Tom Vander Ark, former head of the Gates Foundation's education efforts and now leader of innumerable intriguing initiatives, has put together two interesting and compelling education reform top ten lists for 2010--one on the individuals likeliest to have a big impact and one on reformers to watch.
I'd add a few names to his lists (like Baltimore's Alonso and Rhode Island's Gist) but otherwise think he captured things very well.
Who do you think will have the most influence this year? Who else should we be keeping an eye on?
