Abstract
As school presents a unique challenge for children with behavioral issues the topic of how to
deal with challenging behaviors has become an increasingly important topic. The importance of
positive behavioral interventions and supports and its effect it has on students’ behavior in
physical education has come into focus. Analysis of previous research shows that rewarding
students when they engage in productive behaviors that will later be expected of them in
different contexts creates a positive association with those behaviors, thus incentivizing those
students to engage in those behaviors in the future. Positive behavioral interventions and
supports had significantly impacted students’ behavior in physical education, students with
disabilities versus students without disabilities, and student outcomes. Research has suggested
that students are motivated to be rewarded when they engage in productive behaviors. It also
suggests that positive behavioral interventions and supports demonstrates improvements in
disciplinary behavior, school climate, organizational health, student bullying behavior and peer
victimization, and academic achievement. The purpose of this synthesis project is to review the
literature on positive behavioral interventions and supports and its effect on students’ behavior in
physical education
