South Carolina ESA at a glance (2026)
iTeachWise gives South Carolina 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 South Carolina, 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.

Three things South Carolina families ask iTeachWise to do
- Plan. Generate a full week of lessons aligned to South Carolina state standards in under 10 minutes per subject.
- Differentiate. One-click adaptations for IEP, ELL, and gifted learners — every variant tagged to the matching IEP goal or ELL accommodation.
