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) ™. 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.

Great material which makes for a great read. Not only for educators but for just about anyone who works with young people. Even parents will find this to be a gold mine of a book. With many districts implementing procedures to avoid punitive measures, I’ve found that effective relationship building still allows educational leaders to maintain a firm structure and learning environment. And this book tells you how to do it. I would encourage any and all professional development directors to invest in this material. I just wish I could attend their next presentation.
