Montana ESA at a glance (2026)

iTeachWise gives Montana families AI-powered lesson planning, IEP-aligned differentiation, and receipt generation designed for ESA documentation. Whether you teach a single child at home or run a small microschool, once iTeachWise is approved in Montana, every output — lesson plan, worksheet, assessment, certificate — will be timestamped, standards-aligned, and tagged with the ESA category code your state asks for, so approved families are receipt-ready from day one.

Unlike general AI lesson tools, iTeachWise is built for ESA families and special education: every lesson, worksheet, and assessment is IEP-aligned, standards-aligned, and automatically documented with an itemized, category-coded receipt formatted for ESA audits — planning, IEP support, and compliance documentation in one workspace.

How iTeachWise keeps Montana ESA spending audit-clean

Montana SSOs audit scholarship spending against approved-use categories. iTeachWise is designed to generate SSO-friendly receipts and a per-student annual learning summary aligned to Montana Content Standards once iTeachWise is approved in your state.

Three things Montana families ask iTeachWise to do

1. Plan. Generate a full week of lessons aligned to Montana state standards in under 10 minutes per subject.
2. Differentiate. One-click adaptations for IEP, ELL, and gifted learners — every variant tagged to the matching IEP goal or ELL accommodation.
3. Document. Per-quarter receipt packets and a year-end portfolio export that match what Montana ESA administrators want to see.
