Larry Rosenstock wins because he speaks to all of us
personally and profoundly:
students, parents, teachers, administrators,
and everyone who cares about education.
Rosenstock wins because if more people knew about his successful schools,
they would be clamoring for them in their own backyards.

He edged out Geoffrey Canada by a hair, but that is another story. Michelle Rhee, Arne Duncan, POTUS Obama are higher on the news-maker scale (Time's criteria), but we went for the person hitting the most chords. Rosenstock walks the talk. He is guided by principles that defy conventional wisdom in education.
Rosenstock is founding principal and CEO of High Tech High in San Diego, which has been called a "great liberal arts school in disguise". In other words, it's not your father's tech school. With a college entry rate of 100%, this charter school (now a group of schools in southern California) is envied because it dispels many accepted notions of "what works" in education both in practice and by results.
