In the midst of a variety of educational policies that cut the creativity and professionalism of teachers, there are two ways that teachers must be done simultaneously in order to survive in professional performance. First, being critical of the various government education policies that suppress their autonomy and professionalism. Second, to be critical of yourself so as not to be used as an arm of the bureaucrat, but to rediscover his freedom and autonomy as an agent of change. When the various critics of educational policy have been mental because the political mentality is more powerful and the power struggle increasingly marginalize the teacher, there is one other remaining power that can be the bargaining force of teachers, that is, regain freedom and self-identity as a perpetrator of change.

Society changed, teacher identity also changed. The Latin saying, tempora mutantur et nos mutamur in illis (time changed and we also changed because of it). This wise expression applies to the journey of every individual's life, especially to those who live their vocation as teachers who are actually actors of change. Having a vision as an agent of change is a renewal in the world of education. Moreover, teachers can play a more active role in building a new society that is more just and humane through their educational performance.

Teachers are actors of change. That is the true nature of the existence of a teacher. With his teaching activities, he formed his teacher identity. It is through this identity that he establishes himself as the agent of change. Teaching activities conducted by teachers in the classroom will provide changes in the students themselves that will be useful for his life beyond class boundaries. As actors of change, teachers change students for the better, smarter, more proficient skills for the development of their profession in society. Teachers make students understand the issues more clearly so as to make decisions and act appropriately and responsibly in their lives. Good teachers make students ready to actively participate in the community so as to build and create a better society order from the present.

Change is a common phenomenon in human society, not a single society is really static, sooner or later all people will experience change. Changes in sharing into social change and cultural change. Social change is part of cultural change. Cultural change covers all aspects of life. Changes also have a slow run and some are running fast, in addition, there is also a small effect and great influence on the life of human society. Because there are changes that come from within the community itself and some are from outside the community.
