iTeachWise gives Tennessee 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.

Documentation support for Tennessee families
Tennessee's Education Freedom Scholarship runs through ClassWallet and requires itemized receipts plus an annual learning-evidence summary. iTeachWise is not an approved or listed vendor in Tennessee's Education Freedom Scholarship program; every purchase generates an itemized, timestamped purchase record formatted for scholarship documentation, and it can compile a per-student learning summary you can choose to include. Whether a purchase is reimbursed is determined entirely by the program — confirm with your program administrator before purchasing.
Vendor status: iTeachWise is not an approved or listed vendor in Tennessee. Families should verify eligibility with their program before purchasing.
Three things Tennessee families ask iTeachWise to do
- Plan. Generate a full week of lessons aligned to Tennessee 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.
- Document. Purchase records formatted for scholarship documentation (see the sample record), plus IEP-aligned progress notes for your own files.
