Wisconsin ESA at a glance (2026)
iTeachWise gives Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin, 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.

How iTeachWise keeps Wisconsin ESA spending audit-clean
Wisconsin DPI audits Choice and SNSP spending against approved-use lists and the student's IEP. iTeachWise is designed to tag every differentiated lesson with the matching IEP goal and output DPI-friendly receipts once iTeachWise is approved in your state.
Three things Wisconsin families ask iTeachWise to do
- Plan. Generate a full week of lessons aligned to Wisconsin 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. Itemized, audit-ready receipts (see the sample receipt) in a format designed for what Wisconsin ESA administrators want to see.
