How iTeachWise keeps Ohio ESA spending audit-clean

Ohio Department of Education audits EdChoice and Peterson spending against the approved-use list and the student's IEP. iTeachWise generates IEP-tagged lessons, receipts, and quarterly progress notes.

Three things Ohio families ask iTeachWise to do

1. Plan. Generate a full week of lessons aligned to Ohio 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 Ohio ESA administrators want to see.
