WHO’S THE TEACH?



I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High, Tony Danza

This event is presented by PNC Bank.

I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had is television, screen and stage star Tony Danza’s absorbing account of a year spent teaching tenth-grade English at Northeast High -- Philadelphia’s largest high school with 3600 students. Featuring indelible portraits of students and teachers alike, I’d Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had reveals just how hard it is to keep today’s technologically savvy – and often alienated -- students engaged, how impressively committed most teachers are, and the outsized role counseling plays in a teacher’s day, given the psychological burdens many students carry.

About the Author: Actor Tony Danza (born Antonio Salvatore Iadanza; April 21, 1951) is probably best known for his starring roles in the TV series, "Taxi" and "Who's the Boss?," for which he was nominated for an Emmy Award and four Golden Globe Awards. In 1998, Danza won the People's Choice Award for Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series for his work on the 1997 sitcom The Tony Danza Show. In 2010, Danza fulfilled his lifelong desire to be a teacher and took on his hardest and most rewarding role yet, working as a tenth-grade English teacher at Philadelphia’s Northeast High School. In 2011, A&E aired his experience in a limited seven-=part documentary series called "Teach." Danza will be returning to network television in a half-hour sitcom titled, "The Guys."
