Humanities Texas-Mrs. Daisy Tucker has just been commended by the 2025 Outstanding Humanities Teacher by Humanities Texas. This prestigious award recognizes her remarkable impact as a humanities educator in Texas. This year, Mrs. Tucker led her 5th-grade students at Drs. Reed and Mock Elementary through an inspiring service-learning project titled "Don’t Wait for a Miracle, Be the Miracle." Their efforts brought in generous donations for the San Juan Nursing Home, directly supporting the daily needs of local elders.As a dual-language teacher, instructional coach, and curriculum writer, Mrs. Tucker’s influence extends far beyond her classroom. She works with districts across the Rio Grande Valley, helping teachers develop effective strategies for improving reading comprehension among emergent bilingual students. Her passion for education is matched by her commitment to cultural preservation and community engagement.Mrs. Tucker is also a celebrated local author. Her books — Voices from the Past, Don’t Kill My Curandera, and Let Love Lead! — have been featured at the University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi, and UTRGV. These culturally rich texts not only highlight Mexican-American traditions and storytelling but also incorporate comprehensive questions aligned with Texas state exam standards for grades 3–10. Her work has even reached educators as far as Australia, who are eager to integrate Chicano folklore into their own teaching.In addition, she serves on the Texas Education Agency’s Educators Committee and attends national education conferences every summer to advocate for the needs of students in San Juan and the greater Valley.
