["Psychology in the Schools, EarlyView. ", "\nABSTRACT\nAn estimated 5.1 million children in the United States have experienced parental incarceration (Annie E. Casey Foundation 2016). Only recently has research begun considering protective factors in mitigating negative school‐based outcomes associated with this experience. Parental educational involvement is a critical factor in student outcomes, yet there is a gap in research regarding its role for underrepresented student populations, particularly those affected by parental incarceration. This systematic review addresses this gap by evaluating the nature of school‐based educational involvement for families affected by parental incarceration and by investigating the barriers and facilitators to that involvement. Our review of seven studies revealed mixed evidence. We identified key takeaways: parenting and literacy programs have the potential to facilitate involvement, family narratives are crucial to understanding engagement, and there is a need for further studies that disaggregate between maternal and paternal incarceration. Although studies identified barriers and facilitators, methodological differences and the small number of studies prevented clear, definitive conclusions. The findings highlight the urgent need for future research to adopt consistent terminology and methodology. Implications for school psychologists include employing a strengths‐based, family‐centered lens that acknowledges the unique challenges and diverse ways families affected by incarceration engage with their children's education."]
