Abstract

Effective cooperation among schools, families, and district‑level stakeholders is an indispensable condition for maximizing student success and fostering inclusive community development. Traditional partnership models often remain fragmented, episodic, and resistant to systemic innovation, leaving gaps in student support and educational equity. This article proposes an integrative mechanism grounded in an innovative pedagogical approach that synthesizes ecological‐systemic theory, design‑thinking principles, and data‑driven decision‑making. A mixed‑methods study conducted in three public schools in Tashkent Region examined how iterative co‑creation cycles, digital collaboration platforms, and community design labs reshape relational dynamics and educational outcomes. Quantitative measures included student achievement growth, attendance, and parent engagement indices over two academic years; qualitative data were obtained through focus groups and participatory observation. Results suggest that the proposed mechanism significantly increases multi‑actor coordination efficiency, strengthens trust, and yields measurable gains in learner motivation and well‑being. The discussion analyses enabling factors—leadership openness, distributed agency, and digital literacy—as well as constraints such as resource disparity and regulatory rigidity. The study concludes with recommendations for policy and practice aimed at institutionalizing the mechanism through adaptive governance and continuous capacity‑building initiatives.
