Teach: Tony Danza

Long before his iconic acting career, Tony Danza received a degree in education. Teach: Tony Danza chronicles the experience of the veteran film, television and stage star as he returns to his roots to take on his toughest role yet, as a first-year teacher at Philadelphia's largest urban high school. Will his students take him seriously? Under the watchful eye of the high school principal and an in-classroom teaching coach, Danza applies incredible creativity and ceaseless dedication to his real-life duties as a teacher, while taking on a few extra roles outside the classroom - and becoming a true member of the Philadelphia community. In this touching series, viewers will not only see the challenges and rewards Danza faces as a first-year teacher, but also how his students end up teaching him a completely different lesson than he planned on... a lesson about life.
