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, families get an itemized, audit-ready receipt for their plan purchase (see the sample receipt) — confirm the exact expense category code with your state's program.
Unlike general AI lesson tools, iTeachWise is built for ESA families and special education: every lesson, worksheet, and assessment is IEP-aligned and standards-aligned, and your plan purchase comes with an itemized, audit-ready receipt for ESA program records — planning, IEP support, and compliance documentation in one workspace.
