Learning Services
My name is Krysten Tzakis, and I am the Learning Services Teacher at Kootenay Discovery School. With a background in education, nursing, and special education, I am committed to creating inclusive learning environments where every student can thrive.
At KDS, I work with students from Kindergarten to Grade 12 who require additional support through Individual Education Plans (IEPs), adaptations, and other learning strategies.
My role includes:
✅ IEP Development & Support – Collaborating with families and teachers to create and update IEPs tailored to each student's unique strengths and needs.
✅ Accommodations & Adaptations – Helping students access learning through personalized strategies and tools.
✅ One-on-One & Small Group Support – Providing targeted support for academic skills and self-advocacy.
✅ Collaboration with Parents & Teachers – Ensuring a team-based approach to student success.
✅ Assisting Students with Learning Differences – Supporting those with learning disabilities, ADHD, anxiety, and other exceptionalities.
I also offer virtual check-ins and one-to-one academic support to ensure students and families feel supported throughout the year.
