Relationship, rapport, routine, respect, and responsiveness are often times the most difficult to facilitate and manage in school settings. However, these concepts are often connected to student achievement, student motivation, and overall school success. Success Favors introduces the Relationship Management System (RMS) (TM). It is a collection of proven strategies, techniques, and approaches developed to impact a school's culture and climate in a positive way. RMS is research-supported and designed to improve the intentionality of the interactions, positive guidance approaches, and the disciplinary practices within school settings. The book is written to engage the reader by presenting Alexander Crummell Academy. Crummell Academy is reflective of many schools across the country. The teachers, administrators, and other professionals of Crummell Academy, are faced with relational and classroom management issues common to many schools and classrooms. As the school's story evolves, the reader will experience how these educators use the RMS strategies in context.
