• Abstract: This paper explores the transformative impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on teachers' roles and agencies in education, presenting a comprehensive framework that addresses teachers' perceptions, knowledge, acceptance, and practices of GenAI. As GenAI technologies, such as ChatGPT, become increasingly integrated into educational settings, teachers are required to adapt to evolving classroom dynamics, where AI plays a significant role in content creation, personalized learning, and student engagement. However, existing literature often treats these factors in isolation, overlooking how they collectively influence teachers' ability to effectively integrate GenAI into their pedagogical practices. This paper fills this gap by proposing a framework that categorizes teachers into four roles -- Observer, Adopter, Collaborator, and Innovator -- each representing different levels of GenAI engagement, outlining teachers' agencies in GenAI classrooms. By highlighting the need for continuous professional development and institutional support, we demonstrate how teachers can evolve from basic GenAI users to co-creators of knowledge alongside GenAI systems. The findings emphasize that for GenAI to reach its full educational potential, teachers must not only accept and understand its capabilities but also integrate it deeply into their teaching strategies. This study contributes to the growing literature on GenAI in education, offering practical implications for supporting teachers in navigating the complexities of GenAI adoption.

  The study focuses on Ghana, where challenges such as limited pedagogical modeling, performance-based assessments, and practitioner-expertise gaps hinder progress. GenAI has the capacity to address these issues by supporting content knowledge acquisition, a role that currently dominates teacher education programs. The study concludes by recommending empirical research to explore these roles further and develop practical steps for integrating GenAI into teacher education systems responsibly and effectively.
