Education reform is a dynamic development process. The reform of basic education is based on policy discourse and academic discourse, which makes teachers often in a weak position, showing the loss of discourse right and subject identity. The reform of basic education is deepening day by day, most researches on the effectiveness of the reform are focus on that when the top designers of the reform found education practice didn't accord to the design concept, the teacher's own quality and refusal of the new ideas and concepts are considered to the main reason that make the reform difficult to promote, while neglect to understand the rationality and the localization practice of the reform from the perspective of teachers'.The reform of class management system takes place in the class which is the most basic unit in the school, and it's initiated by the W school. It is usually that the head teacher is in charge of the class management affairs alone, after the reform of class management system, the class education group will bear collective responsibility for the class management affairs. The reform suggests that the head teacher should liberate from the transactional work and exert the other teachers'enthusiasm. The reform changes the teachers' daily work status and living conditions, considers each teacher's subjective role in the play. So it involves the vital interests of all the teachers, and thus has far-reaching significance. The research revolves around the process of the class management system reform carried out by the W school, tunes the research perspective from the explicit platform and the great environment of school to the individual teacher's roles and situations.
