The"Community Little Teacher System":A Systematic Inquiry into Grassroots Social Governance Inno-vation Practices
Social governance,involving diverse stakeholders,is a complex system engineering.Addressing the chal-lenges and intricacies of grassroots governance necessitates the application of a systematic perspective,which or-chestrates the cooperation of various subsystems to generate synergistic outcomes.Drawing on the theoretical lens of systems thinking,this paper examines the grassroots governance practice of the"Community Little Teacher Sys-tem"in District B of Shanghai.It investigates how,from a systematic perspective,the"Community Little Teacher"functions as a central hub for integrating families,schools,and communities.This study delves into four aspects:comprehensively addressing governance needs,fostering collaborative engagement among governance stakehold-ers,optimizing the efficacy of the grassroots governance system,and enhancing the adaptability of grassroots so-cial governance mechanisms.The objective of this paper is to establish a novel grassroots governance model char-acterized by interwoven organizational networks and reconnected governance stakeholders,with the aim of offer-ing valuable insights for innovating the means of social governance.
