With the implementation of the Curriculum Scheme for the Senior High School (experimental manuscript), a lot of schools set out to study and compile the school-based curriculum. After analyzing the background of the school-based curriculum at home and abroad, this paper discusses the current research situation of school-based curriculum and puts forward the unique research ideas and research methods according to the realistic situation of her own school. Three specific case studies are used to illustrate the problems in using the school-based curriculum and effective suggestions are put forward. Also, the author makes explorations of school leaders'functional shift during the research of the school-based curriculum.The research into school-based curriculum has unique significance as follows. Firstly, the establishment of curriculum management systems of different classes including the nation, the province or the city and the school supplies power to schools and teachers to participate in the research. Teachers'having the initiative and the management is beneficial to realize the pursuit of educational value and maximize the educational outcome according to the schools'own educational philosophy. Secondly, the education in high school is the basic education based on nine-year compulsory education, as well as the preparing stage for advanced education in colleges and universities. That schools share the power and authority to study school-based curriculum is of vital use and important to enforce the education in students individualizing themselves and preparing for the education of next stage or the career planning, which lays foundation for students'development after graduation. Thirdly, in terms of other teaching resources including human resources, all teachers who graduate from universities have the ability to do research on school-based curriculum, making preparation for the enforcement of school-based curriculum. Fourthly, the exploitation into school-based curriculum is a dependent condition of quality education, and high school education is the best period to educate the students to be independent, explorative and cooperative.

Thirdly, the procedure of the research is lack of scientific standard and accuracy and the quality of the curriculum varies. Fourthly, mono-evaluation tendency of college entrance examination leads to the utilitarianism for teaching at the stage of senior high middle school, which affects the current research of school-based curriculum.According to the above, this article from a basic unit educator's angle, the union practice stratification plane's accumulation and the resonsideration, the effective remedy which the exploration ordinary high school collated and corrected copy curriculum develops.
