Illinois ESA at a glance (2026)

iTeachWise gives Illinois 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.

How iTeachWise serves Illinois families today

Illinois ended its Invest in Kids tax-credit scholarship in 2024 and has no ESA. iTeachWise serves Illinois homeschool families directly with curriculum, IEP support, and progress reports aligned to the Illinois Learning Standards.
