challenging year. The book is also popular with experienced superintendents looking for renewal and career guidance.
