Maryland ESA at a glance (2026)

iTeachWise gives Maryland 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.

iTeachWise offers AI-drafted lessons and IEP-aligned supports for educator review. Completed purchases produce itemized, timestamped purchase records formatted for scholarship documentation. The sample PDF illustrates a format only, not a real invoice or proof of payment. iTeachWise is not an approved or listed ESA vendor in any state; confirm eligibility and accepted documentation before purchasing.

Documentation support for Maryland families

BOOST concerns private-school tuition, not a flexible ESA for software. iTeachWise supports lesson planning referencing Maryland College and Career-Ready Standards and progress tracking, not generated family progress-report documents. No BOOST eligibility is claimed.

Vendor status: iTeachWise is not an approved or listed vendor in Maryland. Families should verify eligibility with their program before purchasing.

Three things Maryland families ask iTeachWise to do

1. Plan. Draft a week of lessons aligned to Maryland state standards, then review pacing and content before use.
2. Differentiate. One-click adaptations for IEP, ELL, and gifted learners — every variant tagged to the matching IEP goal or ELL accommodation.
3. Keep your records. Retain actual purchase records and required learning evidence. Progress tracking is available; generated family progress-report documents, attendance records, annual portfolio exports, state-aligned IEP goal banks, and verified state ESA category codes are not.
