Florida ESA — frequently asked questions
Is iTeachWise approved by the State of Florida?
No. iTeachWise is not currently listed on MyScholarShop and has not been approved or endorsed by the State of Florida or by Step Up For Students. Families should confirm eligibility with their scholarship funding organization before purchasing.
Which Florida scholarship is iTeachWise best for?
iTeachWise works for FES-EO (private school choice) and FES-UA (unique abilities), and pairs especially well with FES-UA's therapies-and-curriculum bundle.
Can iTeachWise help with Florida's learning-evidence documentation?
iTeachWise generates dated, standards-aligned lesson plans and IEP-aligned progress documentation you can choose to include as learning evidence. Whether any material counts toward Florida's FES annual review is determined by your reviewer and the official Florida program — confirm the exact evidence they expect before relying on any format.
