Long before his iconic acting career, which includes roles in “Taxi” and “Who’s The Boss,”
Tony Danza received a degree in History Education. During the 2009-2010 school year,
he took on his most challenging and rewarding role yet as he stepped into the classroom
as a full-time teacher at Philadelphia’s Northeast High School.
Most recently, Tony took on his most challenging and rewarding role yet, teaching 10th grade
English at Philadelphia's Northeast High School. His amazing experience working as a real
teacher was taped and will air in the form of a seven part special series.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Danza received a wrestling scholarship to the University of
Dubuque in Iowa, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in History Education, a degree he
didn't actually get the opportunity to put to use professionally until this year.
Discovered at a boxing gymnasium in New York, Danza was ultimately cast in the critically
acclaimed series "Taxi," earning him a place in television history, and sending his life
down a road far from teaching.
“Teach: Tony Danza” follows the first year-teacher as he instructs a 10th-grade
English class with 26 students in back-to-back 45-minute periods.
The series will look at the challenges Danza faced and the rewards he experienced as
a first-year high school teacher. Under the watchful eye of Northeast Principal Linda Carroll
and in-classroom teaching coach David Cohn, Danza applied incredible creativity and ceaseless
dedication in his day-to-day tasks of planning lessons and executing them in the classroom,
administering quizzes and exams, grading homework, engaging in small learning communities
with other faculty, and meeting with parents.
Beyond the real-life duties of teaching, Danza took on quite a few additional roles outside
the classroom including helping the football team, the band, and the debate team, and
organizing a successful fundraiser for the school. And he became a true member of the
Philadelphia community, partaking in events with the mayor, singing the national anthem
at a Phillies game and lending his support to a variety of charity and fundraising events.
