Alabama ESA at a glance (2026)
iTeachWise gives Alabama families AI-powered lesson planning, standards-aligned materials, differentiated instruction, IEP-aligned supports, and assessments — whether you teach a single child at home or run a small microschool.
Unlike general AI lesson tools, iTeachWise is built for homeschool families and special education: every lesson, worksheet, and assessment is IEP-aligned and standards-aligned. As a convenience, plan purchases include purchase records formatted for scholarship documentation (see the sample record) — confirm what your program covers with your state's program.
